Honor the Mother's Forgiveness

The Lodge of Praetors is founded on the dual notions of judging other Forsaken, and attempting to prove the People are worthy of Luna’s forgiveness. In a world in which packs fight for themselves and rarely venture far from their own hunting grounds, this is a group of werewolves who often travel from territory to territory, passing their own judgments on their brethren. It is said by most of those who encounter the Praetors that the lodge has no right to do this, and that Forsaken society (such as it is) needs no internal policing beyond packmates watching out for each other and obeying the Oath of the Moon.

Though the lodge has roots in a noble ideal, the fact remains that the Praetors have no mandate of authority over other werewolves beyond the lodge members’ own strength and insistence. This means that a Praetor attempting to pass judgment on another Uratha had better be incredibly skilled in battle, or quick-witted and wise enough to prove to a pack that one of its members has violated the Oath of the Moon and deserves to die for doing so. Unsurprisingly, most werewolves of this lodge are both, and care nothing that the other Forsaken resent being judged. These Uratha have appointed themselves as the guardians of the Oath, ensuring through their diligence that Luna never withdraws her forgiveness from the Forsaken. If individual sinners and their accomplices seek to thwart the coming of justice, well, the Oath says The People Do Not Murder the People. Righteous execution for grave transgressions is another thing entirely, especially when such punishment is in the name of a Goddess’ justice.
