What is a Moot?

From the Corebook: "Werewolves gather regularly in moots, events that serve a variety of social, political and religious functions. These gathering are part of what makes them Garou, communal creatures dedicated to common causes and sacred responsibilities. Usually, moots are convened every full moon, although a sept may call smaller gatherings as circumstances warrant. For cliath, these gatherings are vital. When a pack returns from one of its adventures, one among them should tell the events that occurred at the next moot. The various werewolves in the pack can then earn renown. By contrast, Garou who avoid moots regularly are viewed with suspicion, often because of their unwillingness to aid their own kind.

Moots are always held at caerns, and powerful spirits are often summoned as part of the proceedings. Theurges perform great rites, Philodox attend to protocol and the "business" aspects of the gathering, Galliards organize the social and storytelling events, and Ahroun see to the defense of the assembly. Werewolves debate policies, discuss plans, send heroes off to perform great tasks, celebrate heroes who have returned triumphant and revile criminals who violate the Litany. Matters are handled with decorum and weighed by the sept as a whole. When matters become too grim, Ragabash satirize foolish decisions, jape at pretentious elders and taunt those who take themselves far too seriously. The most powerful moon bridges are opened during this time. Most importantly, the spiritual energy expended keeps the caern alive, for as the Garou prosper, so do the sacred sites they attend."


The Moot is an event that should not be missed, for the good of the Nation, the sept, and the caern. There is a set script ahead of time designed to hit all that the Moot's are designed to accomplish, as well as rally the troops to build up their energy to recharge the caern with Gnosis. It follow this order:

1. The Fool - Played by a Ragabash
2. The Opening Howl
3. The Inner Sky
4. Cracking the Bone
5. Stories and Songs
6. The Revel

Each part focuses on an auspice and plays an important role.


For City of Hope Mush - Gaian Garou Sphere - we are holding the monthly Moot off camera, bimonthly, on +bboard 79. Each
