ELDER GALLIARD: TALESINGER
Pivotal to Garou society, the myths and tales enforce a single conceit: so long as you are remembered, you cannot die. If this is true, then the Galliards who serve on the Council of Auspices, the Talesingers, hold the keys to immortality. To be mentioned in song, to have deeds told near the hearth, is the closest that a werewolf can conceive of paradise.
A Talesinger organizes other Galliards, and together, they ensure that the sept's records are correctly kept, that the laws of the sept are known to all, and that the histories and stories of the sept's members are told and remembered. She tends to the Hall of Heroes, and she records the important deeds of the sept. Within the monument to the ancestors, the Talesinger is lord and master, ensuring the vital links to history are never in danger. When the sept faces threats, here the Talesinger stands as a bulwark against those who would defame history.
She spreads tales of those under her charge to other septs and likewise collects information about the world.
Often a Talesinger puts together an overheard comment or phrase, passing it along to the Fool, unleashing the Ragabash to learn the truth from these scraps and rumors.
A worthy Talesinger keeps Elders well-informed of threats and victories that might be important to the defense of their sept, and she encourages Cubs to seek out adventure when they formally join the nation. She is responsible for assisting the Den Parent with the historical education of the sept, helping ensure that young Garou are taught all that they need to know to be successful when they join the nation’s ranks. Moots fall under the bailiwick of the Talesinger. She assigns a Galliard to organize and perform moots at sept functions and is responsible for ensuring that they are all run properly according to tradition and for the good of the sept. With the incredible importance surrounding the proper execution of a moot and its attendant events, the Talesinger is like a conductor overseeing her symphony, assigning positions to those best suited to them and ensuring the harmony of these important affairs. A Talesinger also guards against the insidious spirit-sorrow known as Harano. She assigns herself and her assistants to perform moot events to brighten spirits and learn the newest achievements of the sept’s members. She monitors packs for their emotional and mental health, taking steps to correct things if they begin to fall out of balance.
