A: Lodge Buildings
The six lodge buildings are on the northern edge of the Puyallup Glacier. Five of the buildings sit in a rough semi-circle, and a sixth sits back, apart from the others in the midst of a slearing amongst rocks and trees. This sixth building is worn-down and shabby and has a somewhat empty feel to it, like an abandoned house, and is where the Razorteeth Pack take up temporary residence while in the Sept.
The first of the five buildings is where the Gaurdian Pack, the Fires of Morning take up residence. A carved sun-burst sits above the entrance, and the building constantly radiates warmth, making it the only building on the Glacier that does not accumulate snow on the roof. The second building has spotlights at each of the corners, as well as a thick fibre-optic cable running through a corner. Above the door hangs a wolf head with six digitised lines over a silver disk and a logo reading "Wolfbone Media".
Winterfell Lodge is the third building, and the residence of the Silverback Pack, and the homid packless cubs within the Sept. It has several empty rooms, and often serves as a temporary sleeping place for any Sept visitors.
The fourth building houses two packs: The Left Hand of Gaia and The Right Hand of Gaia. It's constructed of two different types of wood, and above the door is are the Garou glyphs for the Stag and Wisdom.
The fifth building in the semi-circle holds the Night Whispers Pack, and above the door is carved the Garou glyph depicting a Raven. This building is permanently under shadow from the overhanging rock, and ravens frequently perch on the eaves.
B: Tokaloo Rock
Piercing through the ice and snow of the western downslope of the Puyallup Glacier is the volcanic spire of Tokaloo Rock. The Rock itself is unmarked in the Tellurian, but in the Umbra, stretched high into the air, and is covered with the Glyphs of the Garou, holding the Record of the Sept on one side, and the Silver record itself on the other, displayed for all to see. Sheltered against the base of the Rock is the RiteMistress' hut and the Ritual Hut, which serves as a sometimes sweat tent.
C: Ice House
The Ice House serves as the holding grounds for any food stock brough to the Sept. The meat is kept under the lodge, in a basement constructed entirely of glacial ice. Inside the building proper are breads, fruits and vegetables, usually purchased (and used) by Kinfolk.
D: Grave of Hallowed Heroes
The Grave consists of a simple snowfield surrounded by tall trees on all sides, dotted with small piles of stones within the snowfield itself. In the Umbra, the small stone piles are looming Grave markers, covered with the Garou glyphs showing the heroes buried (or in some cases, simply honoured) within and the prominent deeds of their lives. A small stone pool holds water from melted snow. Within the Umbra, the pool widens to be deep enough swim in.
E: Sunset Amphitheatre
The Sunset Amphitheater is a natural amphitheatre, with a semicurcular rock ridge overlooking a small depression. The Garou of the Sept use this area to resolve challenges, hold moots, and conduct large-scale rites, such as the Moot Rite.
F: Heart of the Caern
The Caern's Heart is a rocky ledge jutting out from a single cave near the summit of Mt. Rainier over the west side of the mountain, overlooking the Sept proper. The heart is only reachable through a single-width shelf that is constantly covered by powdery snow and assualted by high winds, forcing those who would reach the Heart to traverse by hugging the wall leading to the ledge. The cave is actually a very small tunnel through the rock leading from the shelf to the ledge, and is capable of being defended by a single Garou.
G: Beehive
The Beehive is a series of caves and holes on the southwestern side of the mountain. Most of the Lupus and metis of the Sept live within these cave and holes, many of which interconnect within the mountain. The honeycmb caves and tunnels, according to Garou legend, were hollowed out by the spirits of the mountain as the Caern was created. It would be extremely easy for anyone to lose their way inside the honeycomb caves, and the residents of the cave are free with stories of cubs and inexperienced Garou who have disappeared within the depths of the mountain.
