When the Great White Wolf died to save gaia, he learned her secrts. The nature of the actual 'secret of gaia' is obscure but few question the the Silver Fangs have a deep and ancient connection with the Earth Mother. This gift is a powerful aspect of this relationship. The Garou who uses this gift becomes completely aware of her immediate vicinity in vivid detail. The Fang is aware of the area's topography, wildlife and the local spirit population. The Silver Fang also becomes aware of Gaia's condition in the area, but in a general sense - Gaia feels pained, trapped, whatever. An avatar of Gaia teaches this gift, but only to the worthy. Silver Fangs of any auspice may learn it, but is most common among theurges of the House Wise Heart.
System
The Secret of Gaia is a more powerful version of the Theurge Gifts Spirit Speech and Pulse of the Invisible. The player rolls Gnosis versus 7 and spends one point of gnosis to activate the gft. The Garou becomes preternaturally aware of a one mile radius for each success, almost become part of it. The Garou can automatically see into the penumbra and all perception rolls are at a -3 difficulty. Further, all local nom-wyrm spirits are well-disposed toward the char granting +2 to all social rolls involving them. Finally one extra dice is added to all non-combat rolls while the garou is in a higher state bestowed by the gift. The gift lasts one hour per permament gnosis the garou possesses. If the player botches the roll, the char becomes acutely aware of Gaia's agonies and succumbs to the severe pangs of Harano for a scene.
