Eiwaz

Karol Nicole, Irraka member of the Eiwaz

The Eiwaz mot is a lodge of Uratha supremacists. They are largely unwelcome among the Forsaken.

Overview

The mot first emerged in the mid-20th century. According to the Eiwaz, werewolves are the apex of creation and deserve to act as such. They accuse the other Forsaken of using the Oath of the Moon to unfairly restrain the master race; their own interpretation of it stretches many of the tenets, especially the obligation to keep the People's existence secret from the herd. After all, why should the paragons of evolution hide themselves among degenerates?

The mot refers to their patron as Noble Wolf, though he is not one of the Firstborn. In fact, some outsiders suspect he may be related to the Maeljin Incarna. Others think the Eiwaz is a front for the Pure or for Bale Hounds. They are definitely involved in organized crime, when they're not harassing other packs' territories. Many, though not all, of their members are Ghost Wolves, and most belong to packs drawn exclusively from lodge members.
