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

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.
