While the stories about the Vrouw are vast and diverse, a set of commonalities exist regarding the Vrouw cult. Its members are said to be women with an abnormal viciousness that leads them to attack men. They either go naked or wear the skins of their slain husbands. They live and practice either in the depths of the forest or in the lesser maintained areas of cities. It is often said that the Vrouw live “in the dark”, and when a man goes into the dark he risks an encounter with the Vrouw.

  • While the stories about the Vrouw are vast and diverse, a set of commonalities exist regarding the Vrouw cult. Its members are said to be women with an abnormal viciousness that leads them to attack men. They either go naked or wear the skins of their slain husbands. They live and practice either in the depths of the forest or in the lesser maintained areas of cities. It is often said that the Vrouw live “in the dark”, and when a man goes into the dark he risks an encounter with the Vrouw. The Vrouw are said to lure young men away from their family groups and into the dark where they become vulnerable. How they do this varies and may be due to a magic song or simply the foolish desire for adventure that lives in all men. Upon capturing a man, the Vrouw may then kill him and consume his flesh in an effort to gain the strength of men through sympathetic magic or brainwash him and send him back to his family to try to bring other vulnerable men out “into the dark”. Xenosociologist Poul Wolff suggests that this teaches the valuable lesson that one should avoid unnecessary risk and not charge into the unknown without proper preparation. The Vrouw are said to have internal politics that impede their ability to commit murder on a large scale. Each member of the Vrouw is so power hungry that they will bicker and fight even amongst themselves. This internal conflict is said to be the only thing stopping them from pulling off mass androcide. This is perhaps an illustration of the Jiralhanae proverb that an enemy’s greatest strength is in turn that enemy’s greatest weakness, although some believe it to be a convenient limitation thought up by some later storyteller as a means of explaining why the Vrouw do not take a more active role if they are as dangerous as the stories would have us believe.
