Carnages
Carnages are a tradition of the Brethren in which a Weakling or captured loner, (an NPC, most likely), is tortured, maimed, and ultimately slaughtered by a single wolf to appease the Deities' bloodthirst.
A Grim, Warmonger, Skullkeeper, Bloodletter, or Reaper are usually the ones to host a Carnage and do the dirty work. It is believed that the power of the canine killed in a Carnage is passed onto the canine who slaughtered them. Additionally, the host will keep a "souvenir," such an ear, eye, tongue, jaw, tail, claw, etc.
Carnages are popular events, and the entire Brethren will crowd around to see. It is typical for spectators to cheer, taunt, and outright yell. It's a sort of "cleansing" of bad thoughts, misfortune, and anger. Even Whelps are allowed to spectate. It is simply Brethren culture.
The longer a Carnage is drawn out, the better. The more blood that stains the grounds, the better. It is truly a gruesome event.
