The Lodge of Namarrkun is a Lodge of the Storm Lords.
Overview[]
In Australia, a small (but nationwide) lodge is led by a reviled soul known as the Namarrkun. The Namarrkun leads a pack of Storm Lords - one of each moon sign - and for the last 10 years has ranged across the southern continent demanding that all Storm Lords do the same. To mix with other tribes is to dilute the strength of the Iminir, he claims. No other tribe is as noble or worthy as the Storm Lords, and to pack with members of the lesser tribes is opening oneself to potential weakness: a weakness others will see, and a weakness that shames every Storm Lord responsible. He insists he is blessed by Skolis-Ur for his adamant refusal to pack with the lesser tribes, and displays power over snow, storms, thunder and lightning that leads a terrifying weight to his fanatical claims.
No other werewolf in known Australian history has been remembered with as much awe and fear as the Namarrkun. His real name is unknown - the title given to him is the name of the lightning god within Aboriginal mythology.
A civil war rages between the Storm Lords of Australia, though it touches only those who encounter the Namarrkun's scattered packs. All-Lord packs battle other Forsaken in an attempt to force the Storm Lords present into leaving their packmates and joining the Lodge of Namarrkun, for initiation into their secret ways and an all-Iminir pack. The conflict has many names, with 'kin war' or 'storm war' being the most common.
Some Storm Lords have taken it upon themselves to organize a loose coalition of mixed-tribe packs and keep them informed about the Namarrkun's intentions, so as to coordinate a resistance. The problem is that the Lodge of Namarrkun is estimated at a few hundred werewolves in total, dispersed across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Tracking them down is exceedingly difficult, and a sudden assault by Storm Lords wielding hammers that beat thunderclaps is the only warring many Iminir have that their zealous tribemates are after their loyalty... or their blood.
