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, who a unique 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.
