No matter how much is written in the book, there will always be three empty pages.Īctivating the Book of Rytolthoka initially seems to do nothing. Once opened, the book is filled with writings in the same runic language that fill every page except the last three. Upon its surface are eight runes that no Garou can understand but which mean “Knowledge,” “God,” “Disease,” “Pain,” “Shame,” “Love,” “Darkness,” and “Soul,” written in a counterclockwise circle in that order. The Fetish: The Book of Rytolthoka is massive, at least four inches thick and bound in thick black cowhide leather. All dread the prospect of the Black Spiral Dancers finding it once more. Since then, the Book has lain silent and unfound. When the sept knew he finally must be killed, four packs died to bring him down. He became possessed and could not stop writing, and his mind grew poisoned. And in the Wild West, a Fianna Ahroun by the name of Seaghdh Road-of-Claws protected his sept from overwhelming forces by daring to read the Book - and write in it. That this tribe, who puts more stock in such human history than any other, still shakes at this tale makes many Garou pale indeed. Another legend comes from the Glass Walkers, who state that the book found Rome and for two weeks the city did naught but kill, rape and eat each other, and yet this tale has never found the history books. There are Get of Fenris who swear the truth of an ancient legend that saw the book arise in the hands of a Black Spiral sept, and two hundred of the Fenrir, half of them werewolves and half Kin, died to rid the book from their hands. Perhaps because nothing so truly evil can ever stay dormant, or perhaps because the Wyrm himself directly intervened, the Book returned again and again. Rytolthoka had become a black cancer upon the world, spreading ever onwards and burning everything it touched into ash and tar. And pack after pack followed to find the last, and no word came until one, finally, showed more prudence than courage and returned with the truth of what had happened. When a Garou pack finally caught up to him, they saw him sitting cross-legged on a three-meter high pile of dead bodies, both animal and human. He led this army of insects, cats, wolves, horses and other animals to a large settlement of humans, and unleashed them upon the settlement as he in turn entered and butchered, tortured, and raped all within it. Every animal he saw, he gazed upon and it followed him with death in its eyes and the taste for blood on its tongue. According to legend, he one day renounced his life, went Ronin and wandered the wastelands. Wypertilnt, a Black Spiral Dancer Galliard, wrote the first page of the book. Madness has a way of leading to genius, and so it is unsurprising that the madness that infests the Black Spiral Dancers eventually yielded something of tremendous horror. The Legend: There are very few times that the Garou are glad that a fetish is lost, but this book whose name is rarely dared spoken (at least, by the Garou,) is one of them. The sword is usable only once per opponent per scene. The number of successes is the amount of Gnosis drained. Roll the sword's Gnosis versus the target's (only after a successful hit that does at least one Health Level after soaking). While it does provide one extra die in melee, it also allows its wielder to siphon Gnosis from its targets the wielder may then use it himself. It is almost exactly like the Silver Sword, except for the powers it grants. The Banesword is a beautifully crafted sword used by the Black Spiral Dancers.
