The Wardens

The Wardens of the Gates of Silence (Ennu Mekhar-Thakkan) are a pack of uratha active in the 2000s that claim territory in and under the neighbourhood of Lennox Circle, particularly around the abandoned Dekker Street subway station. The pack was formed after the chaos of the Nights of the Broken Moon by a ghost-haunted Valkyrja seeking to make something of the mess that is Blackmouth, and attracted a handful of other wolves who had lost pack and kin in those harsh nights.

Through the years that followed they have carved out their territory around the strange liminal place that Dekker Street has become, excising the worst of the cancers beneath Lennox and started to bring some balance to the twisted Hisil there. They have also suffered losses, most recently in 2005 when a twisted ghost-magath tore its way out of Shadowlands on Devil's Night and slew two of the pack before it could be driven out of the world.

Now only Morrigan and Jack are left of the first Wardens. New blood fills the pack. First a young Iron Master that Jack recruited to protect her from any lingering violence, then a new cub who swore himself to the Bone Shadows almost as soon as he Changed, and now four nuzusul linked by dark dreams and strange skeins of fate. And with those four came concerns outside their territory, and perhaps it was time to try and mend the old rifts for the better of the whole city.

Totem: The Star-Eyed Watcher (Nirithall-igim)

Nirithall-igim is a strange and distant spirit of liminality and boundaries, capable of great perception but rarely speaking of the manifold sights he has seen. He manifests as slender and androgynous figure that resembles a fantasy artist's interpretation of a Celtic warrior, with twin stars burning in his eye sockets and long night-dark hair full of constellations. He is a distant and aloof figure, even to the pack dedicated to protect his place of power, and limits his manifestations to the immediate surroundings of Dekker Street and the dreams of the Wardens.
