| The Sabbat recruits wherever it takes hold, spreading like a poisonous weed and tearing down the established institutions around it.Unlike the Camerilla, the Sabbat recognizes the exsistence of the Antediluvians, though it rabidly opposes them. According to Sabbat propoganda, the Antediluvians pull the strings of the entire world, and it is this malignant control they oppose.They see the Camerilla as pawns of the Ancients, and oppose its members politically as well as physically. Most Sabbat express bilious contempt for the vampires of the Camerilla, whom they see as cowardly wretches unable to accept their predatory natures. Outsiders know little about the Sabbat's inner workings. SOme Camerilla Kindred even doubt its existence, believing it to be a rumor created by elders to keep troublesome childer in line--- an undead boogyman. Lurid tales about the sect spread like wildfire, including claims that its members indulge in ceaseless diablerie, worship demons, hunt and kill other vampires, and possess the ability to break blood bonds. The only consistent rumor attributed to the Sabbat is that its members' apparent love of fire---the sect has a fearsome reputation for leaving burning wakes behind it. |
| The Inconnu- The Inconnu are not a sect so much as they are a disparate group of like-minded vampires. No longer wishing to be the puppets of those older then they, and tired of the incessant maneuvering of those younger then they, the Inconnu seem to have dropped out of the Jyhad altogether.This is what distinguishes an Inconnu vampire from those of other sects --- the Inconnu distance themselves from other vampires and their contemptible machinations. The Inconnu are rumored (as no one ever really goes looking for them) to be of great age and potency. Many reportedly spend much time in topor or otherwise sleeping, the better to avoid the Jyhad. Some Kindred liken the Inconnu to the Antediluvians, claiming that they have grown away from the world and into a timeless, inhuman mindset. Other Kindred believe that the Inconnu all pursue or have attained Golconda, a fabled state of vampiric transcendence. Kindred who deal with the Inconnu typically leave the encounter with a sense of profound mystery and awe.Although the Inconnu seem to be informal and loosly organized, they communicate very well among themselves. Inconnu know when to avoid Kindred, when to hide from them, and when to unleash their significant power to turn vampires away. Their agenda, if they have one, is unknown. |
