Izidakh
The Fire-Touched are the spiritual leaders of the Pure Tribes. Far more so than the other Pure, the Izidakh hold forth that the Forsaken are damned by default. Their fevered sermons claim the Forsaken should be killed — in their sleep if necessary, on the battlefield if the werewolves’ defeat will bring more defectors to the Fire-Touched side. They label the Forsaken heretics who venerate Luna when they should have honored Father Wolf. As long as a single descendant of Father Wolf’s murderers remains alive, they say, the bloodstain on their race will never be forgiven. Only through fire can the taint be burned away, and the ugly brands on the pelts of some Fire-Touched hint at cruel rituals of penance.
The Fire-Touched follow Rabid Wolf, and their Gifts draw on the power of disease and religious conviction. The Fire-Touched are happy to accept converts from among the Uratha, and so is Rabid Wolf. Many of the Fire-Touched are charismatic speakers, and when they choose to address their prey as a preface to a feud, their words are carefully twisted appeals that can strike doubt into the hearts of the Forsaken. When a werewolf turns his back on the Tribes of the Moon to side with the Pure, he most often reappears, branded and fervent, among the ranks of the Fire-Touched. If he reappears at all.
Rabid Wolf’s ban is that he may not let a false statement lie. The Izidakh must challenge lies the moment they are uttered, even if doing so forces them to lose face in front of other werewolves.
