No prey is more dangerous for the Uratha to hunt than their own reflection — another werewolf. They have the same strength, resilience, and spiritual prowess, the same tight bonds of pack and totem. The Forsaken may clash with other Urdaga and Ghost Wolves over territory or spiritual resources, over grudges and contrary schemes, but it is the Pure who provide their greatest foes.

The Pure Tribes reject the creed of the Forsaken and their bonds with Luna. Their reasons are many — some yearn for a return of the hunter’s paradise of Pangaea and blame the Warden Moon and the Forsakens’ forebears for its fall, while others refuse to believe that the Shadow must be kept in balance and see the Hisil as their true heritage. This rift between the Pure and the Forsaken is no mere family squabble — it is a bloody and brutal conflict, a guerrilla war that has been chewing up werewolves and spitting out their broken remains for millennia.
