Kali-matutsi was born from a thousand storm-spirits uniting into one. It died — or rather, it diminished — when its separate parts began to break off over time. What remains now serves as the totem for one of the tribe’s most secretive lodges.
The secret at the heart of the lodge is found within a vast underground cavern beneath Mount Konocti in California. Here is the Cave of the Eyeless, where Shadow and physical world meet as one. Pomo legend speaks of such a place, as yet undiscovered by modern day archaeologists. After a long drought ending in 1818, Pomo wanderers found a great lake under the mountain where eyeless fish swam in the blackness. This was a place where the Gauntlet was so thin it eventually wore away, and the eyeless creatures lurking down there, blind eels and fish splashing in the water, were darkness-spirits given physical form.
Prerequisites
Member of the Storm Lord tribe; knowledge of at least five rites.
Benefits
Characters are shown to create a Gusuku Headdress, as appropriate for their auspice, and they are let into the secrets kept by the lodge. They also learn how to perform the extremely rare Rite of the Ruined Tongue — a secret many other lodges would kill for.
