Order of Wulfrum

In ages past, God of the Hunt Wulfrus was a much respected deity. His worshipers thrived in the dense forests for centuries, and even as cities and civilization spread into the woods his worship was still widespread. When wars began to erupt throughout the world Wulfrus chose to become the God of War. Due to this change, many clerics and crusaders took up his oath, becoming fierce demon hunters and honorable warriors. He began to bless his faithful with lycanthropy, giving them unmatched ferocity and strength in battle. Eventually a large amount of his faithful became an organized order of knights and became the Order of Wulfrum, which served the Tathorian Empire valiantly and bravely. When the Empire collapsed in 413 AC, the Order seized control of the old forest regions. The borders have barely changed since their formation.

The knights’ ferocity is matched only by their skill and no sane general will fight their armies on a level playing field. Most nations and cultures despise the order for their warmongering and violent ways, despite it's otherwise honorable actions.

Becoming a member of the Order requires years of training and devout prayer and service to Wulfrus. Once a knight becomes worthy as determined by Wulfrus himself, the trainee is given the gift of lycanthropy and accepted into the ranks.

They typically do not fight for conquest, but rather for the glory and thrill of combat, meaning they have waged war against several countries for very little reason and with surprisingly lenient peace deals.

## The Four Cloaks

There are multiple sub-factions within the Order of Wulfrum, and a person shows their allegiance with a faction by wearing a colored cloak. There are four main factions: Red Cloaks, Black Cloaks, White Cloaks and Gold Cloaks.

### Red Cloaks: *die* *alten Ritter*

Red Cloaks are the largest and oldest faction, with their ranks encompassing over half of the Order. They are fairly traditional and value honor over combat prowess. They believe that the Grandmaster should be both honorable and a masterful warrior.

### Black Cloaks: *das Eroberer*

Black Cloaks take up roughly a sixth of the Order. They value pure combat prowess over all. They believe the strongest and most powerful warrior should be Grandmaster, and are of the opinion that war is nothing without conquest.

### White Cloaks: *die Reformisten*

White Cloaks take up roughly a little less than a sixth of the Order. They believe that the Headmaster should be an honorable and trustworthy man, and that the Order should be a reliable and trustworthy organization. They do not approve of war for the sake of sport, and would rather the wars be for some greater purpose. They would prefer the order behave more like an ordinary country. This makes them typically disliked by the Red Cloaks and thoroughly despised by the Black Cloak

### Gold Cloaks: *die Imperialisten*

Gold Cloaks are very small and the newest faction within the Order. They formed in 986AC, and they are firm believers that the Order should revive the old Tathorian Empire. Many members have suggested joining the Coalition, as they see them as legitimate heirs to the Imperial Crown and the Order historically served and thrived under the Empire. They are unique in that you are allowed to be both a Gold Cloak and another faction, as golden trim is the minimum required to show your allegiance.
