Level One Nuwisha Gift

Description

This gift was devolped (some say refined ) by the Lartan sect of the Nuwisha. It is relatively the same as the Wolf in Sheep s Clothing third level Nuwisha gift. After the Council of the Coyote held by the Nuwisha at the end of the War of Rage to decide how to survive it, those wishing to stay on this Realm prayed to the trickster totem, and the chameleon totem for help. It came in this form. During the first change of a Lartan Nuwisha, one undergoes strange dreams. This is not uncommon to all shape shifters, but the Lartan have a different one. In their dream, there is a large pack of wolves, all who look and smell and act exactly the same way. Running with the wolves is a large coyote. How the Lartan pictures the wolves in his dreams is what the alternate form utilized by this gift will look like. It must be some kind of garou wolf, and the specific breed of wolf is usally usually the same for each Lartan Culture. This means that most Acropoli Lartans will dream of a garou looking like Garou from the Bone Gnawer or Glass Walker tribes, for Cogs a Children of Gaia Garou, a Cotol as a Wendigo or Uktena, and Scarlet Thorns appear as Red Talons. Ennoya usally usually appear as Silent Striders, Silver Fangs, Shadow Lords or Glass Walkers. The basic appearance is the same for all wolven forms (crinos, hispo and lupis). All Lartan Nuwisha must purchase this gift as one of their starting gifts, even the Ennoya. It is something they are born with, courtesy of the Coyote and Chameleon totem. Occasionally , a Lartan will activate the gift and never turn it off, forgetting they are Nuwisha and thinking themselves garou. These are the Tailless Puppies.
