TL;DR: What are the practical differences between a Black Spiral and a Black Spiral Dancer, both spiritually and socially?
So, I’m running my first Chronicle of in general (W5) and one thing I was curious about as I researched the settings history was the difference between a Black Spiral and a Black Spiral Dancer. As I understand it, a Black Spiral only becomes a Dancer after they’ve gone into the Spiral itself. Once they have, they are somehow bound to Bat and the Wyrm and very little, if anything, can bring them back.
What I’m curious about is those who have not yet braved the Spiral. When are they usually sent on this Rite, if there is a set time? Can they flee from the Hive and if so, how are they pursued? Are they redeemable, in the eyes of the Garou?
Thank you for any advice you can give.
