The tribal symbol of the Hunters in Darkness

The Hunters in Darkness (Meninna in the First Tongue, lit. "the crowned hunters") are one of the five Tribes of the Moon. They are primal stalkers who hold their territory to be sacrosact and protect it by the sacred calling of the Hunt.

Tribal Oath

Let No Sacred Place in Your Territory Be Violated. (Nu Mus Halhala in the First Tongue). Some Hunters focus on their home, at the site of their First Change, at the territory of their Pack, at a Locus, various historical places of importance or even their own mortal family, but in all cases the territory is sacred and to be protected. The First Tongue term the Hunters use for their territory is mus-rah, or “holy killing ground,” and they treat any violation of as a slight that must be avenged. What constitutes a violation also varies from from Hunter to another. Some may destroy only those who despoil loci or disrupt the Hisil, while others consider even the most clueless human presence a violation that warrants murderous retaliation.

Totem

The Hunters in Darkness revere Hikaon-Ur, Black Wolf, whom they also name the Silent Mother or Mother Wolf — a fact that doesn’t always sit well with the other tribes, who hold that title as one of Urfarah’s. The most withdrawn of Father Wolf’s children, she was nonetheless accounted as the finest hunter among the Firstborn. Her children praise her with every silent kill, with every carefully laid trap, and with every glimpse of the hunter that drives the prey to the killing ground.
