Shifter/Gaining Rank

A shifter gains rank after he or she has fulfilled the requirements for the next level. Different breeds accomplish this in different ways.

• Garou challenge a Garou of higher rank. If they succeed, they attain the new level.
• Bastet gain their new rank via a rite held at a taghairm, or demand an increase in rank from the spirits themselves.
• Corax essentially gain rank by acclaim; when they've accumulated enough renown and enough stories of their exploits have made it around the grapevine, they simply find themselves having a higher branch in the tree reserved for them at parliament and otherwise being treated as though their rank has increased.
• Ananasi gain rank by the grace of their Queen; when they've accumulated the appropriate renown, they simply are the next rank, as plainly visible to themselves and all other Ananasi.
• Gurahl gain rank by recounting their deeds to their Elders at a Council and being acknowledged as their new rank.
