In the aftermath of World War II, the Shadow across much of Europe was in many places a living nightmare. Many packs died during the conflict surrounding the war, but many others suffered great losses while attempting to leash the forces that had spilled out of Shadow in the wake of the war. Germany was of course no exception. The Nazis had poured out destruction, and destruction had come back on the land, and those Uratha who still believed in their duty to restore the balance were slowly being driven mad by the task.
Then something slightly unusual happened. Under the leadership of Greta Hundred-Wounded, a Bone Shadow of tremendous will and keen insight, a number of packs agreed to cooperate for the greater good. This level of cooperation was, in itself, not the peculiar thing — a raw and immediate threat has often galvanized rival packs into a strong, if temporary, common front. What was unusual was that the
cooperation lasted.
Prerequisites
Harmony 4 or higher. As the Lodge of the Black Woods is more of a social than spiritual construct, the lodge requires little common ground — only that the members be of reasonably solid spiritual standing.
Benefits
Lodge members are encouraged to deal fairly with one another, and a higher level of trust pervades the lodge than in a region of otherwise unaffiliated Uratha. Lodge members all receive +1 to all Social rolls made when dealing with one another, including Resolve + Composure rolls made to resist Death Rage.
