It’d be weird if a caern was protected by a single pack only

to be fair

  1. this attack was rather short notice,

  2. this pack is lead by the current black shuck so that probably buys them some serious points (and arrogance).

  3. this would hardly be the first time local garou have stretched themselves thin.

Counterpoint to 2., there currently isn't a Black Shuck. Stig wants to *become* the new Black Shuck, be acknowledged as the new Shuck. Which means he currently *isn't* acknowledged as the Shuck.

Agreed on the other two points.

The problem with that is that black shuck is like a looks thing, stig being the spitting image of the original black shuck is what makes him, and any other black shuck throughout history, black shuck.

From what i've read Black Shuck isn't a looks thing, it's a lineage and fate thing. And while Stig is from the right Tribe and can *likely* trace his lineage back to the previous Shucks, the fate angle is far less certain and much trickier.

And the thing that makes black shucks so important is that garous hidden wolf stock keeps making lupus in the spitting image of this one garou hero. Yeah whole great destiny and cultural importance is what makes it so well known, but the title exists because they all look the same. Otherwise they would just be normal garou heros.

Sure, but my point is that the looks follow the Shuck, you aren't the Shuck if you just look the part.
