Camarilla
Camarilla is broad coalitions of vampires, formed in the late Middle Ages. In some ways it is the UN vampires, it was created to protect the vampires from the purges of the Inquisition, to adopt the traditions of Cain and put a great masquerade. Many of the brethren, remember the night when the vampires destroyed at its root, fanatically devoted to the Masquerade. Camarilla rejects the image of the vampire as a monstrous beast, offering instead a secret life in humans and prudent diet.
One of the principles of the Camarilla is the official denial of the existence of Cain, the second generation and the Patriarchs. The princes of the sect called, and sometimes even ordering, consider the legend of the vampire appears, only a legend, not having any real evidence.
Camarilla is huge and (in theory) is extremely powerful. But it consists of seven vampire clans, each of which has its own culture and ideals, which creates the ground for disagreement. The system of power in Camarillo is somewhat reminiscent of an unstable form of parliamentarism, so she decides to slow and often fluctuates during crises. However, combining their forces, Camarilla become, in fact, invincible.
Six Traditions
Vampires Camarilla swear to observe the six legendary tradition of Cain - the laws which Cain allegedly bequeathed to their descendants. Like other laws, traditions are often ignored, distorted or directly violated.
The First Tradition: The Masquerade
Thou shalt not reveal thy nature to those who are not your blood. If you do this, you will be deprived of the rights of your blood. The Second Tradition: The territory
Your territory belongs only to you. All the rest have to show respect for you, being within it. Your word - the law, while you are on its territory. The Third Tradition: Progeny
You can become Cyr another only with the permission of your Syrah. If you will create another without the permission of Syrah, you and your child will be destroyed. The Fourth Tradition: The responsibility
You create your own child. While your offspring will not become independent, you will manage it all. His transgressions - it is your responsibility. The Fifth Tradition: Hospitality. Respect other people's territory. Once in a strange city, you must introduce yourself to those who ruled it. If you will not be accepted - you are nothing. Sixth Tradition: Destruction
You should not destroy your other form. The right belongs only to the destruction of the elders. Only the elders can call to Blood Hunt. Community Camarilla
The hierarchy is very important in the world of vampires. In particular for Camarilla vampires who adhere to a carefully designed structure, maintain order among them.
Places where the vampires live (usually the city with their fringes) are divided into ownership. In each of possession of Prince - a powerful elder. He (or she) will bestow the younger vampire hunting territory within its possession. Vigil and the Inner Circle
The top of the power structure of the Camarilla - Inner Circle, consisting of seven representatives of the clans of the sect. Each vampire clan elected to the inner circle for various reasons and rules. Tremere usually delegated to the inner circle of one of the Council of the Seven Clan. Ventrue Inner Circle is the undisputed leader of his clan, being at the top of its hierarchy. The representative of the Gangrel just enjoys widespread respect in this, almost without having any power structure, clan. Inner Circle meets every 13 years and elect a vigil - those who are pursuing a policy in their Camarilla clans. Member of the Inner Circle is in office for an unlimited time - the resignation may be eventual death, the decision of the Inner Circle or voluntary withdrawal of the authority.
Power of Inner Circle and vigil virtually limitless. Vigil planned policy of the sect in all countries and regions of the world, has the right to appoint and dismiss the princes of the cities, to judge on behalf of the Camarilla. Orders and recommendations of the vigil are not negotiable and are executed immediately.
Archons
All the vigil have their trusted representatives - Archons. Typically, Archon is a descendant of vigil, but it happens that he even belongs to another clan. Often, but not always, Archon linked by ties of blood with his master. Archons - eyes, ears and hands of punishing vigil. Quite often, Archons - excellent fighters and terrifying, as the enemies of the sect, and inside it. Words are words archon his master and also not negotiable.
Prince
Vampire, the ruling in possession under the control of the Camarilla, called the prince. Usually it is a powerful vampire clan Ventrue and Toreador, although known Prince of the clans Brudzha, Nosferatu, and even Malkavian. The prince has absolute power to determine or select the Welcome area, or to declare any area off limits to hunting. Prince may declare any place Elysium (neutral ground on which fighting is prohibited) and may also call for a Blood Hunt for rebels and dissidents who have violated Six Traditions.
Usually princes controlled whole cities, and sometimes a small country, so there is Prince Paris, the Prince of Chicago, The Prince of Atlanta, The Prince of Switzerland, etc. Prince of the City often live in their possession for centuries, so he has enough time to build a solid structure of power and are usually well informed about what is happening in his city.
Noble
Prince is usually a group of advisors drawn from the most powerful elders of various clans. These are called the elders together "noble." Although, theoretically, absolute power of the prince, the prince, do not listen to the words of the noble, are usually quickly toppled or killed. Noble is always seeking to expand their rights and constantly weave intrigue against each other and against Duke.
Elders
The elders are vampires, the existing 300 and more years. During this time, they possessed many magical powers. Most of the elders of this terrible, terrible, treacherous, ruthless and suspicious substance. They are willing to do anything to retain their power and therefore oppress and manipulate the young converts vampires, destroying the competition.
Acolytes
For the elders, followed by ministers. They are usually from 100 to 300 years. It happens that some ambitious young vampires achieve this rank before. In keeping with its name, these vampires are usually the assistants and fiduciaries of the elders. Usually they have their own intrigue and conflict, of course, smaller than that of the elders.
Converts
More below the servants are vampires, created less than a century ago. Converts, despite the care which they sometimes are surrounded, are often used as small figures in the games crafty elders. Such callous treatment, exacerbated by the typical for the younger generation desire for independence, forcing the young vampires are often revolted against the actions of the elders. In addition, heavily imbued with sympathy for the old tyrant, born in an era separated from your time is usually more than 300 years.
Elysium
Many of the young vampires are considering the tradition of Elysium as boring and has survived time, but it is still one of the most observant among Cainite. Prince may declare part of your domain Elysium - a place without violence. These vampires come to simply enjoy the night, discuss among themselves and poplesti intrigue. Here also held important meetings between the vampires, so that every vampire at least once, but have been there, for example, to talk to Prince or elders. First of all, this playing field for the Elders and the young vampires should not forget about it. Elysium is protected by the "Pax Vampirica", which means that there should be no violence, and that Elysium is neutral territory. Of course, not everyone has the patience and here and there you can hear a sharp word, but from the vampires expected that they will keep your temper under. If a mutual apology is not enough, just the ringleaders expelled from the Elysium and asked to work on ourselves. If the situation gets out of control, then the prince may punish the ringleaders.
Typically, the Elysium is any building culture, such as theaters, museums, galleries and such. Frequently Elysium may be declared a nightclub or a shelter of some colleague. In any case, from visitors Elysium expected decent clothes and good behavior, at least for compliance with the Masquerade. Terms of Elysium extremely simple.
RULE
On the territory of violence is prohibited. (Many princes are long and prohibit the entry of arms, so as not to give rowdy chance to use it).
Rule Two
Under fear of eventual death is prohibited destruction of art. (By "art" was treated the same and creators of art, which makes the vampire clan Toreador first supporters of Elysium).
Rule Three
Elysium - neutral territory. (In this case, you should remember the most important rule: what happens for the aisles Elysium - is quite another matter. So, convert, offended the Elders, should try to find a way as possible, secretly and quietly leave Elysium.)
Rule Four
Always observe the Masquerade. (This is especially true hunting.)
Rule Five
To appear in the Elysium hungry is a sign of bad taste. Of course, a small refreshment sometimes lacking, but hunting around Elysium may also cause suspicion. If Fellow leads to Elysium guest, he is responsible for his behavior.

Sabbath
Sabbath - a bloodthirsty and grim sect, eternal enemies of the Camarilla. Independent clans and clans of the Camarilla consider them savages and wild crowd of bloodthirsty monsters. All other clans are equally consider Sabbat spawn of the devil, and not in vain. While the Camarilla is trying to hide among mortals, and save the pathetic remnant of his humanity, Sabbath preaches a very different philosophy. Vampires Sabbat will not feed on people as the last dog and allow edit a cowshed Elders. Rather, they revel in their immortality and do not consider him a curse.
Initially, the Sabbat has collected the remnants of the defeated members of the Great Mutiny, and eventually evolved into something more deadly. Sabbat aims to "liberation" of all vampires from the shackles of the Patriarchs and their lackeys - the Camarilla and its leaders. Sabbat believes in the legend of Cain and the Patriarch, so its members prefer to call themselves Cainite.
Adhering to strict principles of Social Darwinism, the members of the Sabbat defend the dogma of the superiority of vampires - the doctrine that the vampires being the top of the food pyramid should not hide from death, but rather openly dominate them. This attitude toward people often manifests itself in actions that are in terms of horrific and violent death. Therefore, to the Sabbat often joined the group of desperate villains who violate Traditions Camarilla.
Sabbat believes he is above mortals, but mortals are only needed for food and entertainment. After all, vampires are supernatural forces that can help them manage the crowd. Who needs a stupid morality of the death, especially if you are immortal vampire and a monster. But that does not mean that the Sabbath is simply doing whatever he likes. Vampires Sabbat quite different, and this is reflected in their actions.
Vampires Sabbat do not want to deal with people or with those who themselves for them to be. People are seen only in the form of food, something like pets. And the vampires who hide their true self, they are generally despised. Many of them may leave town and go to the hard journey. In this situation the Sabbat still quite tense, and she suffers from that sect. Those cities that are under the authority of the Sabbat, is a hotbed of violence and depravity. Every night, are a huge number of murders, rapes and robberies. And even worse for those cities, who are fighting Camarilla and Sabbat at the same time. Mexico City, Detroit, Miami and Montreal are completely under the control of the Sabbat. In New York, Atlanta and Washington battles not over yet.
Thus, the Sabbath was ruining every city, which comes into contact. It develops as a malignant tumor. First, very quietly, and then, when across the city plagued by militant groups, it becomes too late. Maybe Sabbath is not "meaner" many psyched Camarilla Elders, but he seemed to be more conspicuous. He planned terrorizes a human population of the city and destroys it.
Increasingly Sabbath defeats Camarillo. Many of the young vampires in protest over the power of the Elders join promising and powerful Sabbat. Many cities that were once the possession Camarilla, are now the home of the Sabbat, or are so to speak in a lose-lose situation. Camarilla Princes fear that the growing power of the Sabbat, and not in vain. After all, life is now all the vampires in the city can be at stake. On this Sabbat agents in the cities Camarilla can not wait for no mercy. They were mercilessly hunted down and destroyed by the Duke and the Elders.
The Code of Milan
The Code of Milan, as a basic set of laws Sabbat was originally established in 1493 In 1933, following several civil wars within the sect that broke out after the division of spheres of influence in North America, the text of the Code was reformed.

The oath of fidelity, committing correctly follow all the rules imposed by the Code for the prosperity of the Sabbat, was brought in as regent and the Consistory in the presence of leaders of all factions and fifty other witnesses. The revised Code of Milan agreed with the majority faction Sabbat. All the other factions are obliged to declare either to adopt the revised Code of Milan, or to secede from the Sabbat.

Organization Sabbat
The basis of a pack of Sabbat. Bunch of vampires, who at least nominally have a common goal. Flocks of the Sabbat can wander from town to town, leaving behind only the pain and destruction. Or does such a flock may settle in the city and there to do their dark matter.
In apparent at first glance, the chaos in the Sabbat, in this cult over the centuries of its existence has developed its own organizational structure and power. In many ways, this contributed to the vampire clan Lasombra is predicated on the organization of the Catholic Church. The ideals of liberty, for participants who fought the Great Mutiny, and who continues to follow the Sabbath, embodied in the recognition of a double standard member Sabbat. Each Sabbat is primarily a member of his flock, and only then a member of any echelon of power of the sect. Even the Regent and the Seraphim could theoretically be at lower levels of hierarchy in their flocks, and at the same time enjoy the privileges of the leaders of the sect. Although, of course, the age of the vampire, and acquired with experience and power, exert their influence.
The entire organization Sabbat turn around the principle of dual loyalty and freedom. Vampires can do basically whatever they want, but they must remain loyal to the Sabbat. Most Sabbat hates all these terrible stories of the patriarchs and tries to find a way to stop the hell, or at least survive it. The two main clan Sabbat - Lasombra and Tzimitsu - Diablerie carried away and destroyed almost all the elders of his clan. All the other vampires follow and obey them, hoping one day to do the same.
Internal fighting, intrigue and power struggles within the Sabbat tear, for every step forward he makes two ago. This sect is not present, inclusive leadership.
Sabbat vampires themselves claim that they are like "antiklanami. Of course, excluding Lasombra and Tzimitsu. Many vampires dedicate themselves to Satanism, Voodoo and other religions are not very popular. Perversions and cruelty are the favorite tools of the Sabbat, and they use this competently.
Regent
Regent is responsible for large-scale plans and strategy of the sect. Board of powerful vampires called the Consistory, supports it. As a symbol of the power of the Sabbat, he has little real power over the sect as a whole, and often despised by the younger vampire as a figure representing the power (and, therefore, provides exactly what is fighting against the Sabbat). Among the duties of the Regent: the choice of tactics used, view reports, adjustment of relationships between members of the top echelon of the sect and the preparation of conspiracies against the enemies inside and outside the sect. Over the Sabbat existence was only four Regent. Since 1995 he is an apostate Melinda Galbraith clan Toreador 5-th generation (other sources Lasombra 4 th generation).
Cardinals
The cardinals are responsible for the affairs of the Sabbat in vast territories. By themselves, they have archbishops, who care about issues at regional levels. The task of the Cardinals - to promote business and lead the Sabbat Crusades. It is their task - to spread the influence of the Sabbat on the new cities and regions. The capture of the city difficult task - the acquisition of a new city, can take years of preparation and planning. Cardinals also must ensure that the newly acquired city nebyli turned into gadyushniki zealous masses of the Sabbat, as it would reduce their value.
Primate
Primate - powerful vampires, selected Consistory for his invaluable contribution to the affairs of the sect. Although many primate reaches a certain level of political influence, but, ultimately, they are not responsible for the control of any domain, or coordinating attacks and military action. Primate - Advisers to the Sabbat, share their wisdom with the cardinals, archbishops and regent. Most primates are from clan Lasombra, Tzimitsu or apostates Toreador, and many of them during his lifetime were the lords, strategy, and conquerors. There is no younger than 200 years of primates, suggesting the difficulty of achieving this rank.
Archbishops
Archbishops appointed cardinals serve as leaders in specific cities or regions. Archbishops are accountable to them, and must also ensure that the interests of the Sabbat in the city. Most archbishops support Masquerade, though not as severe as the Camarilla. In the end, the Sabbat are not idiots. They may despise death, but they will pose a serious danger, if I ever decide to rebel against Cainite. Archbishop - as the spiritual leader of the city, and most of them were priests flocks, before they became archbishop. Therefore, archbishops oversee or actively participate in many manic bouts within their city, and are also responsible for local Unwritten rituals.
Bishops
If a city does not have the Archbishop thereof, a council of bishops 3-5. Usually, younger bishops and archbishops inexperienced. So they are going to the boards, where the ability of some, compensate the shortcomings of others. Although the idea of bishops should complement each other, but if going together several strong leaders, it leads to a logical friction. Therefore, the bishops, reporting directly to the Cardinals, can easily specify the "problem" the bishops took their place. Like the archbishops, bishops are responsible for the spiritual growth Cainite (in addition to administrative duties). Also, like the archbishop, bishops in the past, many priests were flocks, but often and former leader.
Marshals
The leaders - leaders of Sabbat packs are responsible for "routine" cases and problems of individual flocks. They pose challenges to the members of the flock, and judge the development of the pack. The leaders also organize regular Esbaty to maintain the unity of the flock and take part in the ritual.
Clergy
Priests - the spiritual leaders of flocks. They exercise control over the rituals flocks, and keep from becoming members of the flock on the path infernalizma. Priest flocks as the second largest in the team, and if the marshal was killed, he becomes the temporary leader of the pack until a new marshal is elected. The rituals, performed by Priest packs are designed to strengthen loyalty to each other and sect. Rituals may vary from flock to flock, the priest uses different sets, or create your own. There are rituals that knows and uses every priest. The most famous - fraternization.
Paladins
Otherwise - the Templars and Templar. With deadly bodyguards who serve elders in Sabbat. They have no organization, having the right to do more than anyone else. Being named Templar - a great honor, this proves that you are strong and skilled fighter. Templars allowed membership in the Black Hand because of conflicts of interest.
Black Hand
Black Hand - is an elite military force at the disposal of the elders of the Sabbat. A kind of team "black beret". They specialize in such methods of war, murder, intrigue, intelligence, terrorism, violations of Masquerade, as well as in close-quarter combat. Members of the Black Hand are encouraged only when a large need, or at the importance of goals, usually by small teams who have never remain active for long periods of time. Although the Black Hand Sabbat is true, some elders are afraid that if the Black Hand will ever be called upon as a whole, it may try to take away their power.
Black Hand has a rigid hierarchy, based, as well as personal power, and on the abilities of its members. At the bottom are ordinary artists: masters of melee combat, reconnaissance, killers, masters Thaumaturgo. Above them are looking to that govern the actions of the Black Hands on a territory the size of a large area or several small countries bordering each other. The Dominions are staring over the driving regions. At the top of the hierarchy are four Seraphim. It is believed that the Seraphim are subject Regent of the Sabbat, but in fact he can only ask them for help in solving the problems of the sect.
Inquisition
Sabbat Inquisition - a group for the detection and punishment infernalistov in the ranks of the Sabbat. The Inquisition arose after the Sabbath noticed an increase in the number of members of the sect, following by revelation of Evil (thus communicating with employees and demons). Inquisitors have a big enough power, they are free to come and go, usually appear suddenly, without warning, so as not to give the perpetrator a chance to prepare for its appearance. Vampire accused infernalizme can be branded, torn to pieces, beaten, burned, and generally tortured. On the other hand, the vampire pleaded guilty, will experience an infinitely slow and extremely painful ultimate death.
Rituals
After the establishment of Sabbat vampires are buried without further conversation. Follow-up ritual, during which the vampire must dig itself out of his grave, must deprive him of the last vestiges of his humanity. After that, he was ready to join his comrades in the Sabbat as a monster, and not as a weak little man. This is painted in a ritual called the ceremony was. Through him, as vampires are other sects that betrayed a desire to join the Sabbat.
Sabbat Rituals are divided into two groups - written and unwritten rituals. Provinces, must comply with all members of the sect, unwritten usually arise in different flocks and practiced only by them.
Sabbat attempt to bribe or intimidate those who get in his way. Many of the rituals and practices of the sect are very similar to the rituals of the Catholic Church. During one of these rituals, all the vampires in the pack one by one drink a mixture of the total blood in the proof of loyalty to each other (fraternization). In addition to practicing Shabote many other rituals, the most important attributes that can serve as blood, fire, serpents, corpses and the like. The main purpose of these rituals - as close as possible to bring together the Vampire Sabbat each other and increase the confidence in each other.
Initially, the Sabbat has collected the remnants of the defeated members of the Great Mutiny, and eventually evolved into something more deadly. Sabbat aims to "liberation" of all vampires from the shackles of the Patriarchs and their lackeys - the Camarilla and its leaders. Sabbat believes in the legend of Cain and the Patriarch, so its members prefer to call themselves Cainite.

Although the idea of bishops should complement each other, but if going together several strong leaders, it leads to a logical friction. Therefore, the bishops, reporting directly to the Cardinals, can easily specify the "problem" the bishops took their place. Like the archbishops, bishops are responsible for the spiritual growth Cainite (in addition to administrative duties). Also, like the archbishop, bishops in the past, many priests were flocks, but often and former leader.
Marshals
The leaders - leaders of Sabbat packs are responsible for "routine" cases and problems of individual flocks. They pose challenges to the members of the flock, and judge the development of the pack. The leaders also organize regular Esbaty to maintain the unity of the flock and take part in the ritual.
Clergy
Priests - the spiritual leaders of flocks. They exercise control over the rituals flocks, and keep from becoming members of the flock on the path infernalizma. Priest flocks as the second largest in the team, and if the marshal was killed, he becomes the temporary leader of the pack until a new marshal is elected. The rituals, performed by Priest packs are designed to strengthen loyalty to each other and sect. Rituals may vary from flock to flock, the priest uses different sets, or create your own. There are rituals that knows and uses every priest. The most famous - fraternization.
Paladins
Otherwise - the Templars and Templar. With deadly bodyguards who serve elders in Sabbat. They have no organization, having the right to do more than anyone else. Being named Templar - a great honor, this proves that you are strong and skilled fighter. Templars allowed membership in the Black Hand because of conflicts of interest.
Black Hand
Black Hand - is an elite military force at the disposal of the elders of the Sabbat. A kind of team "black beret". They specialize in such methods of war, murder, intrigue, intelligence, terrorism, violations of Masquerade, as well as in close-quarter combat. Members of the Black Hand are encouraged only when a large need, or at the importance of goals, usually by small teams who have never remain active for long periods of time. Although the Black Hand Sabbat is true, some elders are afraid that if the Black Hand will ever be called upon as a whole, it may try to take away their power.
Black Hand has a rigid hierarchy, based, as well as personal power, and on the abilities of its members. At the bottom are ordinary artists: masters of melee combat, reconnaissance, killers, masters Thaumaturgo. Above them are looking to that govern the actions of the Black Hands on a territory the size of a large area or several small countries bordering each other. The Dominions are staring over the driving regions. At the top of the hierarchy are four Seraphim. It is believed that the Seraphim are subject Regent of the Sabbat, but in fact he can only ask them for help in solving the problems of the sect.
Inquisition
Sabbat Inquisition - a group for the detection and punishment infernalistov in the ranks of the Sabbat. The Inquisition arose after the Sabbath noticed an increase in the number of members of the sect, following by revelation of Evil (thus communicating with employees and demons). Inquisitors have a big enough power, they are free to come and go, usually appear suddenly, without warning, so as not to give the perpetrator a chance to prepare for its appearance. Vampire accused infernalizme can be branded, torn to pieces, beaten, burned, and generally tortured. On the other hand, the vampire pleaded guilty, will experience an infinitely slow and extremely painful ultimate death.
Rituals
After the establishment of Sabbat vampires are buried without further conversation. Follow-up ritual, during which the vampire must dig itself out of his grave, must deprive him of the last vestiges of his humanity. After that, he was ready to join his comrades in the Sabbat as a monster, and not as a weak little man. This is painted in a ritual called the ceremony was. Through him, as vampires are other sects that betrayed a desire to join the Sabbat.
Sabbat Rituals are divided into two groups - written and unwritten rituals. Provinces, must comply with all members of the sect, unwritten usually arise in different flocks and practiced only by them.
Sabbat attempt to bribe or intimidate those who get in his way. Many of the rituals and practices of the sect are very similar to the rituals of the Catholic Church. During one of these rituals, all the vampires in the pack one by one drink a mixture of the total blood in the proof of loyalty to each other (fraternization). In addition to practicing Shabote many other rituals, the most important attributes that can serve as blood, fire, serpents, corpses and the like. The main purpose of these rituals - as close as possible to bring together the Vampire Sabbat each other and increase the confidence in each other.
Sabbat Clans
Sabbat Clans
The basis of the Sabbat clans are Tzimitsu and Lasombra. But besides them have joined the vampires from other clans, known as renegades. Some of them are treated as separate lines of blood, because are different from the major clans features - the weakness, clan discipline, which are transmitted to their descendants.
Lasombra (Lasombra)
Clan Lasombra fell into disfavor, and its members enjoy it. At the same time courageous and predatory Sabbat Lasombra do so than it is now - if you want, even with the help of the whip. Lasombra completely abandon the people whom they once were, and fully understand the darkness that had settled in their minds. Murder, violence, lust for blood. Why do I fear these things, ask yourself Lasombra, if you are destined to be a vampire? But unlike Tzimitsu, they do not reject the whole humanity, that they left. They use it according to your mood.
Ever since the establishment of the church Lasombra involved with it, many Cainites whispers say that the clan responsible for the spread of Christianity. However, in our time the clan turned away from the church and almost never associated with it. Of course, there are exceptions, but many Lasombra do not believe in the possible salvation and forgiveness of sins. And indeed, it is a Sabbat Lasombra brought many of the rituals of the church and made them parodies of Christian doctrine.
Most Lasombra are known for their discipline authority over his shadow. With this discipline, they can cause a "living" darkness, and they wish to give it shape and manage it. The doctrine of the clan says that because of this "darkness" is a soul vampire. They believe that because of the curse of Cain God disliked all vampires, and now Lasombra must correct this injustice with the help of the Sabbat, establishing their power on Earth. According to scientific thinking Lasombra certainly do not believe in these superstitions, but they agree that vampires are a higher stage in human development than people. Of course, not all vampires of this clan hold this view, but almost all of the Sabbat Lasombra, especially those who have just become a vampire, are under immense pleasure from the senseless brutality and destruction. And all this they permit their philosophy. But unlike the young, many old Lasombra still maintain contact with the church, although they see in themselves only a "tool of the devil." These two groups agree with each other in one thing: they do not want to obey the Patriarch and the other very old vampires. They are proud to take part in Jihad, but unlike other Lasombra firmly believe that they can win.
The typical Lasombra - great arm and has great leadership ability. Lasombra often occupy leading positions in the Sabbat. But the pride of purely goes hand in hand with the black pride, and that's just not many Lasombra acknowledge other vampires equals or above themselves.
They are often interested in politics and well educated. Lasombra tend to be physically and socially more aggressive. Clans are not interested weaklings, and he did not miss a chance to clean out its ranks are incapable of existence of vampires. Lasombra are usually very capable of manipulating others and are familiar with the intricacies of high society - bad manners here are low, as Lasombra very cultural monsters.
Nickname: Keepers.
Sect: Lasombra are the rulers of the Sabbat. Is it even possible to say that the clan "led" this chaotic band. Several elders Lasombra participate in Camarillo or Inconnu, but these creatures live very lonely and in danger.
Appearance: Many Lasombra older occurred from Italy or Spain. Infants and vassals Lasombra may come from all nationalities and cultures. Almost all Lasombra are relatively attractive and aristocratic manners. Employed Lasombra - a great rarity.
Shelter: Many young Lasombra prefer a private apartment of a public asylum. Most often they are there and sleep. Keepers very difficult to change their old habits. Many elders still contain family palaces or something like that.
Weaknesses: Lasombra Clan members are not visible in the mirrors and other similar surfaces, such as water, glass and mercury. Their images do not appear in photographs and film. This allows them to easily spoof security cameras, but it is insignificant price for the constant risk of being exposed. This is true as well, and clothing that they wear on me. Many believe that in this way Lasombra damned for their vanity. In addition to this all Lasombra receive more damage from the sun.
Organization: The structure of the clan Lasombra both formal and open. The old clan wars are treated with reverence and respect for what they helped to found the Sabbat, but younger vampires prefer to work without nominal assistance clan. Each quarter, held a meeting of the clan. They are used to exchange information on the reclassification of certain rituals and for general exchange of blood. Despite the fact that none Lasombra never hear "that you do not have (at least officially), they all deeply respect the traditions. According to rumors in the clan has a secret group of vampires called "Les Amis Noris". They have the right to impose the death penalty members of the clan, who somehow attracted the attention of the clan, damaged his reputation or disgrace him.
Subjects: power, power over the Shadow, Domination.
Tzimitsu (Tzimisce)
Angry perverted demons, enjoying the torture and transformations of flesh into the most strange things known in the world of vampires. They love the sound of screams in the night, madly committed within its territory, but very hospitable, and when given permission to visit. They can transform themselves and anyone within reach of the most beautiful or the most heinous creation, I've ever seen on this planet.
If the clan Lasombra - the heart of the Sabbat, Clan Tzimitsu - soul. Even other vampires do not feel comfortable close to these ominous Cainite, and clan nicknamed "Demons" was given to them in last night horrified Cainite other genera. Prerogative Tzimitsu - discipline variability - the subject of special horror stories tell of female genital defacement inflicted on a whim, and the terrible "experiments" and tortures beyond human or vampire understanding and patience. This fearsome reputation often seems at first devoid of foundation. Many Tzimitsu - discreet and discerning a long distance from the frenzied warriors that make up the majority of the Sabbat. As a rule, Tzimitsu are rational beings, threatening the intellectual, the owner of judicious and scientific-minded and extremely hospitable. Relatives of communicating with Tzimitsu, however, quickly realize that the human qualities of demons - just gloss over something ... others. Millennium demons studied and kept his understanding vampire state, changing your body and mind to new and strange patterns. Will it be necessary, is whether education or simply nice Tzimitsu not hesitate to change and sacrifice in the same way. At that time, the young demons can be described as "ruthless" and "sadists," the senior in the family simply can not distinguish between compassion and suffering - or different, but they no longer see the importance of emotions.
In last night's Tzimitsu were among the most powerful clans of the world, owning most of the region now known as Eastern Europe. Powerful wizards, demons and possessed mortals in the region, inspiring a lot of horror stories about vampires. Clan of the clan tried to throw Tzimitsu, but the success achieved sorcerers order three. In fact, we are told, the three prisoners alive Tzimitsu used in their experiments to achieve immortality. During this Tzimitsu blindly hate the three, and those who are in chains of the Sabbat, usually meet a horrible end in the clutches of demons.
During the Great Rebellion Rebels, clan Tzimitsu again reached the peak, because it is the younger clan members opened the mystical basis of discontinuity Uz Blood, holding them in the service of elders. In the ensuing struggle, young demons destroyed many of their elders and demolished what was left of their power. Some of the Sabbat whisper that the clan was able to find and destroy its patriarch, however, the demons did not confirm nor deny this tale.
Now Tzimitsu serve the Sabbat as scholars, advisors and chaplains. Much of that has practiced the sect, comes from the clan. Exploring the possibilities and limitations of vampirism, the clan hopes to open the great goal of the Brotherhood in general. The total there is destruction of the ancient patriarchs, the destruction of the Camarilla and the vivisection of millions of victims .. - All experiments have their consequences.
If a half-dozen Tzimitsu appear in Camarillo, it will be a big surprise. The vast majority belong to the clan of the Sabbat, the remaining apolitical in the extreme. The mere presence of three in the sect guarantees Tzimitsu lack of interest in it. Those few, very few Tzimitsu who prepared to join forces with the camarilla did so for purely personal reasons (say, to avenge the "death" defeat or use the Camarilla as a field of activity in the strife within the Sabbat). But even in these conditions, a few brave Tzimitsu Camarilla not advertise their presence, do not play a leading role in the sect and do not stay when their personal goals achieved.

Sect: Most Tzimitsu serve the Sabbat. Some powerful elders Tzimitsu achieved independence, and joined Inconnu. Almost none of their in Camarillo, even the demons are not sympathetic to the Sabbat, the Camarilla are hiding in the mass death tasteless.
Appearance: As masters of discipline variability, Tzimitsu often have an amazing look - beautiful or grotesque, depending on the willingness of the demon. Junior Tzimitsu wishing to explore its inhuman nature, make all possible physical modifications on themselves. While their elders often prefer symmetrical flawless form - the body, in the end, only a fragile and very useful mechanism. Their faces are often a mask of pure perfection. Demons are usually seldom laugh, though some are known chuckle, in particular, during the commission of complex experiments.
Asylum: Tzimitsu - exclusively confined creatures great value on the integrity of asylum. In fact, the clan has a whole series of complex protocols relating to hospitality. Guests invited to the shelter demon reserved non-life master, offenders prosecuted privacy even at the edge of the world and punished disgusting and slow. Surprisingly, shelter or "monastery" Tzimitsu not necessarily comfortable and well maintained compared to the apartments of Ventrue and Toreador. Facilities deadly little meaning for them.
Offspring: Rise of Tzimitsu rarely give spontaneously, selection of offspring affects the Seer, so the demons are choosing only those who they feel has the opportunity to develop the clan as a whole. "Shine" and "insight" especially prized, and express it shine and insight in the offspring of a scientific theory or serial murder - a distinction pushover.
Weaknesses: Tzimitsu very territorial, occupying a certain asylum and fiercely protect it. When Tzimitsu sleeps, he must surround himself with at least two handfuls of earth from a place so important to her as a death - perhaps his place of birth or the cemetery, where he held his ceremony was.
Organization: Despite Tzimitsu proud of their heritage and customs, the organization of the clan is underdeveloped. Sira and converts are closer than most Sabbat vampires, but in general, each demon he paves his way in the world. One of the demons is an ancient title of Governors of provinces; Voivod - nominal leader of the clan, although in practice he acts more as a "priest" or ritual leader, as interim governor.

Organization: The Departed Assamite creates a structure similar to the major clans. This structure is not similar to the usual hierarchy of the Sabbat. The oldest member of the clan gets the title Hoolulu. Every 100 years, The Departed Assamite ritually destroy Hoolulu and choose new, who drinks the blood of his predecessor. Hoolulu governs the rest of the clan, relying on the advice Shakarim and other members of the clan elders.

If a Malkavian Camarilla try every effort to restrain them from rushing into madness and not give rise to seize the Beast from the soul, Sabbat Malkavian free from these fetters. Most of them simply buynopomeshannye and completely unaware of their actions, insane madmen. Possession of discipline Sabbat Malkavian Madness makes a terrible weapon in the hands of the rulers of the sect. Often they are kept chained in basements and other secluded places, drawing on the "light" during the military campaigns and sending in the thick of enemies.

Impressed by this performance, many elders of the Sabbat have agreed to these requirements. During the following years, Pander, as we now call Kaitiffov the Sabbat, where bloodshed, where diplomats have recognition of their rights in many cities, where the rules of Sabbath.
Despite this Pander still do not have a significant impact in the hierarchy of the Sabbat and prefer to roost in flocks, consisting only of them.

The oldest member of the clan gets the title Hoolulu. Every 100 years, The Departed Assamite ritually destroy Hoolulu and choose new, who drinks the blood of his predecessor.

Most of them simply buynopomeshannye and completely unaware of their actions, insane madmen.

Vampire believed.
Fears of vampires led them invented all of his own weakness and to calm her a thousand ways to protect yourself, and that the most outrageous - Taking a pseudo-vampires, most ordinary people, for the present, lowered the real physical and mental ability to real vampires, likened them to a certain wild bloodthirsty zombies - bloodsuckers, grunting in their graves ...
Belief in vampires existed for all humanity in all corners of the world. Everywhere knew about walking dead, those who drink the blood of living people. The image of vampires from the old beliefs can not be ascribed to any one particular defined. In different places had their own ways of combating''undead''. Vampires different countries and regions have their peculiarities, their strengths and weaknesses. Overall it was just that they were rebels from the dead and in support of its existence, forced to be harmful to living things, mainly to drink human blood.
In fact, the real vampire to be, but the religious prejudices of the ignorant, frightened men have created many images of the peculiar sort of wild monsters, and plague has played no small role in their formation. I wish to notice that the peaks of the epidemics of vampirism occurred just at the peaks of the epidemics of plague, when people were buried alive, thinking that they are dead ...
A general idea of vampires, what they created and saw people in ancient times. Still, many of the following can be considered for the truth ...
1. An overview of the VAMPIRE
According to legends, people become vampires after they are attacked another vampire. The bitten person is infected with vampirism,''infected''and immediately finds eternal life, but in order to maintain its existence, would be doomed to a permanent''thirst for blood.''
Montague Summers wrote:''This living corpse, has a body which is his own body. He is neither dead nor alive, but living in death. He - an anomaly; androgyne in the world of ghosts, monsters,''pariah among
Vampire destined to roam the earth, every night searching a new victim. It has many mysterious ways to help in this matter. The first - to change the shape of the body. Buried vampires do not need to always dig like moles, the yield on the surface. It can''leak''up through the earth and, once on the surface, take the old form ...
In its request vampire, only if it is old and very strong, may become a wolf, bat, cat, rat, moreover, he sees in the dark and wears the speed of light, the vampire has the superhuman strength and, optionally, can raise the gravestone. But on the eve of St. Andrew at the Moldovans may be kept from wearing your own tombstone ...
A vampire can climb any wall, crawl through the window and even penetrate into the room through the keyhole. If you do not take special measures, a man never can be completely safe from ghosts. And the most dangerous spot - the former home of a vampire. Agents of darkness tend to visit first and foremost members of his family: husbands - wives, wives - husbands. Young girls looking for ex-boyfriend. All vampires, irrespective of gender prefer young, healthy and attractive victims - their blood nourishing and healthful.
Vampires are able to subdue the various nocturnal creatures. Vampires can be harder to subdue and people to manage their thoughts for their own purposes. Dracula is not unknown, for example, kept a pack of wolves who defended his castle and discouraging unwanted visitors. He also had a hypnotic power over people, denying them the opportunity to resist and remember what happened ...
''Some vampires have a nasty habit of knocking at the door, sit at the table, and announce the death of someone or from being with him in the same room. We must never refuse a vampire in food: hungry and pissed because he can pounce on their children and immediately eat them ...'' - Roland Villeneuve. This confirms an excerpt from''Jewish''letters (letter 137), contained the House of Calmette.
Mortal enemy of vampires - the sun. To fall under the open sun for them - anyway, that enter into the blazing furnace. To the article, a powerful fire can also destroy the vampire. Thus, the religion, which, for whatever reasons forbid cremation, exposes its adherents risk vampirism. Vampires can leave his home only after dark, in the morning are obliged to return to their graves or crypts, where they have the whole day will be safe. But the moonlight, by contrast, gives the vampire effect, shows the way ... Assumed that vampires do not endure the smell garlic, do not tolerate the crucifixes and other holy relics. Vampires are deprived of their shadows, can not be reflected in the mirrors. Initially, as Rosette Dyubal wrote in his thorough''''Psychoanalysis Devil, demons, ghosts, ghosts and witches were Shadow, evil and vengeful spirits, and it is on this basis can be discerned. In many parts of Russia was considered as that of the devil himself is no shadow ... Vampires can not cross flowing water can not come to a new residence without their invitation to go there ...
Kind of a vampire, writes Montague Summers, repulsive: waking he skinny and hairy, and when nasosetsya becomes so fat that he almost bursts of satiety. Fresh blood oozing from his mouth, nose, and ears. His body is always icy, loose skin always keeps deadly - pale phosphorescent hue, but his lips were red and sensual, and between them sparkle protruding sharp teeth. Nails, curved like claws a bird of prey, dirty, and ooze blood, and his monstrous evil-smelling breath circulate the smell of decay, rotting flesh. Finally, his hair was red, like Tithonus, of Cain and Judas Iskariotazh. In a word, nice description. It is suitable not only the European vampire, but all kinds of vampires.
The Chinese terrible claws, bloodshot eyes and swollen lips. They attack women and kill babies. Burmese and Japanese vampires devour the soul. Indian Vetal visits places of cremation, and looks for the body, which he could take over. In Tibetan''eaters of dead''and''masters''of cemeteries bloody eyes and green lips. In Asante vampires at night emit a phosphorescent light, and they roam the woods, just like their relatives in ancient Mexico, which are under the patronage of the god Tezcat and in the case takes the shape of a wolf.
3. How to recognize VAMPIRE who can become them
The first sign of vampirism was considered certainly incorrupt body for which the veins remain flexible, the second - the blood trickling from the body and a number of other features.
Grunting and sloshing sounds coming from the tomb pointed to a vampire in it. Vikings prestavali hear them once in accordance with their customs, were killed Ground nostrils and mouths of the dead. According to Michael Ranft and Phillip Reriusa, vampire chewing their own flesh or foul ground, and another is preparing to spread the plague in an abandoned world:''During the plague epidemics of the devil is betrayed awful games in the depths of the grave, then noticed that the lips of the dead, especially women and publish grunt like that, with some pigs consume feed, this grunting contagion spreads far and as soon as they hear a, plague begins to wreak havoc with a vengeance, it usually takes women one after another.''.
During epidemics of plague people seriously believed that it was the vampires were to blame for it and actively participated in digging the graves of all suspected for the destruction of these. ''So, we must distinguish between vampires, among other dead, if you do not want to dig all cemeteries, both in the XVIII century''- Roland Villeneuve. Home Calmette tells flawless Hungarian method for recognizing a vampire, not previously mentioned in any manual:
''It is necessary to choose a boy of that age, that he did not know yet carnal acts, in other words - a virgin. He should be put on the naked intact horse, never covered the mare, and, moreover, a black suit, spotless, take a horse to the cemetery and hold over all the graves, where the horse refuses to go, as if his or whipped, is a vampire, and when open a tomb, a corpse in it will be smooth and fresh, as if sleeping in a peaceful and serene sleeping man. We must cut through his throat with a spade, and pour out bright red blood, and in large numbers, as if slaughtered quite a healthy person. After that the grave should be asleep, and then you can count on the fact that evil will intersect, and all affected him little by little - gradually return to power, as happens to people recovering from a long debilitating illness.''
We can also produce a graveyard of white stud colt that has never stumbled. It is believed that the horse step over all the graves, except for''evil''. If a dead body looks healthy and decayed - she is a vampire. If he had just quenched your thirst, then, according to experts, his body was swollen like a leech, but the coffin was splattered with blood.
During the heyday of''vampire epidemic''in the XVIII century, which went from Eastern Europe, the church tamed his followers to foul ceremony inspection of tombs and graves suspicious. Superstition in those years was so strong that it deprives people of reason. In Slavic countries believed that the potential vampires can be evil and cruel people, or dealing with black magic, as well as suicide, perjurers, curse their parents, the corpses of the dead in sin. The same list includes sinners, excommunicated. More suspected red-born''shirt''babies, born on Christmas and in general all born under unusual circumstances or with certain physical defects, such as cleft lip, deformity skull or extremities. In Greece, where people mostly dark eyes, those with blue eyes, were considered vampires. According to Romanian legend, illegitimate or unbaptized children, witches, wizards and seventh sons of seventh sons are doomed to become vampires. In Greece, Sicily and caught on the opinion of vampires, whose murder was not avenged: anyone who died a violent death, he could get out of the grave a vampire, and justice. In some villages, every one who refused to eat garlic, fell under suspicion of vampirism.
The old belief, widespread from Romania to China, says: if in a coffin, not yet buried, a cat will jump (or any other animal), the corpse will turn into a vampire.
3. Ways to protect against vampires
To protect their children the ancient Egyptians used magic spells. With their help, they can assign the identity of the victorious deity, lure the enemy and destroy its charm. In the more immediate time we were necklaces of garlic flowers, horses and horseshoes all kinds of amulets. To the dead man did not become a vampire, he was placed under the tongue a piece of parchment with written on it excerpted text of the Gospel of Luke. The most popular use of the crucifix branches of hawthorn, blackthorn and juniper. The same was brought knives stuck into the ground, under which''rested''alleged vampires, fumigate the grave and gray smoke from the lemon tree. Mazal door with tar, sprinkled on the floor salt and pepper and scattered prickles on the floor bedrooms. It was assumed that vampires love to take it and do not transgress your bloody dinner, until one counts all the scattered items, and meanwhile the morning comes and he will burn in the first rays of the sun. There is a dispute on account of whether vampires are afraid of crosses or not. It is hard to imagine a vampire - Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist, which would frighten view crucifixion. But, according to Morey, the matter is not religion, but in the form of a cross, which influences positively on the human aura, and thereby protects it from external interference and negative impacts (see''Shadow of the Vampire''). So the cross could be left in the current attribute against the vampires, although it is not too strong and weapons.
Ancient Greeks buried their dead with obols (Greek coin) in the mouth. She would not let if fall through the mouth evil spirits. And in the XIX century Greeks similarly inhibit the penetration vrikolaks, fixing to face the dead wax cross.
Hungarians and Romanians were burying their dead with sickles at the neck: if the body wants to rise from the grave, he srezhet his neck. Some of the most zealous adding more and sickle from the heart, especially for those individuals who in life were not married and therefore at risk of becoming a strigoev, ie vampires. The Finns, for example, tied his hands and feet dead or stuck pins in the grave, to spur the body to the ground.
In Eastern Europe, hung out the windows and doors of the branches of buckthorn and hawthorn - the latter considered a shrub, which was decorated with a crown of Jesus - the vampire run into their spines, and go further.
People were sleeping, putting pillows under sharp objects, it goes so far that fear of nocturnal visits, spreading human excrement on their clothes and even put on his chest.
Many thought that the antidote against the vampires can serve as a charm dough, where it is mixed - as was done in Russia - the flour with the blood flowed from the body of a vampire. And the bread, when he ate, according to the Mercure Galant, - protecting them from harassment,''Specter, who never returned.'' Other preferred, as was made in Poland, moisten a handkerchief in the blood from the corpse and drink it all the relatives,''so as not to feel any pain''(House Calmette). Mannhardt wrote:''In Prussia, the people who become ill after being bitten by a vampire will recover when they were in the drink mixed with a bit of rotting blood.''Elsewhere, ate a little earth from the grave brukolaka or rubbed his chest with blood.
Widely used is a way to once again take a vampire, not allow him to leave the grave. As the coffin was placed a bit of land from the doorway to a vampire believed that he did not budge. Just put in the coffin of millet in the hope that the vampire will count the seeds, or chains, so it year after year uncouple links.
Many African tribes retain died with him, rather to look after them, than out of concern for them. The fear of their return makes lock spirits threatening them with a spear or a club, persuaded or beg to leave the place where they used to come and be.
4. DESTRUCTION OF VAMPIRE
In Eastern Europe were opened in the old grave of a suspect in vampirism, stuffed it with straw, pierced body with a stake and then burned. Often separated from the corpse's head, using a shovel gravedigger. Head is then placed at the feet of the deceased, or near the pelvis and the reliability screened from the rest of the body of earth roller. Bulgaria and Serbia were placed near the umbilicus branches of hawthorn and shaves all body except the head. In addition, the soles of their feet were cut and put the nail behind the head.
In the dead man's head, which could prove to be a vampire, hammered nail or knitting-needle stuck in order to destroy (or drive), a dark soul, nesting there. It was assumed that the soul is just in my head. To the article, and Diack and the Indians Hivaros resorted to this method now. With the dark soul they say, excommunicated. Just to clear the body of a dark soul, a corpse beheaded silver hatchet (if there was no silver, then went down and the most usual ...). The body was buried in unhallowed ground, far from the cemetery.
The traditional and most effective was regarded as well-known quantity to us. The most important thing - this is one blow manages to pierce the heart of a vampire in the daytime, when it is most defenseless. This should be done skillfully, or with a second blow, he once again come to life.
Even after killing the vampire, it was necessary to cut off his limbs and buried at a crossroads. In ancient times, a simple quartering not treated. Bone vampires cooked in huge pots, until they begin to melt, to kill the infection, which they could distribute, and wash them. To the article, saying''there and wash up bones.'' A powerful weapon can be considered a fire. But there were instances when a vampire burned to ashes, and he is again, and drank blood.
According to superstition, silver and other precious metals were considered divine and the vampire could not touch them. In more recent times begun to use silver bullets. Of course, why not use gold: too expensive. Find the right tomb, housing the servants of darkness, to shoot straight into a holy bullet or bind the body in the coffin of special units ...
Fears of vampires led them invented all of his own weakness and to calm her a thousand ways to protect yourself, and that the most outrageous - Taking a pseudo-vampires, most ordinary people, for the present, lowered the real physical and mental ability to real vampires, likened them to a certain wild bloodthirsty zombies - bloodsuckers, grunting in their graves ...

In Greece, Sicily and caught on the opinion of vampires, whose murder was not avenged: anyone who died a violent death, he could get out of the grave a vampire, and justice. In some villages, every one who refused to eat garlic, fell under suspicion of vampirism.
The old belief, widespread from Romania to China, says: if in a coffin, not yet buried, a cat will jump (or any other animal), the corpse will turn into a vampire.
3. Ways to protect against vampires
To protect their children the ancient Egyptians used magic spells. With their help, they can assign the identity of the victorious deity, lure the enemy and destroy its charm. In the more immediate time we were necklaces of garlic flowers, horses and horseshoes all kinds of amulets. To the dead man did not become a vampire, he was placed under the tongue a piece of parchment with written on it excerpted text of the Gospel of Luke. The most popular use of the crucifix branches of hawthorn, blackthorn and juniper. The same was brought knives stuck into the ground, under which''rested''alleged vampires, fumigate the grave and gray smoke from the lemon tree. Mazal door with tar, sprinkled on the floor salt and pepper and scattered prickles on the floor bedrooms. It was assumed that vampires love to take it and do not transgress your bloody dinner, until one counts all the scattered items, and meanwhile the morning comes and he will burn in the first rays of the sun. There is a dispute on account of whether vampires are afraid of crosses or not. It is hard to imagine a vampire - Hindu, Muslim or Buddhist, which would frighten view crucifixion. But, according to Morey, the matter is not religion, but in the form of a cross, which influences positively on the human aura, and thereby protects it from external interference and negative impacts (see''Shadow of the Vampire''). So the cross could be left in the current attribute against the vampires, although it is not too strong and weapons.
Ancient Greeks buried their dead with obols (Greek coin) in the mouth. She would not let if fall through the mouth evil spirits. And in the XIX century Greeks similarly inhibit the penetration vrikolaks, fixing to face the dead wax cross.
Hungarians and Romanians were burying their dead with sickles at the neck: if the body wants to rise from the grave, he srezhet his neck. Some of the most zealous adding more and sickle from the heart, especially for those individuals who in life were not married and therefore at risk of becoming a strigoev, ie vampires. The Finns, for example, tied his hands and feet dead or stuck pins in the grave, to spur the body to the ground.
In Eastern Europe, hung out the windows and doors of the branches of buckthorn and hawthorn - the latter considered a shrub, which was decorated with a crown of Jesus - the vampire run into their spines, and go further.
People were sleeping, putting pillows under sharp objects, it goes so far that fear of nocturnal visits, spreading human excrement on their clothes and even put on his chest.
Many thought that the antidote against the vampires can serve as a charm dough, where it is mixed - as was done in Russia - the flour with the blood flowed from the body of a vampire. And the bread, when he ate, according to the Mercure Galant, - protecting them from harassment,''Specter, who never returned.'' Other preferred, as was made in Poland, moisten a handkerchief in the blood from the corpse and drink it all the relatives,''so as not to feel any pain''(House Calmette). Mannhardt wrote:''In Prussia, the people who become ill after being bitten by a vampire will recover when they were in the drink mixed with a bit of rotting blood.''Elsewhere, ate a little earth from the grave brukolaka or rubbed his chest with blood.
Widely used is a way to once again take a vampire, not allow him to leave the grave. As the coffin was placed a bit of land from the doorway to a vampire believed that he did not budge. Just put in the coffin of millet in the hope that the vampire will count the seeds, or chains, so it year after year uncouple links.
Many African tribes retain died with him, rather to look after them, than out of concern for them. The fear of their return makes lock spirits threatening them with a spear or a club, persuaded or beg to leave the place where they used to come and be.
4. DESTRUCTION OF VAMPIRE
In Eastern Europe were opened in the old grave of a suspect in vampirism, stuffed it with straw, pierced body with a stake and then burned. Often separated from the corpse's head, using a shovel gravedigger. Head is then placed at the feet of the deceased, or near the pelvis and the reliability screened from the rest of the body of earth roller. Bulgaria and Serbia were placed near the umbilicus branches of hawthorn and shaves all body except the head. In addition, the soles of their feet were cut and put the nail behind the head.
In the dead man's head, which could prove to be a vampire, hammered nail or knitting-needle stuck in order to destroy (or drive), a dark soul, nesting there. It was assumed that the soul is just in my head. To the article, and Diack and the Indians Hivaros resorted to this method now. With the dark soul they say, excommunicated. Just to clear the body of a dark soul, a corpse beheaded silver hatchet (if there was no silver, then went down and the most usual ...). The body was buried in unhallowed ground, far from the cemetery.
The traditional and most effective was regarded as well-known quantity to us. The most important thing - this is one blow manages to pierce the heart of a vampire in the daytime, when it is most defenseless. This should be done skillfully, or with a second blow, he once again come to life.
Even after killing the vampire, it was necessary to cut off his limbs and buried at a crossroads. In ancient times, a simple quartering not treated. Bone vampires cooked in huge pots, until they begin to melt, to kill the infection, which they could distribute, and wash them. To the article, saying''there and wash up bones.'' A powerful weapon can be considered a fire. But there were instances when a vampire burned to ashes, and he is again, and drank blood.
According to superstition, silver and other precious metals were considered divine and the vampire could not touch them. In more recent times begun to use silver bullets. Of course, why not use gold: too expensive. Find the right tomb, housing the servants of darkness, to shoot straight into a holy bullet or bind the body in the coffin of special units ...
The real vampire their types
The real vampire their types
So, what are vampires? What they look like and how much they are dangerous to humans?
You can not restrict ourselves to the definition of what a vampire is a dead man, risen from the grave at night and sucking human blood. We can not reject all other facts, limited only by the conviction that vampires exist only energy, not blood drinkers, and people's energy. The same can be said about people suffering from porphyria, or so-called porphin disease. Vampires There are several types. We can say that their species was much more, but they all died''or''or exist in single copies.
The first two are most familiar to us, but they do not in any case should not be confused, in order to prevent an unforgivable mistake. What mistakes? You be the judge.
1. VAMPIRE REASONABLE
These vampires in the best of their supernatural abilities are extremely well developed intellect. They aspire to power over people as well as on other vampires. Some, especially the strong and ancient beings possess a powerful psionic energy, which depends on the characteristics of the person, still alive. Vampires themselves clinically dead. They have a weak heartbeat, pale skin photosensitive. They are immortal, but must avoid sunlight, and on this day are in hiding, living only at night. Traditional methods of dealing with these vampires do not apply. Cole, garlic, crucifix and other religious objects are not capable of inflicting harm. All reasonable vampires have the ability to grow stronger with time. Vampires feed on blood. Most of the human, because the meaning is not in itself blood, namely the life that a vampire robs man, and with it the whole force and energy thereof. But there are humane vampires GOLOKONDY, they suffer as a people and condemn themselves to eternal hell on earth and unquenched thirst for blood. Many of them go crazy without human blood.

2. VAMPIRE - Zombie
Kind of a vampire-zombie is best known to us from the horror movies about werewolves or Nosferatu.
These vampires do not differ particularly intelligence, and after a while and generally lose any hints of intelligence. On this afternoon forced to dwell in their''native''graves, because they are just as reasonable and vampires can not stand sunlight, but to find a decent place in the environment of the brain is not enough. Vampires - zombies have the ability to change their appearance, they are dissolved, in other words break up into small organisms, and then connected again in the correct sequence. Vampires are reasonable and TERMOVAMPIRY often use zombies as his servants, but of much use, except as a dirty mass killing of them nothing would happen. These vampires are dangerous because, unlike vampires reasonable, get an epidemic of vampirism from them can be, after the first bite, if you stay alive. In this case the infection gets into your blood and you too will become a vampire - a zombie. Luckily vampires - a zombie is a rare phenomenon, they have not been there yourself and try to avoid people. But in ancient times, they destroyed entire villages and their numbers dramatically increased.
To protect yourself from such a vampire to stock up with alcohol, silver, fire, aspen, and well ... garlic.

They are no definite weapon because they do not belong to our world. Confuse them will unless cross. They feed the energy of will. The risk you can wait in a dream, is that people after the attack vampire of the astral plane can be madness. If you meet a vampire in the astral plane, imagine slowly voznosyaschiysya between them and you cross or pentagram. The latter should be constructed of fire.

The glittering five-pointed star like the flaming sword that drove Adam out of Eden.'' For those who do not know pentogramma - a five-pointed star, drawn twice: once around the outer circle, and the second time - within. However, caution should be exercised in communion with it. When a ray pentogrammy pointing up and the two beams are directed down - you use it as protection against demons and other astral beings. But if you turn it - to send two beams down and one up front, you will attract to itself all the undead.

One feature termovampirov: they are not able otpustt victim before they shall be filled, even if very much like to do it. They make the sunlight, but prefer to avoid it; also avoided silver and other precious metals. One termovampir explained his reluctance to feed the energy of animals, such as elephant, because he did not want him to have grown a trunk. Appreciate termovampiry donors. The donors - people who have a strong thermal - energy and they recharge from a vampire's do not die of hypothermia. These people are always warm and dry hands.

In fact, everything is much more complicated, but this definition is good, though superficially gives an idea of energy - vampires in general. Energy vampirism - the fruit of the nervous atmosphere of the modern world, but there was at all times.
Energy vampires are not immortal, but they can live longer than ordinary people, often at the expense of energy.

What scientists say about vampires
What scientists say about vampires
In the existence of the beyond most people looking from a scientific point of view, refusing to believe in the supernatural. Vampirism is no exception. Some argue that vampires - people sick with plague, taken for vampires, others - that vampires - people who suffer from porphyria, ... But what is so much disagreement?
"Professor Tikkanen said that he was able to solve the mystery of the nature of the Vampire.''At the heart of all European myths of vampires and werewolves - says professor - are real events.''According to him, in legend, overgrown with incredible detail and all devilry, lies the fate of people who suffer so-called porphin disease in a very severe form.
In this terrible genetic disease in the blood and tissues of the human body breaks down the pigment exchange. During the disease from solar ultraviolet radiation to initiate partial decomposition of hemoglobin. At the same time his non-protein part - hem - turns into a toxic substance, which erodes the subcutaneous tissue. As the terrible skin disease patient starts to get brown shade, becoming thinner and with prolonged exposure to sunlight breaks and begins to decay, emitting a nauseating smell. In the course of the disease deformed tendon, which leads to spontaneous twisting of limbs and fingers. In severe disease accompanied by the most cruel pain and changes in the psyche: the defeat of the porphin man begins to eat raw meat, sucking their blood, which requires the patient body to reduce pain and restore the balance of blood. Tremendous strength, which brought to ascribe vampires, they gave no supernatural abilities, as ordinary despair. Maddened by infected wild pain often assaulted and even people in a nightmarish battle they were not equal. Stop them could only fork or a good kick stake. Daylight intensified their suffering, for this to search for food, they came out mostly at night, after eating the pain receded, they were killed in a secluded corner of the (often neglected in the crypts) and slept. It is from here and went to stories about that day they sleep in their graves, and at night go out hunting.
The cause of the disease in humans porphin still poorly studied, but in most cases it arises as a result of incest, but in other words, incest between near relatives. This explains why so widespread disease in the mountainous regions of Transylvania inhabited by ignorant people with specific barbaric way of life.
Even now it is a rare disease that affects on average one person per one hundred thousand, is resistant to treatment: chemotherapy and frequent blood transfusion, not all afford it, but - after a disease is curable. "
By the above, I would like to add that this theory is certainly plausible, but besides her there are other types of vampirism, which in many respects do not meet her, and little can be explained from a scientific point of view at all. There are even cases where the same porphyria occurs in different ways.
