Many werewolf packs shape their territory to suit their tastes. Physically, doing so might involve planting trees where more belong or slaughtering humans that detract from the territory’s worth. Changes to the spirit world in a pack’s territory take much longer to effect — with a few exceptions. The Chosen Ground Rite is one. This ritual allows a pack to infuse the spirit reflection of its territory with the kind of Essence that members prefer, influencing the area’s resonance and hopefully attracting specific sorts of spirits while repelling unwanted ones.

Performing the Rite

The ritemaster assumes Urhan form and brushes her nose against the ground in a symbolic imitation of Rooting Boar, then digs up a bit of the earth with her paws. She then shifts to Dalu form and places her palm against the ground, speaking an invocation to Rooting Boar to help the cycles of the world continue. If the land is especially tainted, the ritemaster cuts or bites her hand and lets a bit of her blood drip onto the ground.

The Rite of Churned Earth can be performed any time, but is traditionally enacted at dawn or dusk. A werewolf can perform the rite only once in a 12-hour period.
