The Tremulous Howl is a werewolf’s cry for aid at a time when all other options are forfeit. The Tremulous Howl is no little thing for a fully grown werewolf to evoke. A ritemaster who performs this rite can be certain that those who hear it will remember her and the call for help. It admits weakness and may bring a degree of shame on the werewolf, her pack and, sometimes, her tribe. Those who respond will always know (or believe) they saved her, and those who hear of the event will become uncertain that she can adequately perform her duties. Those who desire to accumulate Glory Renown will think twice before allowing this howl to be performed. Still, it requires a certain knowledge of self to know that one needs help. Using this rite when hope is truly lost and through no fault of one’s own can be seen as an act of Wisdom.
Performing the Rite
This ritual can be performed in moments. The ritualist need do no more than nick her throat enough to draw a trickle of blood, then throw her arms and legs wide to reveal her vulnerable belly. Then, she howls.
