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.

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.
