did you mean Glaive or Klaive? cuz' honestly if you meant Klaive I was going to have to say that you've been reading too many old world of darkness books.

Well, in fact I only ever read one of two of those books - but after all, I've already included the misconception that lunar cycles have any effect on werewolves at all, which was a plot point first introduced by Universal monster movies not even seventy years ago.
It is an ecclectic piece of work - one popular misconception isn''t better simply because it has been around for longer then another. :)

eh, so basically your just saying that it's a "toe-may-toe/ toe-mah-toe" issue, right?

Well, while the concept and the name are reminiscent of the WoD-Concept, this text isn't final, so I may even come up with a more appropriate name then the bastardisation of a japanese polearm.
I certainly won't go all "Gaias sacret spirit-warriors" on it, if that's what you're worrying about.

*snorks and then chuckles* please. honestly i think it's pretty cool you actually used glaives instead of klaives. honestly though, just keep it the way it is now. works just fine and it ain't broke, so don't try to fix it. :P

interesting enough, Klaive and glaive share the same root meaning if my memory serves me propperly. they both have the meaning of "to cleave" as their root word. as for "geia's secret spirit warriors", ya got that part all wrong. the Garou are Geia's warriors, plain and simple. they just act as her white blood cells.

I always had the impression that there was a certain sanctity in their calling, giving the whole paradigm of the RPG a spiritual feel, that's why the sacred (if misspelled) warriors. Also, the werewolves were introduced as halfway physical, halfway manifested spirits. But that was just an apsect I focused on while reading it.
In the end, this goddess/biosphere nomenclature is probably just another potatoe/potatoe thing, right?

amen to that.
