Background Restrictions, and starting Willpower and starting Gift list as Glass Walkers. Silicon Sentinels have access to Glass
Walker Gifts, Rites, Talens and Fetishes, and all materials for Glass Walkers, in addition to new materials specifically for

ADDED - Fera cannot join a pack with Garou, even with Tagalong or other gifts that allow partial inclusion.

Page 26, Fera Rules >> Swiping Gifts
1
ADDED - Corax cannot swipe Gifts. Instead, Corax are allowed to learn one Garou Gift per Rank the Corax achieves. This
process follows the same rules for Garou learning Out of Type Gifts. Corax who had already Swiped Gifts can choose to keep
a number of swiped Gifts equal to their Rank as per this rule with only High Notification. Any Gifts exceeding this amount are
considered as having been directly witnessed for the purpose of use with Mynah's Touch, but are lost and fully refunded.

Page 30, Gifts >> General Gift Information
ADDED - Gifts found exclusively in Tribebooks are not available to be learned Out of Tribe/Breed/Auspice. Current Gifts are
not grandfathered, but are instead removed and XP is refunded for their purchase. Only a single Armor/Health Level giving Gift
may give benefits at a time, with that providing the most significant benefit taking precedence.

ADDED – Electroshock: Using this Gift is a contested Physical challenge against each target, retest Science. This cannot be
paired with any other attack.

2
ADDED - Double Tap: As the Basic Black Fury Gift: Flurry of Arrows. This Gift can only be used with Pistols or Heavy
Pistols. The second shot occurs during the same Everyman Action. Trick Shot cannot be used while this Gift is active. This
extra shot does not count against the weapons Rate.

Page 57, Additional Available Garou Rites >> Accord Rites >> Rite of Renunciation
CHANGE - In the first paragraph remove the sentence that says the one affected gains Spirit Notoriety to the Tribe's
Brood. Replace with, "The Garou affected by this Rite will be considered reviled by that Spirit's brood (no mechanics).
In the second paragraph change the reference of Notoriety to the Spirit's Brood to, "yields one point of Spirit Notoriety".

Page 59, Additional Available Garou Rites >> Punishment Rites >> Rite of Silver Cleansing
REMOVED - “Leaving Erebus as one of the Unfortunates requires High Approval. Unless rescued from their fate it is not
possible to leave while the subject still possesses any Wyrm, Weaver, or Wyld taint. Corruption generally drops off at a rate of
1 point per month. All derangements, negative traits, and flaws that can be bought off must be bought off before the subject
can leave.”

Page 60, Garou Rites Errata
ADDED - Rite of Accomplishment: When being performed by a Galliard, the Garou who receives the permanent Renown
award is also granted an additional two temp Honor for following proper tradition by seeking out a tale singer, this temp renown

Pages 68 - 72, Caerns and the Umbra >> Traversing the Umbra1:
CHANGED - Replace section with new section:
TRAVERSING THE UMBRA

Below are the approval restrictions and realm rules for travel in the Umbra. These approvals may be acquired by the
Storyteller running the trip or by the individual players involved. Regional Storytellers may run High Approval realms and
locations without requiring PC approval. National storytellers may run any umbral location without requiring PC approval.
Regional plotkits may allow travel to any High Approval umbral location, and national plotkits to any umbral location, without
requiring PCs or STs seek approval, so long as they remain within the confines of that plotkit.

General approvals:

● Penumbra – Low Approval
● Near Umbra – Low Approval
● 13 Near Umbral Realms – Varies (See below)
● Minor Near Umbral Realms – Low Approval
● Tribal Homelands – High Approval if a rank 4+ member of the tribe is present. Otherwise, Top Approval
● The Membrane (Including Anchorheads) – High Approval

1 Will be in a separate document.
3
● Deep Umbra – Top Approval
● Other Umbral Features:
● Astral (High) Umbra – High Approval
● Dark Umbra – Low Approval
● The Dream Zone – Low Approval
● The Mirror Zone, Tapestry, Null Zone, or other extra-umbral features – Top Approval

The rules for any location not presented below and without sanctioned mechanics are the discretion of the presiding storyteller.

Each realm has “emanations”, as described in W20 Umbra: Velvet Shadow. These emanations have non-spirit stats
(attributes, abilities, backgrounds) and are treated as mundane elements of the realm itself. Gifts that affect only spirits do not
function on emanations.

Below is a list of the status and the rules of each of the 13 Near Umbral Realms. Knowledge of these rules is based on Umbra
Lore, and efforts to disseminate these rules widely will result in the rules changing rapidly. Any major alteration to any Umbral
Realm as a result of a trip (changing the landscape, eliminating features defined in any source book) requires Top Approval.

THE ABYSS – Top Approval

Status: Darkness 9. Nightmaster’s forces are massing in this realm, making the Abyss even more hazardous than normal.

Rules of the Realm: Uses the “Rules of the Abyss” of MET: Book of the Wyrm p. 46. The climbing difficulties listed are
doubled. The difficulty of the mental challenge for looking into the abyss is determined by the presiding ST, but should be no
lower than 10. Gaining ancestors by finding a face in the walls of the abyss is not sanctioned.

THE AETHERIAL REALM – Low Approval

Status: Open. Luna and Helios still harbor grudges against one another over the events of the Umbral Eclipse.

Rules of the Realm: Per W20 p. 329. The difficulty reductions listed apply to static challenges only. Travel to Celestine
Avatars or their domains requires Top Approval.

ARCADIAN GATEWAY – High Approval

Status: Open but under the sway of the Unseelie Courts.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Travel in Arcadia is measured in “leagues”. Garou may travel one league in a day, regardless of the speed at which they
travel. Gifts or powers that increase movement speed by more than double allow the user to travel two leagues in one day.
The number of leagues between locations varies based on the appropriate “drama” of the location, and getting accurate
measures of distance are impossible.

2. Fianna and followers of Stag are considered two traits up on all social challenges.

3. Each day lost in the woods increases the difficulty of a frenzy challenge by 1.

4. If a PC strays from a path, any power to find the path or the path’s destination automatically fails. Only a denizen of the
realm can guide a lost PC back to the path.

5. Time in the Arcadian Gateway is particularly random. A day spent in the gateway can take an hour outside, or it could take
a month – the presiding ST has the final say.

ATROCITY REALM – Low Approval

Status: Open

Rules of the Realm: As written in MET Book of the Wyrm, p.49. The difficulty of finding a specific scene within the atrocity
realm and to resist gaining a derangement after departing is set at the presiding ST’s discretion.
4
BATTLEGROUND – Low Approval

Status: The chaos surrounding the Battlegrounds realm has begun to diminish, and the realm has returned to its original state.
Follow descriptions of the plains of Apocalypse in W20 Umbra: The Velvet Shadow.

Rules of the Realm:

1. The difficulty of frenzy challenges are increased by 2.

2. Creatures possessing rage who engage in the Realm’s battles gain 1 Rage each round.

3. Any items (fetishes, armor, weapons) acquired in the battlegrounds are ephemeral and fade upon returning to the material
realm, or after 1 month in the Umbra outside of the Battlegrounds.

4. No individual may be permanently killed in the Battlegrounds. Anyone killed in the Battleground reforms somewhere in the
Umbra and is down two Gnosis.

5. A character may find a battle they previously participated in on a static gnosis challenge, difficulty 8. Characters may be
able to find other battles with this challenge, but only at ST discretion, and the lack of direct connection to the battle will cause
them to be trapped in the battlegrounds for an extended period of time (ST discretion)

CYBERREALM – Top Approval

Status: Darkness 9. Death or loss of a PC is very likely certain as the threat of the weaver grows.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Weaver spirits are at 150% essence, while wyld spirits are at half essence as long as they remain here.

2. Navigating the Computer Web requires a mental challenge (retest computers - difficulty determined by the ST). Time travels
more quickly in the Computer Web.

3. Entering the Micro Level from the Computer Web requires a WP challenge, difficulty 7 (no retest). Failure means they have
alerted the agents of the Spider Queen to their presence.

4. A character in the Computer Web of the Micro Level can alter their appearance by spending a Gnosis and making a Social
Challenge, difficulty 10 (retest Computers). They cannot change their size by more than 50%. Shifting forms removes the
false appearance.

EREBUS – High Approval

Status: Darkness 10. Charyss is angered by the foolishness of the Garou and has made it clear that anyone entering Erebus
will be thrown into the lake of silver. Any PC travelling to Erebus will be retired; the rules are presented in case the PC wishes
to interact with the realm prior to retirement.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Any Garou entering Erebus will be granted passage by Cerberus, but will be expected to enter the lake. The Brood will not
give them other options. Non-garou are forbidden entrance, and cannot enter Erebus by any means. Any PC entering the
lake is retired.

2. Garou in Erebus regenerate aggravated damage as if it were lethal damage. No one can drown in Erebus

3. Garou in the rivers of silver (“Unfortunates”) take one level of aggravated damage each turn regardless of form

4. Garou entering Erebus cannot leave the realm.

FLUX – High Approval
5
Status: Open.

Rules of the Realm:

1. The landscape and composition of the Realm constantly changes; although not frequently lethal, the ST is encouraged to
change the nature of the terrain drastically, turning mountains into lakes, thunderstorms into green skies, or even more bizarre
phenomenon.

2. Changing forms requires no challenge; however, all shifters change forms constantly. The level of Primal Urge indicates
how often the PC shifts forms: Characters with no primal urge shift at random once a round. Characters with 1-3 primal urge
shift at random once every 3 rounds. Characters with 4-5 primal urge shift once every 5 rounds, and may choose the form
they shift to.

3. Shapeshifters can manipulate the environment by spending a Gnosis and making a social challenge (retest Enigmas) at a
difficulty determined by the presiding ST. The changes last one scene.

4. No form of binding functions in flux: blood bonds, uses of powers that induce mind control, and other forms of supernatural
compulsion are shattered. Spirits are freed from talens and fetishes, and mundane forms of “binding” (addiction, etc) are
temporarily eased.

5. Characters capable of frenzy must test for frenzy at the beginning of each scene (or once per hour). Characters who frenzy
and would succumb to thrall do not, but instead gain a permanent Derangement.

6. Shifters may spend 3 Gnosis and make a Social challenge difficulty 18 (retest primal urge) to drastically change their form
while in Flux. They may gain any specified benefits or lose any detriments at the discretion of the ST, but these changes last
until the character leaves Flux.

LEGENDARY REALM – High Approval

Status: Open.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Time in the legendary realm moves much more quickly than earth. A day on earth could last months in the Legendary
Realm, and time spent here does not cause disconnection from the material world.

2. No spirit may be permanently destroyed within the Legendary Realm.

3. Only Totem spirits and spirits bound into Fetishes and Talens may enter the Legendary Realm. Other spirits may only enter
at ST discretion (and should seldom be successful).

4. All Garou in the Legendary Realm gain three dots of ancestors as long as they remain in the Realm, including those tribes
who would not normally have access to them. This can raise the background rating up to 8. Silent Striders may only gain up
to a maximum background rating of 2.

5. Leaving the realm requires a “Hero’s Journey”, with a clear guardian to overcome and a spiritual lesson to master.

MALFEAS – Top Approval

Status: Darkness 9. The flavor and description of Malfeas relies on W20 Book of the Wyrm. It is very easy to get to Malfeas.
It is nigh impossible to leave intact.

Rules of the Realm:

1. No untainted individual may leave Malfeas without permission from an agent of the Wyrm. Actually finding an exit, however,
may still be required.

2. Anyone attempting to Sense Wyrm must succeed in a willpower test, difficulty 9, or go insane (PC retirement).
6
3. Any attempt to use a Gaian rite instantly fails, and attracts the attention of the agents of the Wyrm.

4. Expenditures required to heal any damage are doubled (ex. activating mother’s touch requires 2 Gnosis – each health level
requires two mental traits be spent). All wounds take twice as long to heal in Malfeas.

PANGAEA – Low Approval

Status: Open.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Challenges retested with Primal Urge are up 2 traits.

2. Individuals with Gnosis Pools gain one Gnosis each dawn.

3. All Garou are considered part of the same tribe and lose any tribe-specific markings as long as they remain in Pangaea
(Pure Breed still applies). Garou in Pangaea have difficulty remembering their own tribe or the tribes of others. Other fera lose
any tribal distinctions (if applicable) and appear as primitive versions of their breed (Sabre-toothed tigers, etc).

4. Any shifter with an intermediate form between Crinos and Animal Form (Lupus, Feline, etc) cannot take the animal form,
only the Hispo equivalent.

5. Anyone in Pangaea doubles their natural healing rates while in the realm. This has no effect on magical forms of healing.

6. Silver is rare in the realm, and confers no special benefits or penalties aside from dealing aggravated damage to shifters.

7. Metis are cured of their deformities for as long as they stay in Pangaea.

SCAR – High Approval

Status: Open.

Rules of the Realm: As MET Book of the Wyrm, p. 52. The rule to find a specific factory within Scar is not used.

SUMMER COUNTRY – Top Approval (by invite only)

Status: Nearly impossible to find. National recommendation is required to find this realm.

Rules of the Realm: As W20 p. 332-333

WOLFHOME – Low Approval

Status: Open.

Rules of the Realm:

1. Any shapeshifter in Wolfhome instantly takes animal form and cannot shift out. Non-shapeshifters cannot enter Wolfhome
without High Approval, and specific mechanics/rules for their experience must be defined prior to approval

2. Shifters in Wolfhome think in more animalistic terms. They cannot understand any written language, and must engage in a
mental challenge (retest Linguistics) to understand human speech, with a difficulty varying between 6 (for fairly simple
concepts) to 20 (for highly abstract ideas).

3. All gifts and powers are deactivated on entering Wolfhome. Activating any gift requires, in addition to the normal
requirements, a Gnosis expenditure plus a willpower challenge, difficulty 5 + the level of the gift. All gifts and powers last a
maximum of three rounds, regardless of listed durations.

7
4. Interacting with any human tool requires a mental challenge; retest using an appropriate skill based on the object. Turning
on a computer would require Computers, while turning on a car might require Drive.

5. Spirits not native to Wolfhome and not bound into a fetish or talen immediately become dormant while in Wolfhome. No
Fetish or Talen may be activated while in Wolfhome.

6. The only way to leave Wolfhome is to come to a true understanding of one’s animal side, as determined by the ST. Using
human tools or struggling to understand human language makes this process more difficult, but may be necessary for survival.

Page 73, Spirits and Non-Theurge Garou
CHANGED - Replace bullet point 7 with, “If you cannot learn Spirit Speech in Tribe/Breed/Auspice, Fetishes default to High
Approval (excepting those that are Top). This applies to the Garou actually casting the rite to create the Fetish.”

Page 75, Building Spirits >> Power
CHANGED - Replace Spirits has renown against other Spirits which functions as Spirit Affinity with, "The Spirit is renowned
among other Spirits and is considered to have two Bonus Traits on Social Challenges with them. This may not be purchased
more times than the Spirit's Rank.

Pages 76, Spirit Charms >> General Charms
ADDED - The following Charms are not available for Pack Totems or Personal Totems: All Wyrm Charms

CHANGED - The Following Charms are removed from play:
Bloodsucking
Clone
Consumption
Craving
Drain
Inner Pain
Break Reality
Solidify Reality
Quit Reality
Totems that had any of these Charms should be re-written at Low Approval.

Starting on Page 76, Spirit Charm Edits
ADDED - Armor: Can only be applied to the Spirit with the Charm.

CHANGED - Call for Aid: Remove the reference to Affinity. Replace with, "...can call for the aid of Spirits sharing its Brood...."

CHANGED - Open Moonbridge: Can be used by a Spirit without expending Essence if its destination is a Gaian Pathstone.
For other locations the Charm costs 10 Essence and Storytellers have leave to disallow Moonbridge travel for reasons at their
discretion.

ADDED - Prophecy: An ST can deny or limit the functionality of this Charm as they see fit.

CHANGED - Tech Sense: Moved to Uncommon Charms list.

CHANGED - Incite Frenzy: By besting the target in a Rage versus Willpower challenge, the Spirit causes the target to enter
Rage Frenzy. Victims must test for Thrall as per normal. When determining if a Garou afflicted by this Gift will attack her
packmates, compare the Rage of the Spirit to the Gnosis of the Garou. If the Gnosis of the Garou is lower than the Rage of
the Spirit, packmates may be targeted during this Frenzy.

Pages 81 - 82, Spirit Notoriety and Affinity
CHANGED - Replace with:
Notoriety returns to the format utilized in LotW:R, page 235.

Background: Spirit Affinity (1 - 5):
Spirit Affinity represents a general affinity with the Gaian denizens of the Umbra. For each level of Spirit Affinity a Garou
possesses, he receives a +1 in dealings with Spirits. Additionally, for each level of Spirit Affinity possessed, a Garou may
select one Spirit type (specific spirit, not Brood) to specialize in, conferring an additional +1 on social challenges with such
8
Spirits. Should chronicle or character events change the association with that spirit, the specialization may be changed with
Low approval.

Approval Levels:
1-2: Low
3-4: High
5: Reserved for National Use/Award
Spirit Affinity Specialization: Any Celestines: Top

Conversion: Your level of Spirit Affinity is equal to the level of your highest current affinity. This approval is grandfathered.
Spirit Affinity costs experience points to purchase as per backgrounds.

Page 82, Totems
CHANGED - Bullet point two: Remove, "...or hold at least Spirit Affinity x3 with that Totem's spirit brood, which qualifies the
pack to follow that Totem at Low Approval."

ADDED - Attribute Traits from the same category (Physical, Social, Mental), individual Abilities, and individual Tempers from
Totems do not stack with Attribute Traits, individual Abilities, and individual Tempers granted from Pack Totems. This is true
regardless of how a character is gaining the benefit from an additional Totem (Personal Totem, Tagalong, etc.). The character
must pick which Totem's Attribute Traits and Bonus Traits he is going to use. Once selected this does not change.

CHANGED - Remove sentence: "In order to obtain a Personal Totem the Garou must have at least Spirit Affinity 4 with the
Brood that the spirit is a member of.”

Starting on page 83, Alphabetical Listing of Totems
CHANGED - American Dream: This is now considered a Fianna Totem as well as a Bone Gnawer Totem.

ADDED - City Father/Mother (Totem of Wisdom):
Background Cost: 7

Traits: A pack forming under this totem must define which City Father/Mother they are forming under (for example, City Father
of Detroit). A City Father Pack can interact with city spirits of the city their totem is attached to as though they had Attunement
(Urban version). Additionally, the city warns them of impending danger. +3 Streetwise, 1 Temp Wisdom Renown for Glass
Walkers.

Ban: City Fathers and mothers often request favors, small or large, of his children to aid the city as a whole. Frequently Garou
devoted to the city experience the emotions of their totem, becoming light-headed during citywide celebrations or suffering
nose-bleeds in major disasters.

CHANGED - General Lee: remove, "(see Spirit Notoriety)" from the end.

ADDED - Hyperion (Top Approval):
Background Cost: 10 Totem of Respect

Traits: Each pack member gets five additional Willpower Traits per month. These Traits do not count toward the comparison of
ties and overbids. In addition, each pack member (of Rank to do so) may use the Intermediate Corax Gift: Helios’
Child. Mokolè and Corax, the other children of Helios, respect Hyperion’s children and will cooperate with them as necessary.

Ban: Children of Hyperion must protect the other shapeshifters left on earth, particularly the Mokolè and Corax. In addition,
followers of Hyperion must actively pursue and destroy Nightmaster and his minions.

ADDED - I’wai the Crocodile (Top Approval) :
Background Cost: 7 Totem of War
I'wai the Crocodile is an old and patient Totem of War. He prefers to lie in wait for his prey rather than exert himself in a chase.
I'wai is swift in the kill, holding his prey underwater with his strong jaws until it drowns.

Traits: I'wai has a tough hide, and his Children gain an additional Healthy health level, Primal Urge x3, and the physical trait
Resilient. Mokole may be particularly well disposed towards I'wai's followers. I’wai is considered a Bone Gnawer totem.

9
Ban: As well as being forbidden to wear crocodile skin, I'wai's Children must always help those people seeking revenge
against a foe.

ADDED - Phoebe (Top Approval):
Background Cost: 7 Totem of Respect

Traits: Each pack member gains Enigmas x3 and Primal-Urge x2. Each pack member of the Pack (of Rank to do so) can use
the Intermediate Ragabash Gift: Open Moon Bridge.

Bans: Children of Phoebe are pledged to defend moon bridges and moon paths from the predations of the Wyrm.

CHANGED - Sphinx-of-Wisdom: Replace with, "This is also a Silent Strider Totem."

Page 89, Sanctioned Talens and Fetishes >> Fetishes >> A
ADDED - Assassin's Klaive (Shadow Lord): These weapons can either be made out of silver or bone (as written). If made of
bone it cannot be used in Klaviskar.

Page 92, Sanctioned Talens and Fetishes >> Fetishes >> G
CHANGED - Goibhniu's Hammer: Removed, "...and earns one Spirit Notoriety from the angered spirit within the Fetish."

Page 98, Custom Fetish Rules >> Overview
CHANGED - Remove bullet points 7 - 11.

Pages 103 - 115, Lores
ADDED - A Galliard is treated as having Tribal Lore for their own Tribe and Garou Lore at one higher level.

CHANGED - Change approval levels to:
Unique Lore (Anything not covered below): 1-5 Top

Remove ALL Tribe lores, replace with:

Tribe Lore
All tribal lores follow this general format of knowledge. For example, Fianna Lore x3 would give you a passing familiarity with
the entire contents of the Fianna Tribebook.

Tribe Lore 1
● You are familiar with all tribal descriptions in Laws of the Wyld: Revised and the W20 Core Rulebook.
● You are familiar with all low approval/non “secret” camps in your tribe.
● You are familiar with universal tribal customs, holidays, naming conventions, and legends (from the tribebooks)
● You know the names, advantages, and bans of the spirits within the tribe’s brood.
● You know of all sanctioned basic tribal gifts and rites from all sources.
● You can spend a level of lore to find any local meeting areas or territories for the tribe which are open to all members of that
tribe.

Tribe Lore 2
● You are familiar with the major history, myths, and legends of the tribe as described in the tribebook
10
