Lodges

Lodge: A specialized sub-faction generally within a tribe, which venerates a spirit tied to one particular aspect of the tribal philosophy.

Most members of a tribe devote themselves to their tribe’s broad ideals while managing their territory, interacting with their packmates and neighboring werewolves and so on. Some Uratha, however, devote themselves to certain aspects of their tribe’s totem spirit. Every tribe has a number of “lodges,” which are societies within the tribe that are dedicated to a particular facet of the tribe’s totem and activities.

Lodges have associated spirits, but not true totems, which represent special areas of interest or expertise within a given tribe. Members of lodges generally teach unique rites and Gifts that other werewolves do not have access to, and membership in a lodge comes with additional responsibilities that membership in a tribe doesn’t include. At the very least, lodge-mates owe one another more loyalty and assistance than tribemates do.

Lodges are not open to the very young or inexperienced. Every lodge has specific requirements for entry, and no werewolf can join a lodge simply by asking to join. An invitation must be extended from Uratha who are already members. Some lodges are geographical in nature, focusing on a particular aspect of local culture. There are said to be many strange lodges among the werewolves of Africa, for instance, which teach secrets of survival in those wolf-less lands. Rumors also persist that some lodges cross tribal lines, but any such societies are truly secret.
