The Web of Dreaming Hands

The Web of Dreaming Hands is a Stargazers caern located in Carnarvon Gorge, Queensland, Australia.^[1]

Overview

This caern is situated within the 30-kilometer Carnarvon Gorge system. The gorge floor is covered in dense rainforest. In a concealed valley, a tributary of the major gorge system, lies thousands of spiders, spinning webs from tree to tree and filling the gorge with softly undulating sheets of silk. In the center of these webs rise two trees, their bare branches reaching upward like silk-gloved hands. Fog hides the entrance of the gorge from those who seek the caern unless they are accompanied by a Stargazer or bear a Stargazer fetish. It is rare for any Stargazer to remain long at the caern.

If a Garou sleeps within the cupped hands of the trees and sacrifices a point of Gnosis, she will dream a true dream. The dream's events will always occur, but may be difficult to interpret. Many who dream true dreams do not understand their visions until after the events they foretell have passed. Some Garou can control the flow of their vision, allowing them to dream about a specific topic. This requires a Wits + Enigmas roll (difficulty 8).

To visit the Web of the Dreaming Hands, a Stargazer must first be found, then convinced to open the caern to the appellant. The caern's totem, Fog, besides concealing the caern from the unworthy, whispers secrets to the Stargazers during their infrequent visits.
