There are tasks a Lord performs for his tribe and his race that could never be
acknowledged at a public moot. The Rite of Shame is a way for Shadow Lords
to secretly gain temporary Renown at a shadow moot without revealing their
activities to the rest of the Garou.

The spirits summoned during this variant of the Rite of Accomplishment are
the same as the spirits summoned in a public moot. They will acknowledge
successful tasks performed for the Garou Nation, but only other Lords will
know of the actual events. The spirits are the great equalizer in this; they
understand the darker truths behind the Garou. In this same sense, the
Storyteller must ensure that this additional Renown has been earned.
Pleasing the Grand Master of a shadow moot is not enough to earn Renown; the
Lords must answer to "higher authorities" as well.

These temporary points cannot be used to gain permanent Renown until the Lord
advances in Rank or gains a political position within the sept. In other
words, once the Lord has succeeded in furthering his ambition, he may be able
to justify his activities. Before his ascendance, only other members of his
shadow moot will know of and respect this renown, but once he gains power,
he will receive further accolades.

System: Depending on the Shadow Lord's deeds, the Storyteller may grant him
temporary Renown for tasks that would not be deemed "honourable" by other
Garou. If the end arguably justifies the means, the Storyteller may award
the Lord a fitting amount of temporary Glory, Honor or Wisdom. Let common
sense be your guide - no Gaian spirit will acknowledge Renown for deeds
worthy of the Black Spiral Dancers.
