(Most of these tribes have partial or direct analogies in the tribes from Werewolf: The Apocalypse.) Each promotes a certain attitude to or agenda behind the hunt. Tribes are groups of Uratha who have chosen to follow the teachings of one of the totems, five powerful wolf spirits who were among the original children of Father Wolf. Irraka (The New Moon, The Stalker) - scouts, spies and trackers.Ithaeur (The Crescent Moon, The Spirit Master) - occultists and keepers of spirit lore and rituals.Elodoth (The Half Moon, The Walker Between) - diplomats to the spirit courts, judges and arbiters.Cahalith (The Gibbous Moon, The Visionary) - seers, storytellers and lorekeepers.

Rahu (The Full Moon, The Warrior) - warriors of all kinds from brawlers to seasoned commanders.(Most of these auspices differ from those of Werewolf: The Apocalypse in subtle but important ways.) The five auspices have names in the First Tongue: Luna decides each Uratha's auspice, based on their personality and abilities accordingly, an Uratha will go through the First Change during the corresponding moon phase. Many Uratha learn to speak the First Tongue fluently.Įach Uratha has an auspice, a traditional role in Uratha society, tied to one of five phases of the moon. They also possess an instinctive (if rudimentary) understanding of the First Tongue, the language spoken by their ancestors and spirits (possibly also the original language of all humans). Uratha are also spiritual creatures, able to channel spirit energy, which they call Essence, to make use of supernatural powers called gifts to aid them in their hunts. Like wolves, the Uratha form packs in order to hunt more efficiently and better guard their territory. Many have trouble containing their aggression, hindering their ability to live normal human lives. Uratha are fierce territorial predators who feel the compulsion to hunt. Unlike traditional werewolves, Uratha may change at any time into various forms between man and wolf, though they do find this easier when the phase of the moon matches their auspice. Each character has an auspice or role, and most join a tribe.
Any human with Uratha heritage may undergo the First Change at some time in their life, becoming a werewolf, though what triggers the change is unknown. Players portray Uratha, werewolves whose duty is to protect the world from creatures of the spirit realms.
