Lougrim abhorred the use of poison on arrows, she felt it cheapened the hunt. The mages could wield it in their spells, but a hunter should produce smooth, quick kills, creating as little suffering as possible.
Most garou, in turn, would at first refuse to use poisons on their arrows. They followed her teachings, and they hunted swiftly and cleanly. After Lougrim’s fall it became clear just how foolish it was to seek such a merciful path, their new High Queen had made it clear that they should use all tools at their disposal.
