Ah right.
I'm interested in the "Werewolf" series, mainly for background information for my "Fox amongst Men" fic.
Things like, how they announce themselves when entering a new territory (I think they call it "The Howl"), and so on.
Usually they give a howl including such information as their name, pack, tribe, auspice, breed (not in nWOD obviously), rank and any particularly renowned deeds - the sort of thing that the locals will want to know when they decide if they should run the newcomer off.
Usually one or more locals will howl back a response, ranging from 'piss off' to pimping out their kinfolk. Shortly after, the local leaders or someone they send will check out the new arrival, make sure that they are what they purport to be (a number of Gifts allow this). This will also be when any ground rules are laid down such as local spirit bans. Someone will also try tracing their history to an extent.
If the new arrival checks out then there will likely be a mandatory invitation to the next local Moot so that everyone can meet him and figure out where he fits in the pecking order. Expect to be pushed around a bit and to get points for pushing back.
