Gaia's Howl is a phenomenon befalling all Garou since the onset of the Era of Apocalypse. Gaia has grown silent since the end of the world began, and all that remains of her already-distant messages to her children is the Howl.
Overview[]
Where once the Umbra was a space for Garou to commune with the Earth Mother, that communication has now been disrupted by Gaia’s Howl, a multisensory expression of her pain that’s most acutely discernible when a Garou travels to the Umbra. Whether experienced as a literal howl, a dissonant chord, a painful frisson physically felt while traversing the Gauntlet, intruding visions of Gaia in pain, or an alarming burst of taste or smell, Gaia lets her champions know that they have little time left.
Whether the Howl is a cry for aid or a death rattle, it certainly does nothing to assure the Garou of Gaia's security.
