Werewolf: the Forsaken

Setting

Tribes

The Forsaken are known as the Tribes of the Moon, this is because all of the Forsaken have sworm the Oath of the Moon are under her Aegis. She is aligned with the five Firstborn who slew Father Wolf and each of them patronize the Uratha who serve under her.

Tribes of the Moon

Bone Shadows (Hirfathra Hissu)

Tribal Renown: Wisdom
Tribal Gifts: Death, Insight, Warding

Hunters in Darkness (Meninna)

Tribal Renown: Purity
Tribal Gifts: Elemental, Nature, Stealth

Tribal Renown: Honor
Tribal Gifts: Dominance, Evasion, Weather

Ghost Wolves (Thihirtha Numea)

The Ghost Wolves do not have a spirit patron collectively — they're hardly a group at all. The term "Ghost Wolves" is really an oblique aspersion, though more a term of pity than contempt.

Pure Tribes

Fire-Touched (Izidakh)

The Fire-Touched are the spiritual leaders of the Pure Tribes and hold that the Forsaken are damned by default. Their fevered sermons claim the Forsaken should be killed — in their sleep if necessary, on the battlefield if the werewolves' defeat will bring more defectors to the Fire-Touched side. They label the Forsaken heretics who venerate Luna when they should have honored Father Wolf.

Ivory Claws (Tzuumfin)

Silver Wolf, the Ivory Claws' totem wolf, is obsessed with purity. He will not accept a pledge of service and brotherhood from any werewolf who has served "Luna's weaklings." Some werewolves abandon the Forsaken for the Pure for their own reasons, breaking the Oath and being stripped of Luna's blessing, but those renegades never join the Ivory Claws.

Predator Kings (Ninna Farakh)

The Predator Kings are primitive monsters. They follow Dire Wolf, oldest of the Firstborn, and they vehemently eschew the soft human lives of modern convenience. The Predator Kings do not hate the Forsaken for the alleged slaying Father Wolf — anything that cannot defend itself has no innate right to live. What the Predator Kings cannot forgive is the loss of the hunter's paradise that was Pangaea.
