Territories are special places that packs control and benefit from. They are similar to Caerns, though they are not as spiritual in nature and not as well hidden. Territories are played during the Equip/Ally Phase, and claiming a Territory is considered an action. Only one of a specific Territory may be in play at any time, although a player may have any number of Territories in play at any point.
Using the special ability of a Territory is not considered an action, and may be done at any time unless otherwise specified.
As an alpha action, a character may choose to attack another pack's Territory. This may only be done during the Combat Phase, and may not be done as a Sneak Attack or other non-alpha action. That pack's alpha may choose to defend the Territory, which does not count as his alpha action. Either side may use pack tactics. If the attacker kills the defender, or the defender escapes from combat, the Territory is destroyed and discarded. A Territory is likewise destroyed if the pack controlling it does not choose to defend it, or if they have no alpha.
A Fetish which requires a member of a specific tribe may only be used by members of that tribe. You may not equip the appropriate tribe member and then pass the Fetish on to a packmate of a different tribe.
Certain characters have Rivalries with other characters. A character will never be in the same pack as one with which he has a Rivalry. If two characters with Rivalry somehow end up in the same pack, randomly choose one and discard him. If a character is alpha, and his rival is also alpha, the rival must be the target of the character's alpha action attack.
Several characters in Legacy of the Tribes have returned from previous appearances in Rage. These characters may not be in the same pack as one of their earlier incarnations. For example, Renown 8 Mari Cabrah may not be in the same pack as Renown 6 Mari Cabrah. Why? Because they're both Mari Cabrah! Obviously, Lord Albrecht may not be in the same pack as King Albrecht, either!
The Silver Pack is elected at the grandest of Garou moots, and they are a representation of the first pack. Usually Silver Packs number between five and 10 members, but there is always at least one member of each auspice. Characters who are members of the Silver Pack will never attack another member of the Silver Pack.
