Salamander
Background Cost: 4
Salamander is famous for her ability to survive through the use of protective coloration. She demonstrates the wisdom of stealth and the need to adapt to the local surroundings. Some species, known as lungless salamanders, absorb oxygen through their skin rather than by breathing.

Traits
Packs who follow Salamander gain Stealth 2 and Gift: Blissful Ignorance. In addition, each pack member is able to exist for a short time (one scene per story) without breathable air.

Ban
Followers of Salamander must avoid causing harm to any salamander they see. They must immediately seek atonement for any salamander killed accidentally. They must also work to preserve lands where salamanders currently thrive.
