Legendary Fetishes are a type of either famous or infamous fetish or talisman that one can set a chronicle about in finding, creating or accidentally coming across. Most legendary fetishes are Level 6, above Level 6 or have no Levels and are described as such.

Overview[]

Many young Garou make the mistake of thinking that legendary fetishes are purely a line drawn in the sand by the elders. This grand klaive is a very impressive fetish, but not quite powerful enough to be legendary, while that one over there edges over the line. The underlying assumption is what separates normal fetishes from legendary fetishes is simple power. They're still essentially the same type of thing, after all.

These young Garou are very, very mistaken. Garou elders don't classify fetishes as legendary, they recognize legendary fetishes for what they are. Fetishes made by Garou in the "normal" ways all adhere by some basic rules. Each one is an object bound with a spirit that does one specific thing. Each is created by an individual (Garou or Fera) that designs and works upon the fetish. While a fetish may rebel and become cursed, it generally obeys the commands of the person who owns and is attuned to it.

By contrast, there are no consistent laws of preconceptions that apply evenly to any two different legendary fetishes. One will be made by design, but the next just seems to happen more or less by accident. The first will do a single thing, but the next has an array of well-defined tricks built into it, and the one after that just seems to do whatever the hell it likes. Most are still the products of a spirit joining with an object, but in a few cases the spirit decides to become an object. And while one will be mute and obedient as a klaive, the second will demonstrate a clear personality and act more as a partner to its "owner" than a tool.

In short, legendary fetishes are the cases that the Garou (or Fera) cannot solve. They are what happens when the standard logic of fetishes breaks down and becomes something other. They are things that could shape the destiny of the entire Garou Nation, if not the Apocalypse. They are not to be used lightly.
