Most werewolves don’t like to be reminded: they’re cursed. It’s implicit behind the curtain that is their appellation — the Forsaken. And while most of the Uratha distance themselves from this cold fact, some remind themselves every day that curses are around us all.
The Lodge of Kletby (Czech for “Curses,” with a singular of “Kletba”) may be unique in that it’s devoted to an idea that doesn’t really have a universal definition. Some Uratha don’t even believe in curses, per se, while others think they are merely a label applied to certain effects. However, members of the Lodge of Kletby believe there is more to the idea of cursing and being cursed — much more.

Benefits
All members of the Lodge of Kletby gain access to Invoke Kletba, a millennium-old rite. Unfortunately, with this benefit comes a cost: the rite is fueled by the Kletba’s own permanent curse, received during initiation. In the 1,000 years the lodge has existed, no one has been able to call themselves both Kletba and uncursed. (Conversely, anyone permanently cursed by the Kletby can theoretically utilize the power of that curse to fuel their own iterations of Invoke Kletba.)
Curiously, despite the labels applied by most werewolves, the mere “curse” of being one of the Forsaken is insufficient to power Invoke Kletba.
