The Lodge of Thunder isn’t subtle, nor do the lodge’s members want to be. They espouse the most direct and forthright form of leadership. As one of the “three pillars of the storm,” they stand for one of the three recognized paths to power — and arguably the most widely respected. They represent open leadership through might and charisma, the path of the alpha who leads by strength of presence and sinew.
In an idealistic sense, the Lodge of Thunder stands for the idea of leadership by merit. At the core of the Storm Lord philosophy is the idea that the Forsaken need the strongest werewolves possible to lead them, and the Lodge of Thunder is a refinement of this mindset. Practically, however, the amount of idealism in the lodge varies quite a bit. Some of the Thunder Lords are outright brutes, using an iron fist to control their packs and any other “allies” they can overpower. Others are very pragmatic, reasoning that strength is necessary for a pack’s survival. And, of course, some consider themselves to be working for the greater good; to their minds, they strive to be the leaders that the Forsaken deserve.
