Caerns: Places of Power is a sourcebook for Werewolf: The Apocalypse that details fourteen caerns: one for each of the thirteen tribes of the Garou Nation, plus a twisted hive of the Black Spiral Dancers. Caerns: Places of Power also introduces the Kitsune: the werefoxes of Japan.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Land of Longing
- The world is the flesh of Gaia, the Earth Mother. She is sacred to the Garou. Across Her surface are sites where Her power is strong, where the Garou can still connect with the spirit world. In woods, in valleys and on mountains, these sites can still be found. They are the caerns, the ancient places of power.
- Land of Death
- As humanity spreads out across the once virgin earth, the caerns die out, unable to withstand the onslaught of mankind's destruction. Gaia's flesh is torn away. There is still hope, however. Even in the cities, the sacred sites can still be found, kept alive by the Garou. How long will the caerns survive? The Wyrm slithers ever onward, destroying everything in its wake...
- Caerns: Places of Power is a Werewolf sourcebook detailing Garou sacred sites all over the world. It includes:
- Fourteen caerns, from the Wheel of Ptah crossroads in Casablanca to the Black Spiral Dancers' living caern — inside the gut of a giant Thunderwyrm.
- A full-color map of the world's Moon Bridge routes.
- The cunning and dangerous Kitsune werefoxes of Japan.
