Chapter One: Time and Place

Gives a short history of the city of Denver and its immediate environs, as well as the werewolf involvement in that history. The second half of the chapter gives a down-and-dirty guide to the major points of interest in Colorado region, as well as a primer on how newly changed werewolves become a part of Denver's Forsaken society.

Chapter Two: Tribes of the Moon

Describes the local Forsaken and how they might interact with the players' characters. It also includes descriptions of Denver's heavy hitters, including the werewolves of the Silver Syndicate and the Echoes of Thunder packs. This chapter builds on the characters introduced in the Appendix of Werewolf: The Forsaken, and characters given full write-ups there are not repeated here.

• Rite: Information Gestalt (•••)
• This mystical rite duplicates the effects of the Gift: Omen Gazing (p. 124 of Werewolf: The Forsaken), except that the extended roll to activate the rite is based on Harmony, the rite is affected by the usual rite modifiers, and there is no Essence cost. Other factors such as the nature of the extended roll and the 24-hour limitation remain the same (though a character can use Omen Gazing and Information Gestalt in the same 24-hour period). The Iron Masters developed the ritual, though any tribe can use it. The character enters a meditative trance by watching multiple television screens, all turned to different channels. (pg. 65)
