Endura
(“The Fasting”)
Almost as essential to the Brood as the Consolamentum is the Endura, the rite of ritual fasting. By keeping himself and his covey-mates marginally deprived of Vitae, they can all more easily rouse themselves to action during the period when the Beast is normally at its weakest — from dawn until dusk.
just as other Choronzon powers, this rite needs only be performed once with the Therion’s covey, after which the rite self-sustains through the power of The Crux. Once the rite’s performed, the Therion and his covey-mates gain some measure of added awareness and control during daylight hours, so long as they observe at least a minimal fast. Any covey-mate who participates in this rite is allowed to add the Choronzon rating of the Therion to the covey-mate’s Humanity rating to determine his maximum dice pool when trying to wake or take other actions during the day (maximum 10 dice), provided his blood pool is at anything less than full capacity. A Forsworn can spend Vitae upon rousing to receive the benefits of this power.
Example: A Brood member who took part in the Endura finds himself roused by a sound during the day. Instead of rolling just his Humanity (two dice) to rise, he can add his Therion’s Choronzon rating (•••) as well, for a total of five dice — but only because he was not full up on blood when he went to sleep that morning. Once fully awake, his pools for daytime actions will be limited to five dice, rather than two.
