Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

carefully twisted appeals that can strike doubt into the
hearts of the Forsaken. When a werewolf turns his back
on the Tribes of the Moon to side with the Pure, he most
often reappears, branded and fervent, among the ranks of
the Fire-Touched. If he reappears at all.
Rabid Wolf’s ban is that he may not let a false statement
lie. The Izidakh must challenge lies the moment they
are uttered, even if doing so forces them to lose face in
front of other werewolves.
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.” Indeed, the Ivory Claws use blood magic of
their own to discern a werewolf’s lineage. If the recruit
descends from the Forsaken, rather than a Pure werewolf,
she is not permitted to join the Ivory Claws. Only the
“purest of the pure” are granted Silver Wolf’s Gifts of
blood absolution. 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.
Where the Fire-Touched rage with passion and
fanaticism, the Ivory Claws are almost cold in their fury.
They seem to possess the greatest foresight among the
Pure and are frequently the ones who make the farthestreaching
plans. They are the Pure most prone to maintain
some semblance of a human life, though
the humans who fall under
their power are said to
endure dire fates.
Young Forsaken
sometimes
wonder
if the
Ivory
Claws
might not be able to be reasoned with, perhaps even encouraged
to strike a peace agreement, but their hopes are
all too easily clawed to ribbons. The Ivory Claws’ hatred
of the Forsaken isn’t rabid like that of the Fire-Touched
or savage like that of the Predator Kings, but it’s no less
intense.
Only those with strong bloodlines rise to positions of
power and influence among the Tzuumfin. Power passes
hereditarily among them, rather than being based on
merit through challenges, as it is with the Forsaken.
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. If Pangaea had been preserved, the Uratha would
have been free to hunt openly, to treat humans like the
livestock they are. In a way, they respect the Forsaken’s
ancestors for the powerful hunters they were, and in a way,
they seem to respect those Forsaken strong enough to give
them a good fight. But as long as the Forsaken work to
preserve the world as it is, the world that was can never
return. So the Forsaken must die.
The Predator Kings’ preferred battle form is Urshul,
and they scythe down opponents as enormous, ferocious
dire wolves. The Ninna Farakh are the most feared warriors
of the Pure Tribes,
and even their allies give
them plenty of room once
a fight begins. Their
ritual hunts are bloody,
wild affairs that often
leave a string of unsolved
murders in the files of law
enforcement agencies.

Claws’ lead, but
