Information:

The character has either been granted use of an ''Iduth-Su'', or has created one of the Flayed Ones himself. These unfortunate beings were once Lunes, but after being exposed to the obscene Rite of Dead Light they have become barely sentient creatures, completely subservient to the Bale Hounds. The Moon-Skin is visible in the ''Hisil'' as what appears to be a few shreds of silver light, flickering and rippling over and over in the vague outline of the Lune it once was. These wretched beings are hidden by the Bale Hounds, often in deeply infected Wounds, and sustained by the ''Asah Gadar'' nearby in exchange for bestowing Gifts upon the Maeljin’s werewolf servants. Any Moon- Skin is capable of granting Mother Luna Gifts, Eclipse Gifts, Tainted Moon Gifts and any Gift associated with the auspice choir that the Lune once belonged to, as long as the Bale Hound has the required number of experience points necessary to purchase the Gift he wishes to learn. The character must still be of the appropriate auspice to learn Auspice Gifts; a Bale Hound who was drawn from the ranks of the Pure cannot learn Auspice Gifts at all. '''Disadvantage:''' The ''Iduth-Su'' are in a constant state of critical injury, kept extent only by the Essence that the Bale Hounds feed them. ''The Iduth-Su'' are unable to hold Essence, and thus cannot spend the daily point of Essence to sustain themselves. To maintain a Moon-Skin, a Bale Hound must feed it a point of Essence per night at moonrise. If even one moonrise slips by without this expenditure, the Lune dies (probably with great relief) and dissipates. In areas where more than one Bale Hound is present, the ''Asah Gadar'' usually share a Moon-Skin and take turns feeding the poor creature the Essence it requires. This involves shedding one Health point’s worth of the donating Hound’s own blood over the being’s flickering, ebbing form and spending an Essence point, which is transferred to the ''Iduth-Su'' during the process. If a Bale Hound is alone in the area and seeks to maintain this Merit, she must ideally learn of some way to siphon a great deal of Essence in the local region, either through loci or learning a way to drain Essence from Wounds. Also, the ''Iduth-Su'' are extremely difficult to create and maintain, and the Bale Hounds don’t take kindly to members who allow ''the Iduth-Su'' to die through carelessness, or those Hounds who ''create Iduth-Su'' in great numbers and risk drawing Mother Moon’s watchful attention. An ''Asah Gadar'' who behaves in either manner can expect serious reprisals from his fellow Hounds. {{Links|Retainer}}{{characteristics}}
