Chose not to retract a decision despite personal adversity, leading to later, concrete group benefit. Released the Spirit from a personal Fetish. Forfeited an opportunity for personal gain by stepping aside due to conflict of interest. Prevented a major escalation or imminent harm by choosing a compromise that left you wanting. Shared critical knowledge or resources despite personal consequences on resources/reputation.

Seek Insight To Win An Advantage	+5-Rank	You did your research before you acted. You connected disparate clues others missed. You predicted enemy behavior based on past patterns. You recognized a trap before springing it.
Protect the Veil	Variable	See the table about The Veil. Resolution must reduce exposure without escalating fallout.
Protect Sacred Sites And Things	+1	You either ensured that a sacred space or item will only be entered/used by those who honor it, or took proactive steps to handle the consequences of it being breached/mishandled. This includes obfuscating critical information from the unvetted, gatekeeping access, and innovating security measures. Does NOT include fighting threats that already broke in.
Preserve And Pursue Knowledge	+1	Redeemable max 2x a month. Either... You learned or taught another how to use a Gift or a Rite.

Rank 3+: You overcame an obstacle AND eradicated the source so it will not re-occur. Get +1 more Wisdom for each rank tier requirement you fulfill while being a lower rank.

One of the following: Took drastic/escalating action in the presence of others not suited for combat in response to harassment/insult/intimidation. Decision-making protected one's ego, status, or resources at the knowing expense of allies. Refusal to course-correct in the face of new information led to otherwise preventable consequences. Failure or refusal to step aside in a matter after conflict of interest is identified by self or others. Refusal to compromise or accept an imperfect solution fails to prevented a major escalation or imminent harm. Decision to hoard critical knowledge or resources creates avoidable work or hardship for allies.
Neglect Your Own Bias	-Rank	-0.5xRank Honor. Either... You identified your own incapacity, conflict of interest, or compromised judgment and yet did not recuse yourself. Someone you care about was at fault and you took action to prevent consequences or exposure of their wrongdoing.

Repeat Your Past Mistakes	-2	-4 Wisdom at Ranks 4 & 5. The wise learn from their mistakes. Based on your current Rank rating, not the rank you were when you first made the mistake. A "mistake" is something you have previously lost Renown for.
Bear False Testimony	-0.5xRank	-Rank Honor, -0.5xRank Glory Double penalty if it's an accusation of someone else (including a human) being Of the Wyrm. Triple penalty if it's an accusation of a Garou or Fera being Of the Wyrm.

Ananasi Wisdom

Among the Ananasi is the tension between individual will and absolute obedience, between secrets and understanding, as they strive to serve their Mother-Queen. For the Ananasi, and their emphasis on understanding your place in the Great Web and fulfilling it without question, their worldview may clash with other fera, such as the Corax who demands transparency or the Ragabash who exists to challenge the status quo. After all, to them, wisdom is not about freedom through understanding, it's about clarity through submission. Here are additional grounds for gaining and losing renown among the Ananasi.
