Appendix II: <strong>The</strong> Rockies<br />

sacrifice were the rest of the packmates able to escape.<br />

Now, the diminished pack lurks on its territory, howling<br />

for its loss and growing ever more wary of venturing<br />

beyond its borders.<br />

In the midst of the territory is a young oak tree,<br />

planted from a seed the pack found while searching for<br />

a locus years ago. After consulting the omens, the pack<br />

planted the seed and has tended it ever since then. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

is a small cave close by where the packmates keep a ritual<br />

fire burning, though they haven’t been as careful as they<br />

once were in keeping the flame alight.<br />

Aside from their alpha, Night’s Call to Arms, the<br />

other members of the pack include Chilling Murmur of<br />

Laughter (Ragabash), Furious Spark of Inferno (Ahroun)<br />

and Profound Weight of Seasons (<strong>The</strong>urge). <strong>The</strong>ir totem<br />

is a spirit called Wolf that Blazes with Anger, though that<br />

blaze has dimmed slightly as the pack’s grief over Haunting<br />

Howl of Peril’s death threatens to overwhelm them.<br />

Night’s Call to Arms is lost in his pain. Losing a<br />

packmate is always difficult for the Uratha, but Haunting<br />

Howl was his beta, and the two were closer than human<br />

words can describe. She was his confidante, his best<br />

friend and his voice of reason. Call (as his name is usually<br />

shortened) is a tactical genius, with an instinctive grasp<br />

of combat, but Haunting Howl planned the long-term<br />

strategies and gave the pack its direction. Call has healed<br />

the wounds caused by the Predator Kings’ klaives, but the<br />

loss, the failure, still burns in him like a silver thorn. His<br />

pack might be physically ready to strike back at the werewolves<br />

who took Haunting Howl’s life, but Call isn’t sure<br />

how to strike. <strong>The</strong> once-sure warrior has lost his nerve,<br />

and could be on the verge of running rabid. For now, he<br />

masks his indecision with stoicism, but the rest of the<br />

pack is getting antsy and eager to move.<br />

In Urhan form, Call is a black wolf, with white<br />

“socks.” A long streak of white fur has grown along his<br />

side over the scar from the Predator Kings’ claws. In<br />

human form, he’s a tall white man, with unruly black<br />

hair that hangs down to the middle of his back. He<br />

rarely smiles anymore, and not even the joy of battle<br />

can thrill him.<br />

JAGGED SKY’S PACK<br />

Max Roman’s call for multi-tribal packs has had a few<br />

successes. <strong>The</strong> New Hope pack has achieved some notoriety<br />

for its ability to ignore tribal differences and work<br />

together as a functioning pack (at least, it does when Roman<br />

makes an effort to point out what that pack is up to).<br />

With every success, however, come some failures. <strong>The</strong><br />

members of this recently formed multi-tribal pack are having<br />

great difficulty overcoming their differences and forging<br />

the bonds that turn a group of individuals into a pack.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se five werewolves chose to come together not out of a<br />

common emotional bond or goal, but simply because they<br />

believed in Max Roman’s dream. <strong>It</strong> might not be enough,
