Prophecy

Similar to the Rite of Weeping for a Vision, this rite allows a Red Talon to ask Gaia for a glimpse of things to come. Talons of all auspices learn this rite, but the Theurges are normally the only ones who use it more than once. The Red Talon must go somewhere that she will not be disturbed. She must then find something that holds her attention; the movements of clouds in the sky, a parade of ants marching to their home, the swirling of running water - any of these will do. The supplicant simply allows her mind to unfocus and waits for the vision from Gaia. The vision this granted may be helpful and might well grant the Red Talon some insight into an immediate problem. However, Red Talon “history” is fraught with tales of Talons who have foreseen events such as nuclear blasts, the War of Rage, the War of Tears, and battles that might or might not be the Apocalypse itself - and simply haven't been able to interpret the visions in time. While nearly every Master of the Rite at a Red Talon caern knows the Rite of Prophecy, they rarely use it. To know the truth, but not what the trith means is more painful than most Garou can bear.

System

The player rolls Willpower (difficulty 7) to focus the character's attention, and then rolls Wits + Rituals (difficulty 7) to begin the vision. The vision is left entirely in the Storyteller's hands, but it is recommended that the more Pure Breed the character possesses, the more likely she will see a vision pertaining to the tribe (or the Garou Nation) as a whole rather than her or her pack.
