Tribe

===Tribes===
The Forsaken have five Tribes. These Tribes consist of Uratha who choose to follow one of five ancient and powerful wolf-spirits, called the Firstborn. These Firstborn are the first born children of Father Wolf (but not of Mother Luna) and have allied with the Forsaken. Every one of the Forsaken demands, that the Uratha who belong to his Tribe act in accordance to a certain ban. These Five Tribes, with their First Tongue names in parentheses, are:
*Blood Talons (Suthar Anzuth) - the Tribe of Fenris Wolf, who promotes the warrior and wolf aspects of the Uratha. Their tribal ban is "Offer no surrender that you would not accept".
*Bone Shadows (Hirfathra Hissu) - occultists who seek to restore relations with the Spirit Courts with the guidance of their patron, Death Wolf. Their tribal ban is "Pay each spirit in kind".
*Hunters in Darkness (Meninna) - protectors of loci, the spiritual centres of the world. Black Wolf is their totem. Their tribal ban is "Let no sacred space in your territory be violated".
*Iron Masters (Farsil Luhal) - this Tribe, following the teachings of Red Wolf, embrace change and new ideas. They are closer to humanity, keeping up with technology and taking cities for their territory. Their tribal ban is "Honor your territory in all things".
*Storm Lords (Iminir) - the Tribe of Winter Wolf seeks to lead all Uratha through strength and noble example. Their tribal ban is "Allow no one to witness or to tend your weakness".
Next to these five Tribes, there are the Ghost Wolves among the Forsaken (Thihirtha Numea). These are not an actual Tribe, but rather a collective term for all Uratha who do not belong to a Tribe. Therefore, they neither have a tribal ban nor a tribal patron. Some follow the Oath of the Moon and others do not. Some never belonged to a Tribe and others left their Tribe (this includes Uratha from the ranks of the Pure). The only thing that all Ghost Wolves have in common, is that they don’t belong to the Uratha society in the traditional sense, apart from that, no generalizations can be made.
