Namorrkan Caern

The Namorrkan Caern is a Black Fury caern located in Arnhem Land, Australia.[1]

Overview

This well-guarded caern lies in the escarpment region of northern Kakadu National Park, some 50 kilometers west of the Arnhem Land border. The ridge on which the caern stands is called 'Lightning Dreaming' by the local Aboriginal people. The area is taboo to the local Aboriginals, who believe that Namorrkan will strike dead with his lightning any who dare to venture too close to the site. The caern lies atop a bare hill, encircled by trees. A cavern in the hill below contains a gallery of rock art, among which is pictured Namorrkan himself.

Namorrkan Caern is closely guarded by the Black Furies, despite the fact that the Lightning Man has not spoken to them since they took control of the site following the War of Tears. Namorrkan is an aloof, elemental spirit who speaks only to men. The Black Furies of Arnhem Land debate among themselves whether to ask other Garou for help in contacting the spirit (with his aid, the nearby Ranger uranium mine might be destroyed), although their pride has thus far prevented them from taking such action.
