| The Clans Of Sabbat |
| Like the Camarilla, the Sabbat welcomes any Kindred who wishes to become a member---provided the vampire in question subscribes to the sect's inhuman philosophy. Indeed, almost every Camerilla clan has an 'antitribu', or "anti-clan" analog, in the Sabbat; these rebels reject the tenents of the mainstream clan in favor of the monsters' way of thinking. The Sabbat's two leading clans both claim to have destroyed their Antediluvian founders, and are said to pursue the annihilation of the other Antediluvians as well. |
| Lasombra |
| The Lasombra are masters of darkness and shadow, and possess a knack for leadership as keen as that of Clan Ventrue. Indeed, many Kindred see the Ventrue and Lasombra as twisted reflections of each other. Once, the Lasombra were nobles, but the chaos of Kindred history and the formation of the Sabbat have caused most of them to turn their backs upon their origins. Now, Lasombra have affected the Sabbat, and without the rulership of these fallen aristocrats, the Sabbat would likely disintegrate. |
| Tzimisce |
| Formerly the tyrants of Eastern Europe, the Tzimisce (zhi mee see) have been uprooted from their Old Country manses and relocated into the clutches of the Sabbat. Possessed of a peculiar nobility, coupled with an evil that transcends mortal perception, Clan Tzimisce leads Sabbat in its rejection of all human things.Certain Kindred apocrypha claims that the Tzimisce was once the most powerful clan in the world, but that history and other Kindred conspired to bring its members down to their current state. More so than any other vampires, the Tzimisce revel in their montrousness. They practice a "fleshcrafting" Discipline that they use to disfigure their foes and sculpt themselves into beings of terrible beauty. |
