The lightless Stalker’s Moon grants Gifts of stealth and tracking, ways for an Irraka to disguise his own presence
even as he moves in for the kill.

===Soundless Strike (•)===
Using this Gift, the Irraka can strike in a single moment of blessed silence. Claws tear through flesh without
a sound, a victim’s mouth strains to form a scream that will not come. Though the moment of silence is fleeting, a
cunning Irraka can turn it into a great opportunity.

This Gift must be invoked during the Irraka’s turn
===See Heat (••)===
There’s more than one way to follow a trail, and this Gift opens the Irraka’s eyes to an entirely new realm of
experience. The Irraka becomes able to see his surroundings as patterns of heat — living creatures are warm, fire
almost blindingly bright, landscape features much cooler.

===Liars Brand (•••)===
One of the difficulties in deceiving other werewolves or spirits is that the spirit brands that mark Renown can
give an Irraka away. The Irraka who learns this Gift can cheat a little in this regard, masking his brands and the
Renown that they convey with illusion. Some are even skilled enough to alter their brands so that they can pass
for a member of the Pure Tribes rather than appearing to be marked by Luna.

Though this deception is far from what’s considered  honorable, nonetheless it is accepted as part of the Irraka’s
arsenal. An Irraka who uses this Gift too frequently to appear as more Renowned than he is might have difficulty
gaining Honor Renown in the future, but no single use of this Gift (particularly to appear more humble than he
actually is) carries dishonor by its very nature.

===Stolen Scent (••••)===
It’s one thing to leave no scent. It’s quite another to leave a misleading one. The Irraka with this Gift can alter
his scent however he likes, even going so far as leaving the scent of a rival at the scene of a murder. Given how many werewolves trust their noses before their eyes, this is no small thing.

===Strike Blind (•••••)===
The Irraka strives to deceive the senses of others, but isn’t above removing them entirely. This Gift enables the
Irraka to strike a foe blind, to make her go deaf or to rob her of her sense of smell. Any one of the three is a terrible
punishment for a werewolf, but human prey are particularly vulnerable to losing their sight.
