The Way of the Locust

Unlife in the Invictus

I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls, With vassals and serfs at my side, And of all who assembled within those walls, That I was the hope and the pride. — Alfred Bunn, Bohemian Girl

Creating a Coil

Puranas of the Amara Havana

The Fog of Eternity

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. — Umberto Eco

(Level-Five Crúac Ritual)

The Crone

At the end of all roads, the Crone awaits, her shears sharpened to sever the ties to life.

Nburu

The Adroanzi have always seen themselves as gods of nature.

The Summer Solstice

Summer might not lead one’s thoughts to vampires.

Apocryphal Coils

The Sworn of the Ladder

Just as Mara drew together a group of followers who felt that she was on the true path to transcendence, so did Anoushka.

Mystikoi

A heresy may outlive the attempts to stomp it out, if it is given a fertile and insular home in which to flourish.

Mortifiers of the Flesh

The Mortifiers of the Flesh are, in some domains, as much a faction within The Lancea Sanctum as they are a bloodline.

Zelani

The enigmatic Zelani bloodline only has enough members to form a single coterie — at present.

•• Taint

The Southern Cities Alliance

In the 19th century, the Southern Cities Alliance was a benign, and somewhat naïve, force in the politics of the fractious and rapidly changing Kindred society of the Indian subcontinent.

Vala

Apollinaire

Members of the Apollinaire bloodline are champions of death.

Mortualia

Further revealing the Romanization of the quasi-Egyptian funerary necromancy practiced by Libitinarii, this Discipline of Torpor and sleep was given a Latin name.

The Solitary Path

These Kindred seek meaning in a profound sense, delving into their own thoughts and instincts and studying the ways of the sensual world, hoping to come to a satisfactory understanding.

Eupraxia

This power is what separates the pious monsters that descend from the unique blend of Orthodox tradition and Slavic folklore from the pious monsters of The Lancea Sanctum.

Grand Wyrm

The Dragon who has taken her oath to the Ordo Dracul earlier than any other member of the Academy is accorded the title of Grand Wyrm.

Shepherds

Think of the way a shepherd tends to his flock. And then, when the time is right, he exploits the animals for their milk, wool and meat. That’s what the Shepherds do.

Barjot

One of the smallest and most unusual bloodlines in Kindred history, the Barjot have their origin in late 1860s France.
