The Lodge of the Second Moonrise is composed of werewolves who wish to repent. Many of them are not truly Rahu, but they all think of themselves as Full Moons, self-identify as Full Moons, and try to live as though they are Full Moons. Many of them are Ghost Wolves, have performed the Rite of Renunciation in order to atone for some horrible crime they committed before being “saved.”
All members of the lodge believe that their moment of salvation came at the hands of either a Full Moon werewolf, a Ralunim or Mother Luna herself. “Salvation” here is typically as bloody an event as one would expect from werewolves — most lodge members, in fact, barely survived it. Some committed terrible violations of the Oath. They might have habitually consumed human flesh, sired or bore a Ghost Child, or even betrayed a pack to an enemy. They might have hunted down and slain other werewolves with no particular reason for doing so (although killing the People is against the Oath, killing sworn enemies such as the Pure or the Bale Hounds isn’t usually cause for tribal expulsion by itself). Some members of the Lodge of the Second Moonrise actually were Pure, or even Bale Hounds or Zi’ir. That, they say, is the power of Luna to grant salvation. Even the Empty Souls can be refilled.

Benefits
While the lodge makes frequent prayers and supplications to Luna to grant them access to the Gifts taught by the Ralunim (Full Moon Gifts and Purity Gifts), she has yet to do so. The power that Isi’is-ur wields as a lodge totem, however, has enabled the members of the lodge to learn either Strength Gifts or Dominance Gifts as though they were affinity Gifts (the character picks one list upon joining the lodge).
