The Powers of the Healers
The Salubri are not completely powerless in their struggle against the Dark Forces of the world. They wield the Sword of Mercy and Healing _ not a weapon to scoff. They are the masters of the soul and the mind, and new possibilities open to those who achieve complete serenity.
Disciplines and Golconda
As the Vitae of Saulot the Healer runs in the veins of the Salubri, the Path of Golconda is almost a birthright to them. By no means is this achieved automatically, but the Salubri seems to have an innate understanding of how to reach this state of tranquility, which eludes so many Cainites. The Elders of the Clan have left behind clues of Golconda for millennia, and to the Salubri who understands their language, their way of thinking and who can discover where the clues are, this is almost like a marked path which they have but to follow.
A Salubri who reaches Golconda, is of course freed from the ravages of the Beast, and she is never again prone to the dangers of Frenzy and R=94tschrek for as long as she remains in Golconda. By accepting herself, she unites both the Man and the Beast, as she recognises them as inseparable and equally a part of her. Total serenity is achieved, and the Salubri finally knows freedom from the eternal blood-thirst, and the overpowering self-pity.
Furthermore, she does no longer need blood as often as does other Cainites, and loses only a single Blood Point per week, rather than one per day. The Salubri will also be able to push aside and ignore the need for more potent blood when they reach the age where many Cainites spiral into a madness of Diablerie.
Because the Salubri is in complete balance, she is open to the Disciplines in a way no non- Salubri can ever fathom. The body, mind, and soul sing in harmony and the serenity of Golconda allows the Salubri to ascend the normal limitations for learning new Powers. A Salubri in Golconda needs not lower her Generation in order to learn Discipline Powers higher than five, she can learn them merely by expending experience points
New Knowledge Trait
This knowledge is the secret language of the Salubri, which their most ancient records are written in, as well as anything which is judged to vital to allow those outside the Clan to see. The sects have special variations of this language, which only members of the sect speaks, and the most ancient of the Elders speak a version which has not been spoken in the world since Saulot entered Torpor. Since the language is a mixture of Saulot's native Summerian Tongue and of those which he learned while wandering in the East after he achieved Golconda, it has no simple logic to it, and is impossible to decipher is one does not speak it. The letters used in Saulot's Words are archaic signs, and can easily be hidden amongst the graffiti found in cities all over the world.
Since the language is very complex due to its composition of many varied languages, compound grammar and ancient structure, Saulot's Words is very difficult to master. Thus a Salubri cannot chose a speciality before attaining four or more dots in the Knowledge.
