Lodge of the Chronicle
Overview
The Lodge of the Chronicle is open only to Cahalith werewolves, and is more than 700 years old. They story that accompanies its both is somewhat fantastic, but given the nature of the lodge, the members believe it.
The tale gives goes that a young Cahalith was caught up in a Sacred Hunt that ranged across a continent, and involved chasing down a disease-spirit (possibly an idigam, though the lodge denies this) powerful enough to bring whole human populations to heel. It spawned Claimed, Hosts, hundreds of minor spirits, and even traitor Uratha who would rather live deformed than die sick. By the time the hunt was complete and the battle was won, dozens of werewolves had died, and the lore and history of two generations of Uratha was gone.
The lodge's founder, horrified, determined that this should never happen again, and formed the Lodge of the Chronicle. Crying Owl, a wise spirit with a long, piercing song, agreed to act as patron to the lodge, and its numbers grew over time. Uratha as a whole, and members display perfect recall and a dazzling understanding of history and lore. They do, however, have an unfortunate tendency to become lost is interesting stories and are therefore easily manipulated.
