Of Honor and Victory
Of all the humans’ tools, weapons are one of the least used amongst the Uratha. Certainly, weapons are useful on those occasions when one must stay in Hishu but, given the choice, most werewolves would rather fight with their natural weapons of tooth and claw. The Lodge of Arms, though, understands the value of the weapon, be it sword, bow or gun. An Uratha with weapon can be far more dangerous in Hishu or Dalu than one would expect and, with a fetish weapon, can approach the danger levels of Gauru without any of the control issues.
Blade wolves, as members of this lodge are known, devote themselves to the mastery of a single weapon: that’s an individual weapon, not a class of weapons. These werewolves involve themselves in the creation of their weapons, from forging and manufacturing, through the process of binding spirits into the weapons and merging those spirits with the weapons’ own awakened spirits.The net result is a weapon that is part child, part lover and part killing device. For many members of the lodge, their relationship with their weapons will become the defining relationships of their lives. The intimate connections with the weapons allow the blade wolves to wield them to devastating effect.
