* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Ananasi have noble goals, in that they want to free their goddess and help her restore order to a broken universe. However, other supernaturals look askance at the manipulative means by which they go about this goal.

Added DiffLines:

The Triat

The Triat consists of the three primal forces of the universe: the Wyld (change and chaos), the Weaver (order and stability), and the WYrm (decay and destruction).

The Wyld

* EldritchAbomination
* TheGodsMustBeLazy By some accounts, the Wyld has done little or nothing to reign in the Weaver's madness or the Wyrm's unbridled destruction. The narrator of the Corax tribebook snarks that the Wyld was off "picking his toes" when the Weaver ensnared the Wyrm in her web.
* OrderVersusChaos: The Wyld embodies chaos and change, opposite the order and statis embodied by the Weaver.
* PureIsNotGood: The Wyld is the pure energy of dynamic change. However, an excess of Wyld energy can cause personality changes, physical transformations, madness, and even death.

The Weaver

* ControlFreak: Many Garou and Fera insist that the Weaver has gone insane, imprisoning the Wyrm in her web and seeking total statis in the universe.
* EldritchAbomination
* TheGodsMustBeIdiots: She thought it would be a good idea to imprison the Wyrm, which has had devastating consequences for the cosmos.
* MadGod
* SpidersAreScary: The Weaver is imagined as a giant spider, and the fabric of reality she creates is likened to a web. Also, she is served by pattern spider spirits, and her once-assistant, Ananasa, created spiders.

The Wyrm

* AlienGeometries: A trait of Malfeas, the Wyrm's home in the Umbra.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Wyrm is imagined as having a serpent-like or worm-like appearance. The narrator of the Corax tribebook sees this as phallic and understands the Wyrm to be male. "And a cigar is just a cigar. Riiiiight."
* EldritchAbomination
* EldritchLocation: Malfeas.
* GodOfEvil: Played with. In its original state, the Wyrm was the force of decay, destruction, and renewal that kept the universe in balance. Having gone insane from captivity in the Weaver's web, however, he has since transformed into an evil entity who inflicts horrors on Gaia.
* MadGod
* OmnicidalManiac: The Wyrm seeks to corrupt and destroy all of creation in an insane attempt to escape from captivity in the Weaver's web.
* Oroboros: In ''Chronicles of the Black Labyrinth'', the Oroboros symbolizes the Wyrm and cyclical nature of the universe he rules.
* TorturedAbomination: The Wyrm's corruption and destruction are its insane attempts to escape from the Weaver's web. Unfortunately, its escape attempts are devastating Gaia and making life horrific for Gaia's lifeforms.

Hyperion / Katanka-Sonnak -- Incarna of Helios, the Sun

* IHaveManyNames: On the rare occassion that she extends patronage to a pack, she does so in her aspect of Danu/Dana.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can assume any natural form in her realm, and might disguise herself as a tree, rock, or sea.

Nerigal -- Incarna of Mars

* Badass
* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: Ice, dust storms, and a dearth of liquid water serve as tests for visitors in his realm.
* WarGod

Rorg -- Incarna of Turog, now the Asteriod Belt

* AndIMustScream: Rorg is in constant physical and psychological agony, and his cries of pain greet visitors.
* AxCrazy
* BigBadassWolf: One of his forms is that of a huge, snarling wolf.
* DespairEventHorizon: Rorg's constant howl of pain can induce harano in Garou who visit his realm.
* DrivenToMadness: The destruction of Turog left him deeply traumatizes and angry.

* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Rorg's domain was utterly destroyed by a Wyrm spirit in ancient times, and its remains scattered as a reminder to the other Incarna.

The deranged descendants of the White Howlers, a tribe of Pictish Garou who fell to the Wyrm roughly two thousand years ago.
