War may be rare for the Forsaken, but combat is a foregone conclusion. This rite is an old one, said to be created by Father Wolf after he first ran with the pack of his children. Before entering battle, a pack’s ritemaster may use this ritual to bless them all with long life and fortune in war. Then, at the ritual’s climax, the entire pack runs into the fray with confidence and flair, relatively certain that the spirits of their ancestors are watching over them.
Performing the Rite
Wealth of Heroes’ Health is quieter than most rites, and faster, probably because it was designed to be activated in the short, tense minutes before an impending battle or ambush. The ritemaster arranges his packmates around him in an evenly-spaced circle and goes from one to the next, giving each a token of the pack and taking from each a token of the individual. He concludes it with a few words in the First Tongue thanking the ancestors for their protection.
