Heart of the City
| This Lodge is only available in London.
|
Nowhere are Britain’s many scars laid barer than in the city of London. From its roots as the Roman settlement of Londinium to its place as one of the biggest cities in the world, London has suffered plague, war and fire throughout the ages. Nine million souls claim it as their home, and countless spirits dwell within the city’s Shadow.
The Lodge of London is an example of a lodge bound entirely to one vast location. The lodge’s membership transcends any notion of tribe or allegiance, and the werewolves within the group swear to honor the spirit of the city in return for the mighty being’s aid when they call for it. A pack might take a location-spirit for its patron, but only something as sizeable as a lodge could hope to attract the attention of a city-spirit.
Werewolves of the Lodge of London are not formed into packs that are duty-bound to roam the city together. Rather, packs that claim territory in and around the city have the option of individual members joining the lodge and using their added expertise for the benefit of their own pack. Uratha bound to London itself could use the tie to the totem to intimidate spirits in negotiations and subtly remind the denizens of the Shadow just who (or rather what) is on the Forsaken’s side. A lodge member might have dreams of the city’s secret places, of areas that are in dire need of cleansing or would make excellent additions to the pack’s hunting grounds. And any bonded werewolf can call upon the unyielding fortitude and ancient might of the city, drawing strength from a spirit that has grown and evolved for thousands of years.
