The Lodge of the Shepherd is a lodge devoted to protecting and educating the Wolf-blooded.
Overview[]
To the Lodge, the Wolf-blooded are both human and Uratha, members of the herd who need protection and future werewolves who need to learn their heritage. While others might balk at revealing the People's secrets to a Wolf-blooded relative, the Lodge of the Shepherd believe it's just as dangerous to leave a potential nusuzul in the dark. More to the point, they teach that the Oath of the Moon applies equally to the Wolf-blooded as to the Uratha, and they enforce it just as harshly against both. [1]
The patron spirit of the lodge is Shepherd Wolf, although some of their detractors call him Trembling Wolf. Shepherd Wolf only accepts those who truly love, or at least deeply respect, the Wolf-blooded; Ghost Wolves and wolves who have never been part of a pack are ineligible.[1]
