The Order

The Order was founded in America in the year 1897 by Gabriel. It is dedicated too the protection of the human race and maintaining the equilibrium between the many supernatural races that also exist in the world.

Every state has a small faction of the Order but they don't take the aggressive stance of the main Branches, who specialise in counteracting violent Supernatural activity.

It was originally run by a council of thirteen beings from all walks of life, but who were all dedicated too its beliefs... but today it is run only by six and its members are dwindling.

Department S

Department S was created by Hugo Gyle in 1945 as the government friendly side of The Order. field agents of The Order can use its federal influence too muscle in on local police cases.

It is ran by a large amount of analysts and scientists who need The Order too actually combat the supernatural threat.

The Camarilla

The largest sect of vampires in existence, the Camarilla concerns itself with the Masquerade, thereby hoping to maintain a place for Kindred in the modern nights. The Camarilla is an open society; it claims all vampires as members, (whether they want to belong or not), and any vampire may claim membership, regardless of lineage.

According to the often-contradictory history of the Kindred, the Camarilla came to be at the end of the Anarch Revolt, sometime in the 15th century. The Kindred of Clan Ventrue loudly claim to have been instrumental in the sect's formation, to which many Kindred owe their unlives. With the enforcement of the Masquerade, Kindred had a means of foiling the Inquisition, a Chruch office sworn to the destruction of supernatural creatures.

Though the Camarilla is the largest sect, just over half of the 13 known vampire clans actively participate in it's affairs. The sect holds meetings attended by active clans' representatives; these gatherings are known as convocations. It also calls periodic conclaves, which are open to any and all members of the sect, to discuss matters of imminent sect importance. Only justicars, officers elected by the Inner Circle to attend to matters of the Traditions, may call conclaves. Justicars are always of great age, and rightly feared; as such, their interpretations of the Traditions are heeded out of self-preservation. Coteries of vampires known as archons attend the justicarsl meeting an archon is usually a portentous event.

Officially, the Camarilla does not recognize the existence of the Antediluvians or Caine. It reasons that these vampires, if they ever existed at all, have long since suffered the Final Death, and those who allude to them are publicly derided.

The Sabbat Rumoured to have it's origins in a medieval death cult, the Sabbat is greatly feared by Kindred who do not belong to it. The sect is monstrous and violent, and no longer clings to any trappings of human philosophy or morality. Members instead revel in their vampiric unlives. Sometimes referred to as the Black Hand, the Sabbat actively seeks to overthrow of the Traditions, the destruction of the Camarilla, and the subjugation of humankind.

The Sabbat recruits wherever it takes hold, spreading like a poisonous weed and tearing down the established institutions around it. Unlike the Camarilla, the Sabbat recognizes the existence of the Antediluvians, though it rabidly opposes them. According to the Sabbat propaganda, the Antediluvians pull the strings of the entire world, and it is this malignant control the oppose. They see the Camarilla as pawns of the Ancients, and oppose it's members politically as well as physically. Most Sabbat express bilious contempt for the vampires of the Camarilla, whom they see as cowardly wretched unable to accept their predatory natures.

Outsiders know little about the Sabbat's inner workings. Some Camarilla Kindred even doubt it's existence, believing it to be a rumour created by elders to keep troublesome childer in line ---- an undead boogeyman. Lurid tales about the sect spread like wildfire, including claims that it's members indulge in ceaseless diablerie, worship demons, hunt and kill other vampires, and possess the ability to break blood bonds. The only consistent rumour attributed to the Sabbat is it's members' apparent love of fire ---- the sect has a fearsome reputation for leaving burning wakes behind it.
