Uratha join the Lodge of Swords because they have a vision of how things should be done. For some Blood Talons, actively hunting out threats to a single territory isn’t enough. They hunt for a more active role in the world, whether advocating a cause in their own domains and striving to see it though to the end, or taking their outlook and sharing it with others in neighboring protectorates. The Lodge of Swords is a gathering ground for werewolves who champion individual causes and work tirelessly to achieve their own personal goals.
They are sometimes called, not entirely inaccurately, crusaders. A crusader with skewed aims or a dark heart is a dangerous antagonist. One with a noble goal and the will to achieve his ends is an inspiration to all around him. These are werewolves who seek out a purpose, a “Heart,” to quote the tale of the lodge totem, and are merciless in pursuit of achieving this cause.
