![]() ![]() The True Brujah claim to descend from Brujah himself and not from Troile, who supposedly committed diablerie upon her Antediluvian sire. The True Brujah resent the claiming of their sire's name by Troile and her bastard lineage. They long for the night when they will reclaim their heritage from the false Brujah. Until that night, they must falsely claim lineage to other clans or simply call themselves Brujah. Consequently, they rarely interact with each other or other vampires; instead, they spend much of their time gathering information and developing their powers. They continue to prepare for war against the false Brujah but, since they have been preparing this way for at least 5,000 years (and probably more), such a feat is unlikely. True Brujah like large estates, mansions, and other big, comfortable, isolated places where they can be alone. Their havens for their Alternate Identities are smaller city dwellings, often subterranean and well-guarded. They view themselves as scholars and share professional respect for one another, though they often disagree on various issues. Small groups of True Brujah gather to discuss politics, philosophy, religion, art, music and all other avenues of mortal and immortal interest. Unlike the Childer of Troile, all the True Brujah manage to meet twice a century at some mutually agreed upon location. The True Brujah not of the Black Hand hear of this meeting also, and most attend. Together they tell stories of their past, talk of the atrocities of the false Brujah, rant about their own efforts against them and debate other topics of interest. In times of trouble, members call upon one another without worrying about the Rite of Prestation. They strongly believe in solidarity, claiming it is the only thing that has allowed them to survive against the divided False Brujah. They also gain respect by thwarting efforts of the false Brujah, by winning debates against one another and by increasifig knowledge through their research, thoughts, and writings. Those who collect information that might lead to tracking down Troile are also awarded with prestige. "We bear a great atrocity. In addition to stealing the blood of our clan father, they have stolen his name. We are the True Brujah, and one night the streets will flow with the blood of Troile's bastards." ![]()
