Werewolf: The Forsaken - Society

Society

Uratha can, theoretically, come from any part of human society, which can have a stronger or lower importance after the werewolf’s first change. Some forsake human society completely and others do not.

Most Uratha form packs of different sizes to hunt more efficiently and better protect their territory. The smallest packs consist of 3 Uratha and every pack needs a totem (a spirit who bonds with the pack).

Also, every Forsaken werewolf who belongs to a Tribe must swear the Oath of the Moon, which (roughly) describes the moral of the Uratha (called Harmony). The phrases of the Oath are:

  • The Wolf Must Hunt (the Uratha have to fulfill the roles of Father Wolf)
  • The People do not murder the People (Uratha don’t murder other Uratha)
  • The Low honor the High, the High respect the Low
  • Respect your Prey
  • The Uratha shall cleave to Human (Uratha are forbidden to mate with each other or with wolves and are mandated to reproduce)
  • Do not eat the flesh of Human or wolf
  • The herd must not know (the Uratha must be hidden from the humans)

Famous quotes containing the word society:

    “We’re scientists, aren’t we? That’s one society where frayed cuffs don’t matter. We’ve all had ‘em.”
    —Walter Reisch (1903–1963)

    “... my aim is now, as it has been for the past ten years, to make myself a true woman, one worthy of the name, and one who will unshrinkingly follow the path which God marks out, one whose aim is to do all of the good she can in the world and not be one of the delicate little dolls or the silly fools who make up the bulk of American women, slaves to society and fashion.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    “There will always be in society certain persons who are mercuries of its approbation, and whose glance will at any time determine for the curious their standing in the world. These are the chamberlains of the lesser gods. Accept their coldness as an omen of grace with the loftier deities, and allow them all their privilege.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
