Jupiter (WOD)

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and the location of an ongoing battle among four factions of Mages. It is also linked to the Shade Realm of Matter.

While Jupiter itself is a ball of gas with no surface, its many moons are more amenable to supporting visitors. Here, beyond the Horizon, mages can work extraordinary feats of magic without fear of Paradox. Each of the so-called Gallilean moons (those large and bright enough to be visible from Earth with a telescope) is, at present, controlled by a different faction of mages, though footing shifts quickly and frequently. Portals between any two moons of Jupiter or Saturn are easy to open, so heavy fortification is necessary to keep invaders out.

The Traditions, mostly Sons of Ether, maintain a foothold on Ganymede, while the Technocracy controls Europa. A group of Marauders controls Callisto, while Io (a world of sulfur volcanoes and constant earthquakes) became a base for the Nephandi after they were exiled across the Horizon. The many smaller moons change hands frequently as the four factions harass one another in an ongoing conflict commonly known as the Jovian Wars.

Totem

The Jupiter Incarna is bound to the Fanum itself and acts as a totem for the sept, controlling the caern's Moon Bridge. Only Fanum packs can gain Jupiter as their totem.[1]

Traits & Ban

  • Background Cost: 8

Traits

Children of Jupiter radiate an aura of command. Any difficulty to lead a group, either military or civil, is two lower. Jupiter's children also gain one dot in Resources - riches gravitate to them. They also gain the Gift: Clap of Thunder. Whenever they gain Honor Renown, they receive an extra 100 honor.

Ban

Jupiter's Children must never refuse the responsibilities of leadership. However, if they do, Jupiter understands - they will lose 1000 Honor for each transgression, but still have the continued alliance of Jupiter.
