 +
Queen Ananasa marks a pattern upon the skin of her subjects, and this pattern, visible in all forms like the markings of a red-back spider, reveals the rank of the werespider. 
 +
* For Tenere werespiders it resembles very fine spider-webs that join together, with the number of anchoring strands revealing rank. 
 +
* For Hatar the patterns resemble slithering snakes akin to Celtic knotwork. 
 +
* For Kumoti it looks like lightning bolts sparking across each other.

The Ananasi do not truly let their Renown lead them, they are all judged by Queen Ananasa, not each other.  Each category correlates directly to the aspect of the Triat that the Ananasa follow; Cuning - Wyrm, Obedience - Weaver, Wisdom - Wyld.  They follow every aspect at least to a degree, to gain a better understanding of the other aspects.

===Cunning===
 +
To gain Cunning renown, a werespider has to perform acts of resourcefulnes and cleverness.
 +
 
 +
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%; padding-right: 25px" |
 +
===Obedience===
 +
To advance in Obedience the werespiders have to follow the ways and laws of Ananasa, and to follow their aspects of the Triat.
 +
 
 +
| style="vertical-align: top; width: 30%; padding-right: 25px" |
 +
===Wisdom===
 +
For Wisdom renown, demonstrations of good judgment and intuition (in the eyes of other Ananasi, of course) are required.

  • A Guide to submitting Renown Requests.
  • A Renown FAQ if you have questions about the system
  • A Cheatsheet for creating a Ananasi

Renown

Queen Ananasa marks a pattern upon the skin of her subjects, and this pattern, visible in all forms like the markings of a red-back spider, reveals the rank of the werespider.

  • For Tenere werespiders it resembles very fine spider-webs that join together, with the number of anchoring strands revealing rank.
  • For Hatar the patterns resemble slithering snakes akin to Celtic knotwork.
  • For Kumoti it looks like lightning bolts sparking across each other.

Categories

Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pg#167

The Ananasi do not truly let their Renown lead them, they are all judged by Queen Ananasa, not each other. Each category correlates directly to the aspect of the Triat that the Ananasa follow; Cuning - Wyrm, Obedience - Weaver, Wisdom - Wyld. They follow every aspect at least to a degree, to gain a better understanding of the other aspects.

Cunning

To gain Cunning renown, a werespider has to perform acts of resourcefulnes and cleverness.

Obedience

To advance in Obedience the werespiders have to follow the ways and laws of Ananasa, and to follow their aspects of the Triat.

Wisdom

For Wisdom renown, demonstrations of good judgment and intuition (in the eyes of other Ananasi, of course) are required.

Rank Requirements

Tenere (Weaver)

Rank Cunning Obedience Wisdom
1 3
2 1 5 1
3 3 7 4
4 4 9 6
5 6 10 7

Hatar (Wyrm)

Rank Cunning Obedience Wisdom

Kumoti (Wyld)

Rank Cunning Obedience Wisdom
1 3
2 1 1 5
3 4 3 7
4 6 4 9
5 7 6 10


If a player is approved at Rank 0, goes through their Ananasi Education 101 (has read the Breedbook), is assigned their Faction and Aspect and gains the renown to reach Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their Aspect/Faction.

  • These gifts don't cost XP.

Sample Renown Awards

Note: These are not uniformly objective. They may be rejected/reduced/increased based on circumstances.

Note: These are not exhaustive. If something doesn't seem to fit here, or isn't found in this list, but still serves one of these types and the Ananasi's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.

  • Awards given once per combat, not per enemy

The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:

  • These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists found in Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pgs.#170-173

Items in Black are positive renown awards.

Items in Red are negative renown penalties
