Text Box: Common Terms: s. Abbot: A vampire or ghoul charged with the maintenance of a Sabbat pack's communal haven. c. Anarch: A Kindred rebel who opposes the tyranny of elders. Anarchs wish to redistribute the wealth and resources of a city equitably among the vampires therein. Naturally, the elders oppose this, having cultivated their influence for centuries. c. Antitribu: Literally "anti-tribe" or "anti-clan". The antitribu are vampires who have turned their backs on their "parent" clans and now follow the policies of the Sabbat instead. One exception to this rule is the Lasombra antitribu, who have abandoned the Sabbat in favour of independent or Camarilla unlives. Antitribu are generally held in extremely low regard by their parent clans, which is especially true in the case of the Lasombra. s. Archbishop: A vampire who serves as the leader of a city under the Sabbat's influence. Not every Sabbat-held city claims an archbishop; some have councils of bishops. s. Auctoritas Ritae: A collection of thirteen rituals practiced and upheld in a manner similar to the Biblical Ten Commandments. c. Barrens, The: Areas of a city unfit for life, including graveyards, abandoned buildings, industrial wastelands and areas of irreversible urban blight. c. Becoming, The: The moment one passes from being a fledgling into "full" vampire status. One may not “Become” until one’s sire deems one ready and gains the prince's approval. s.

Blood: A vampire's heritage; a lineage of one’s sire, and so forth. c. Blood Bond: A mystical power over another individual engendered by partaking of a particular vampire's blood three times. To accept blood from a vampire is an acknowledgement of the others authority. s. Brave: A vampire participating in a war party. s. Cainite: A vampire. Some vampires use this term in places where other vampires would use the term Kindred. c. Caitiff: A vampire of unknown clan, or of no clan at all.
