Rank 4 Croatan Gift
Since Turtle went into his coma-like sleep, many secrets of earth powers once known are now forgotten — such as the Umbral tunnels beneath the Umbrascape. The Croatan did not always rely on Luna’s moon paths when traveling the Umbra. This Gift allowed them to use the secret tunnels under the earth, known to many earth-burrowing spirits and totems, such as Mole, Badger and Groundhog (who taught them the Gift). In such a way, the Croatan could travel long distances in the safety of the Umbral underground.
This Gift is all but lost to werewolves in the 20th century, but this is almost a blessing; in the modern era, Ratkin occupy many of these tunnels, making them hostile territory for any Garou.
System: The player spends one Gnosis point; the Garou is made aware of the nearest entrance into one of these tunnels. Such an entrance may not be close at hand; the werewolf might have to go on a day’s journey just to reach the nearest opening, depending on the local population of burrowing spirits. Once inside the tunnel, he can reach his destination safely. When he gets to a multiple branching tunnel, he’ll know the proper way — otherwise one could get lost for years!
In all other respects, this Gift is much like traveling a moon path, save that the potentially hostile encounters that may be found along the way take the form of Ratkin and other subterranean denizens, rather than spirits.
