Rite of the Winter Wolf~3~Death~All~WtA~
This solemn and bleak rite is performed by a Garou who is too wounded or
aged to fight with his tribe. The Garou, upon announcing that he will 
undergo this rite, sits at the center of a gathering of his pack- and
septmates. This meeting is an onerous, solemn affair during which the
Moon Dancers sing hymns of the celebrant's life and deeds, and invoke the
spirits for glory in the next world or life. The celebrant then slowly 
and proudly walks through the closed ranks of the tribe. As he passes his
people, they begin howling a dirge similar to that sung during the 
Gathering for the Departed. Some Garou beat heavy drums or play mournful
pipes as the celebrant drags himself to a secluded site where he ends his
life, usually with a silver klaive.

Immediately after the suicide, the Gathering for the Departed is performed.
This rite is most often performed by members of the Red Talons and Get
of Fenris; it is almost unheard of among the Children of Gaia.

System: This rite is always performed at night and requires that at least
three other Garou be present to acknowledge the solemn event. The weapon
used by the Garou must be silver, although it need not be a klaive.
