Cradle Mountain Caern

The Cradle Mountain Caern is a Uktena caern located in Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.^[1]

Overview

Before the death of the Bunyip, this was a powerful, Level Five caern. After the War of Tears the caern was administered by the Black Furies, although they never managed to discover its secrets. The Black Furies held the caern only a short while before the Shadow Lords attacked and drove them from Tasmania. This bloody, unprovoked attack was integral in convincing many Garou of the necessity for the proposed Jindabyne Council. The Shadow Lords managed to reopen the caern 50 years ago, but only at its current level. The Black Furies claim that this proves the Shadow Lords unfit guardians.

Cradle Mountain overlooks numerous alpine lakes in Tasmania's central highlands, and is a place of breathtaking, savage beauty. Even in summer, severe storms can suddenly envelop the area, discouraging hikers and bushwalkers. The caern stands atop the mountain's wind-swept peak, and is often obscured by clouds. Within the bawn of the sept, the Shadow Lords maintain a small wolf pack, imported from Russia, with which to breed.
