Within the pack, the Irraka is the scout, the first to<br />

follow a trail and the first to catch sight of the prey. <strong>The</strong><br />

blessings of stealth and subterfuge enable the moonless<br />

<strong>Forsaken</strong> to tail a person or investigate an area much more<br />

easily than his packmates might. <strong>The</strong>y are the werewolves<br />

who hunt without howling, who kill with a silent bite to<br />

the throat.<br />

For all that, though, the Irraka are not lone wolves.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y may operate on the fringes of the pack during a<br />

hunt, but they feel the pack mentality as strongly as other<br />

werewolves. <strong>The</strong> moonless auspice seems to have less of<br />

Luna’s touch upon them, and a greater number of Irraka<br />

still think of themselves as “human” at heart than do<br />

the werewolves of any other auspice. However, even if<br />

they sometimes choose to walk alone through the human<br />

herds, their place is with their pack.<br />

Irraka also frequently master the art of trickery,<br />

though not for the sake of humor. <strong>The</strong>ir arts of deceit are<br />

plied to achieve some other end — deceiving an enemy<br />

or enhancing the reputation of their pack. <strong>The</strong>y are most<br />

frequently often the ones charged with upholding the<br />

secret of the People’s existence by leaving false trails and<br />

duping local humans.<br />

Primary Renown: Cunning<br />

Specialty Skills: Larceny, Stealth, Subterfuge<br />

Gift Lists: Evasion, New Moon, Stealth<br />

Auspice Ability: Pathfinder’s Sense. As scouts for the<br />

<strong>Forsaken</strong>, the Irraka have an easier time recognizing spirit<br />

influence. Irraka receive two bonus dice on the roll to<br />

look from one world to the next or to perceive ephemeral<br />

spirits (see “Dual Senses” in Appendix One, p. 252), or on<br />

the roll to determine in which direction a locus lies while<br />

within its area of influence (p. 262).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Change: An Irraka might be flooded with a killing<br />

fury, tearing apart anything in his path, or he might<br />

be overcome with fear, attempting to avoid contact with<br />

anyone. <strong>The</strong> only notable commonality is that the Irraka’s<br />

First Change frequently brings on an instinct to hide, to<br />

move softly and quietly. <strong>The</strong> gift of Luna the Hidden is<br />

the gift of stealth, and many Irraka use it instinctively to<br />

protect themselves on the night of Change.<br />

Quote: You didn’t think there was only one of us in<br />

town, did you? Guess you don’t know much about werewolves,<br />

and you don’t have much time to learn. Listen. My<br />

friends are at the door.<br />
