Tribal Totem:
Grandfather Thunder

Initial Willpower: 3

Backgrounds:
May not buy Allies or Mentor

Beginning Tribal Gifts:
Aura of Confidence, Fatal Flaw, Seizing the Edge

Advantage:
Shadow Lords can socially outmanuver his oponnents with amazing skill.  By spending one Gnosis Trait, a Shadow Lord can temporarily gain an amount of Social Traits equal to their current Rank.  These Extra Traits can be used for a single Social Challenge per session.  This Advantage fails against a Garou with Equal or greater Traits in Pure Breed Background than the Character has.

Drawback:
The Shadow Lords are arrogant to the extreem, and this is reflected in the tribe's attitude toward's failure.  A Lord who fails in their assigned task is scorned and reviled; they loose an additional Renown Trait when she fails at a task (or, if that failure would still earn positive Renown, they earn one fewer Renown Traits).  If they would gain or loose Renown in more than one category, they loose it from the category which would have earned them the most Renown had they succeeded.

Wolf Form:
A Lupus-form Shadow Lord retains his hauteur and arrogance.  The Lord is typically black-furred and broad -shouldered, with an air of smoldering menace about them.  Most spend time as Lupus during bleak, rainy days.
