The Lodge of Scavengers was founded on a fundamental principle of the Forsaken’s existence in the British Isles — survival, no matter the cost. Decades ago, when the lodge first began to spread among the cities and towns of England, it spread like wildfire among the downtrodden, the homeless and the urban scavengers who already stalked the streets after nightfall. Since then, the lodge has hardly spread at all, and though no social class or tribal restrictions apply to membership, this is a group that attracts more werewolves from poor backgrounds and from the streets than any other lodge.
The core drive behind the Lodge of Scavengers is that even the downtrodden and the destitute can survive and hold territory, either by scrounging a living in the wilderness or by picking through the bones of cities. Interestingly, it is common for entire packs to consist of “bone-pickers” (as the lodge members are often called) though it isn’t rare for a pack consisting of a variety of members to have a single member of the lodge. There is always room for prejudice, tribal allegiance or not, but werewolves of this lodge quickly prove their worth through their urban survival skills and cunning when it comes to finding hiding places.
