{{Werewolf/Lodge |Spirit/Totem=Heart of the City |Motto= |Lodge Tribe={{anytribe}} |Lodge Auspice=Cahalith |Benefit=Standard of Station |Source=Signs of the Moon |Pages=139 }} In the late 1970s, an African-American Uratha by the name of Jasmine B publicly rejected poetic verse and epic poems as the means by which Cahalith should share their stories. She said, in essence, that the bardic poem was dead, and there was no reason to keep digging up Shakespeare in the hopes he’d start smelling better. To Jasmine, there was a new age of spoken word and rhythm was the only way to live up to the glories of the past. She began a formal war against traditional storytelling. As she followed the roots of ethnic Africans as it grew and changed in the US, she witnessed the birth of hip-hop and rap. Being a Visionary, she could see the potential in hip-hop as it was bound to the heartbeat of the city. She reasoned that, since some Uratha were destined to be children of the cities, it followed that they would need to adapt to the language and culture of the streets. ===Prerequisites=== Streetwise •••, Expression ••• ===Benefits=== Because of their intimate connection to the streets, members of the lodge can purchase Allies: Urban Spirits at half cost.
