Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

sometimes requires the applicant to perform a task first,
typically of the sort that results in Wisdom or Cunning
Renown), the applicant must then petition White Hare
and gain his blessing. White Hare isn’t so choosy, but
catching him is difficult and he doesn’t come when called.
If the applicant can chase down White Hare and obtain
his favor, he can then seek out a Harbinger (also not an
easy task) and ask to be let into the lodge. By this time,
the character has called up one totem Incarna, chased
down another and found one of the most elusive beings
in the world (a werewolf with a bent for stealth who takes
pains to avoid being tracked). The Harbingers consider
those tasks impressive enough to warrant membership,
although some members do require some sort of test of the
aspirant’s moral purity.
Benefits: Harbingers may learn Stealth Gifts as
though they were tribal Gifts. Also, the player may add
three modifier dice to any Persuasion rolls made to deal
favorably and peaceably with other Forsaken. The Harbingers
are interested in warning others of danger, not in
raising volatile werewolves’ hackles.
HUNTERS IN DARKNESS —
LODGE OF SEASONS
For the most part, Hunter in Darkness lodges are
attuned more to concepts instinctively understood by
animals than to abstract ideals. Rage against humans,
bring harmony to the world — these concepts are simple
enough. But the Uratha of the Lodge of Seasons follow
not one, but four different agendas, depending on which
season it is. They tune themselves into the world’s natural
currents, hoping to understand her, to become closer to
what she is and to live truly by her rules.
In spring, the werewolves of this lodge look to
renewal. They abstain from battle except if absolutely necessary,
they guide intruders away from their sacred places
(unless an intruder comes with hostile intent, and even
then they try to avoid bloodshed), and they don’t accept
violent challenges from other Forsaken. Most members
of the Lodge of Seasons make a point of striving only for
Cunning and Wisdom Renown during spring, staying
the most active under the new and crescent moons. Most
also attempt conception during this time, if they desire
children.
In summer, as the days grow longer and hotter, the
Meninna of this lodge lash out. They search out righteous
battle, show no mercy to their foes or to intruders, and
generally live by their Rage all summer long. Black Wolf
insists, however, that they temper that Rage with Harmony,
and so members of this lodge often seek Purity as
well as Glory during summer. Those with families either
avoid them or become fiercely protective of them during
the summer months.
In autumn, as the world begins to sleep, these Hunters
in Darkness live up to their tribe’s name. They stalk
the physical realm and its Shadow, settling debts and
stocking up on food and whatever resources they’ll need
for the winter with ruthless efficiency. During this season,
most Lodge of Seasons members work toward Honor and
Glory, wishing to put to rest any loose ends from past-year
events.
