Renown is a record; its a visual log of the acumen, actions, and story of a werewolf. Each brand has a
story to it. Each one is remembrance for some deed, some action, something that was a contribution to
this world. It is a measure of the worth of a Werewolf and also tells a litany of stories about the life that
Werewolf lived.

The accolade one gains from Renown comes from word of mouth - the very stories that your Renown tells
is what drives you forward. Much like Spirits grow in power through acting in accordance with what they
are and evolving from there. Werewolves are Half-Spirits, the gift of recognition by the brands recognized
by Luna and her Choir is recognition of their activity within the auspice of her Choir. Each Werewolf, by
virtue of this is therefore gaining further recognition, as renown is gained their Spiritual rank increases.

The Pure gain their renown in a similar, but very contrasting practice. They prove themselves worthy
amongst each other and the spirits they serve, the Choir of their Tribal or Pack Totem...sometimes even
Lodge Totems, but largely from their fellow werewolves judge the worthiness of that renown. It is scarred
into their flesh. Its Red from earning it through Fire and Blood...the way its mutilated onto the body. They
dont receive the blessings from spirits; they arrogantly carve it into themselves.


Renown in MES Play

One facet of role-playing in the MES is the "level playing field" for gaining experience points. As all
characters gain experience points according to the same set of rules wherever they are, we have a level
of trust that allows characters to travel from one game to another.

However, despite some very detailed descriptions regarding Renown (see W: tF p194) we don't have any
benchmarks between STs for what constitutes Renown "in the eyes of the Lunes" - it's left entirely up to
the ST. Left to their own devices, players may find themselves with glaring inconsistencies in the deeds
they've performed, and STs might end up glossing over what could be an important part of ''Forsaken''.

Storytelling the Rite of the Spirit Brand

Restrictions

The Rite of the Spirit Brand (W: tF p151-2) is more than just a rubber-stamp to grant a character a nifty
scar, a dot of Renown and a free Gift; it's an appraisal of a Forsakens conduct and deeds by a Choir of
Lunes, and as such should take a number of factors into account.

Sufficient Experience Points are not enough: The Uratha must have performed some deed that makes
them worthy of that extra dot.

You can't bullshit the Lunes: Between them, they know everything worth knowing about an Urathas
conduct. Every time a Forsaken does well, and every time a Forsaken screws up, the Lunes ''know''. They
won't necessarily be willing (or able) to pass any of this information on, but they know as much as any ST
does.

The Lunes can still refuse a perfectly performed rite: The Lunes (''i.e.'' the ST) have every right to make a
Rite of the Spirit Brand fail, even if the ritualist player passes every test to perform it. The Lunes are, in
effect, acting as the STs "impartial" judgment of whether the Forsakens deeds are worth it.
The Lunes have standards: Uratha who've recently gone against the base expectations of a Lunar Choir
should find their requests refused; a Forsaken claiming Glory for deeds in the past will still be refused if
she's acted like a coward in the last week. A well-performed Rite of Contrition (W: tF p155) might mitigate
or cancel this.

The Lunes are fickle: Or, to put it another way, "If the ST has doubts, fail the rite."
One last point on MES bureaucracy: Remember that the Rite involves the expenditure of experience
points; your character's local VST always has veto on it.

Storyteller Logistics

As Renown has an experience point cost, it is important to make sure your Local Storyteller is always in
the loop. They may require that you record it as part of your downtime - even though you did it at that
game. They may require a submission of the story behind the renown before they approve it. It is
suggested that each Storyteller, with their players, decide how you want that to be handled and then
make sure it is codified within the VSS.

The " Free" Gift

One of the attractions of Renown is the "free" Affinity Gift that comes with it; however, that Gift is
frequently taught by a Spirit other than the Lune brought forth by the Rite of the Spirit Brand. Usually the
Rite: Summon Gaffling is required for this, but even that's not a free ride; it must still be given appropriate
Chiminage for it to teach the Gift.

So what happens if nobody present can perform the appropriate summoning? Well, in that case the
Uratha (and probably their pack) will have to hunt down an appropriate Spirit and haggle with it. Until
they've managed that, the character has the Renown brand, but no extra Gift.

This may or may not work in your favor. Sometimes the gut reaction to purchase something has a long
term consequence. Waiting to see what you find as necessary may allow you to treat those free
purchases like much needed tools in the toolkit as opposed to that new toy.

General Rules of Renown

Characters don't spring out of nowhere; neither does Renown

Of course, most players aren't like this, but everybody knows at least a couple:
When a Forsaken character's initially created, it's inevitable that some players will pour buckets of
experience points into Renown at the expense of fleshing out the character that earned them. As an ST
it's your duty to keep characters in some way plausible to the setting; keep your eyes peeled for "Wise"
Ithaeur that only know three first-rank Rites, or Glory-drenched Cahalith with skills and attributes that
suggest they couldn't talk or fight their way out of a cardboard box. The Renown you earn should look like
you actually earned it.

Players should keep a Renown log
It is desirable for a player to keep a log of when their character gained Renown, and what they did to earn
it. It doesn't have to be much more than a sentence of description. They don't need to note down how
they acquired their first three ''gratis'' dots of Renown (or two, for Ghost Wolves). It just has to be enough
for the character to answer questions like ''"So why ''do'' you have that much Glory?"''

It helps with justification of actions, approvals, and helps over the long term to the health of the chronicle.

One tale, one dot

An Uratha character may only claim one dot of Renown for any one given act. For instance, if a pack
saves a group of Wolf-blooded by beating the hell out of a pack of Pure, each individual Forsaken may
choose to increase either their Purity or Glory for this act, but not both.

Prepare Renown in advance, and let players know they've qualified.

Although it's inevitable that some players will chase up their Forsaken VST with excuses to chalk up
Renown, it's good form to let them know they've achieved something. If you're writing up some plots in
advance, this means you, the ST, can preemptively dodge players trying to wheedle more Renown out of
you. You won't be able to keep track of everything, but it'll help
.
Examples

* Having defeated a particularly vicious and well-prepared nest of Beshilu, the ST mentions to the players
that this qualifies them for up to their third dot of Glory
.
* After successfully brokering a peace between two small feuding packs, the ST mentions to the player
involved that this qualifies them for their second dot of Honor.

Don't get wound up about overlap

Notable deeds don't have to be conveniently pigeonholed into one category of Renown. Expect deeds to
bleed over into multiple categories. One category will likely suit it best, but there's no need to be too fussy
over claims for the first couple of dots that aren't in their "ideal" Renown.

These guidelines are merel y guidelines.

If you think a player's pulled off something a little too easily or cockily - like an effortless Gift/Rite combo -
feel free to cut back on its Renown level. Conversely, don't be shy about cranking it up a notch if the
character's taken an unusual amount of risk, resources or time over the task. And remember, the list that
follows is far from complete and is meant as the jumping off point. If your players don't come up with stuff
that's not on here, something's not right.

Rough Guidelines to Levels

1st Dot: Keeping your nose clean.

Barring sheer stupidity or recalcitrance, the first dot of any Renown should be almost trivial for a character
to achieve after a few months; Service to a pack, not treading on the wrong toes, doing your Auspice's
job, not breaking the Oath of the Moon, and so forth. Look at the Base Expectations under each category,
and be sure to abide by those rules.

2nd Dot: In the line of duty.

A character should be able to pick up the second level of Renown for putting a serious effort in, or service
over time. It doesn't need to have taken a spectacular amount of risk, but it does need the Uratha to have
seriously gone out of their way.

3rd Dot: Tales of note.

This level of recognition is for Uratha who've put their neck on the block, or put in work that's taken
months to complete. If the second level of Renown counts as an Uratha "Employee of the Month," then
this is "Employee of the Year."

4th Dot: Heroics

Risky and potentially suicidal stuff starts here; you could get Rank 3 Renown with sheer courage or
commitment, but if it took ability and smarts, it belongs here.

5th Dot: The stuff of legend.

If you tell newbies about this and their jaw drops or they don't believe you, it might well qualify for this.
This is the stuff that heroes get to pull off maybe once in their lives.

Guidelines by Renown Category

Cunning

Base Expectations

Keep the People hidden from the Herd. Don't blunder into danger. Be flexible; don't be a slave to the rules
when the rules don't work. Don't be gullible; stay skeptical of your enemies' words. Cunning is a measure
of an Urathas knack for accomplishing an important task with subtle grace. To those who understand the
principles of Cunning, they know that some things are on a need to know basis and most of the time
others don`t need to know. Maintaining the tenants of "the Herd must not know" is a prime example, but
isn`t the only one. It doesn't matter for whom the act benefits. It could be personal, for the pack, tribe,
lodge or nearly anything else. Lies, misdirection, silence, assassinations, frame jobs and spying are all
techniques that would be wise to hone as one`s expected competence grows. Sometimes, the acts that
fulfill the virtues of Cunning could be interchangeable with another Renown type. This should not be a
huge surprise, but the full weight of the deed can only be applied to a single renown trait
.
Sins against Cunning.

The main problem with Cunning is that when it backfires, it can become a rather nasty affair. Not every
plan is going to go smoothly, even the Lunes know this, but there are some things that can be anticipated.
If you get caught by a wise elder or an equally crafty Uratha, then there isn't much shame in failing. it`s
still not good, but "what did you expect`? Then....there is behaving like a sticky fingered thumb-less oaf.


* Blundering into an easily-avoided trap.
* Accidentally letting the Herd know about the Uratha, or leaving blatant clues for them to find.
* Falling for a ruse when you really should know better.
* Dogmatically sticking to a strategy or technique that's obviously not working.
* Causing a delicate plan to backfire by talking about it to the wrong people. (We are assuming that the
intention was not deliberate sabotage, just the Uratha being an idiot)
* Constant stealing or lying to or upon ones own pack to the extent that they become endangered.
Obviously, being caught is an important factor in which it leads to a worst case scenario.
* Leaving blatant clues behind from a caper that lead enemies to be able to ambush your pack/tribe/allies.
(there is no "harm" in being outwitted by a well skilled opponent, but if they are relatively oblivious on a
normal basis and still manage to find you....)

In Lieu of Other Renown

Any act that qualifies for any other Renown, but which was performed without the knowledge of anyone
but your accomplices (and the Lunes) may be claimed as Cunning.

* Planting false leads that lead two feuding packs to unite in the face of a greater threat.
* Tricking a traitor into revealing themselves, without tipping your hand.
* Quietly eliminating a threat to the People without anyone noticing that the threat existed.
* Misdirecting a rival pack to such a degree that both sides join forces to defeat a mutual threat, even if
the other pack originally believed otherwise.
* Sneaking into an enemy's stronghold and killing their rather powerful leader, before they can do
anything to stop you.
* Your innate curiosity and willingness to go where you probably shouldn't pay off and you discover some
bit of valuable information that can be of benefit.
* Finding out about a massive chunk of evidence from the People getting sloppy or about to be exposed
and erasing every bit of information.

Human Identity

''Note: Having a human identity involves being known by the usual agencies of the Herd - social security,
driver's license, bank accounts, a stable address and even a regular job. A character doesn't qualify for
this type of Cunning if they live in a rural or wilderness area, if they deliberately ignore the human world,
or treat the Herd as an annoyance.''

Maintaining a human identity for a month without alerting the Herd: 1 Cunning Renown.

Deeds Worthy of The Fifth Renown

J ust for point of comparison; these are examples from the above that would qualify a character for the
fifth dot of Renown.

Cunning

* A large nearby wilderness area is held by the Pure. You needed to know their movements and
locations, so you snuck into their lands and spied on them for a month. When they noticed you, you
managed to pass yourself off as one of them. You brought back good, reliable information.
* A nest of Azlu captured your Wolf-Blooded brother, and used him as the lure for a trap. Somehow you
walked in, dropped a decoy, and got out before they knew anything had happened.
* A large and well-organized human network was stalking and killing werewolves. You pulled off a
scheme that destroyed, disbanded and discredited the organization without them being aware that
werewolves were involved, and salted their records with enough misinformation to render further research
worthless.

Glory

* Your pack took down a Ghost Child with a penchant for throwing silver weaponry.
* Your pack routed one of the Idigam with no help from others.
* You took down a Lesser J aggling single-handed, despite it throwing its Gaffling minions at you.
* You surf a tsunami.
* You're over 120 years old.

Honor

* You brokered a truce with the Pure of a very large area, and the Forsaken came out better off than
before the events that led to it.
* A Pack of Pure had been captured by Forsaken and were about to be tortured or executed, but you had
a previous agreement with them; you stuck by your word and arranged for their release, even though they
may still treat you as enemies.

Purity

* Your pack claims an immense area of wilderness. You've managed to keep a lid on any additional
pollution or development for a year, on your own. And there have been some attempts, too.
* You've got a Harmony of 10, and you've held it for two years of play.
* You led a coalition of five packs to chase an Idigam off your lands; it took a week of constant harrying
and barely any sleep to drive the creature over a hundred miles to the sea.

Wisdom

* Learning a great deal of Rituals and Rites.
* Binding an Incarna.
* Discovering the (unknown) Ban of an Incarna and making good use of it.
* Creating a Locus of significant power level (4+).
* Discovering a completely new Host and becoming an expert on them.
