The members of The Shadows of the Forest have been born the color of night for as long as we can remember. Upon birth, each child is left alone in the darkness for one night. If the darkness sees fit, the child survives, if it is the will of the darkness the child will not make it through. The youth are trained in Silence and Suprise. For to suprise your enemies is to have already won. Our Alpha, Razor Soul, is our true leader and has allied us with the Dark Things. When we strike out against the vampires and the humans, he shall take his rightful place as ruler of all Werewolves. The Shadows forever bind each of us to the next. Allied with the Dark Things, we are given some of their power. The ability to instill fear by your mere presence is one of the things that has allowed us to live for so long. The Lord of Darkness grants us his cover, and in return we serve only him and are allied to his Creatures. This is declared in the Codex of Shapes.
Our religion includes chants and offerings for the Darkness. Our Priestess TaintedSong gives sacrifices to the Lord of Darkness. On the day of our worship, each family gathers in darkness and chants an old hymn bringing forth the Dark Things. Together we feast and worship the darkness. Each family giving an offering of a kill for the Dark Things to bring back to their master.
We wear no decorations exept for the symbol of darkness on our right flank. All other things hinder movement and cause noise when we wish to be rendered silent.
Our Lady FireSoul has the power to control the shadows with the amulet she wears around her neck. She is most powerful and well respected. The brothers of BlackRose & BlackThorn are the guardians of our Alpha and therefore guardians of darkness itself. They are unseen and unheard, exept when they wish to be.
