Overview
In general, being a vampire in LATMA can be a little tricky. For one, it's illegal. For another, the Sabbat have attained more of a foothold in the area, which means it's a bit more violent. The 'official' Camarilla ostensibly have no 'official' interests in the area; the fledgling re-surgence of the movement has its ups and downs as far as involvement and control in the area go, but it's still working on it. Since the Fall vampires have been either on the rule or on the run. Here is the basic run down.
Vampire Timeline
- 1944. Los Angeles falls to the Anarchs.
- 1999 - The Fall
- Baba Yaga eats the Prime Minster of Russia on national television. Apocalyptic antics ensue.
- Rumors of Gehenna spread like wild fire. The Camarilla tries to deny it. The Sabbat encourage them…in their own chaotic way.
- The 2000's-2030's
- The Camarilla abandon the West Coast to concentrate on other areas.
- Slugfest. Open fighting in the streets. The world falls into chaos. Vampire's fortunes rise and fall nightly. Distinctions between sects are blurred as the Fall makes increasingly strange bedfellows.
- LATMA is a warzone that recedes into a war zone with stable pockets.
- Mexico is Sabbat
- California is Anarch,
- the Camarilla influences have retreated to the Northwest region. The remaining Camarilla minority (considered Anarchs by the main sect) hide behind corporate pawns and ghouls.
- 2020 Southern California is pretty close to hell on earth, though not so close as, say, the Middle East, with renewed Jyhads both human and otherwise raging across the land. The Anarch and Sabbat are the so-called undead powers in the area; attempts at re-establishing the Camarilla begin without any official support of the Camarilla.
- 2040's - The Siege, The Purge and the Civil War
- The Siege - The Assamite clan founder wakes up to find his childer hamstrung by the Tremere. He shakes off the blood curse and the commands an all out attack on the Warlocks. The Tremere survive the affront but a few of their leaders, Meerlinda included, die in the attempt to take Almut from the Assamites.
- The Purge - The reasons and events behind this are even less clear than the Siege. Most of the Tremere Antitribu were cleansed in a pillar of fire. Why who? No one is sure. One suspects the main clan but then who is pulling the strings there. Rumors of Saulot's return as well as some sort of psychic slugfest between Goratrix and Tremere himself causing the problems. Also, it may have had something to do with the Siege. No one is sure. There aren't many Tremere Antitribu left to tell the tale.
- The Civil War - In some ways more clear in other ways less so than the Purge. Shaitan woke up in Mexico City and found the environment there…encouraging. After creating a slugfest with the local hierarchy there (including offing one of the Prisci) he fell back into torpor and vanished. Meanwhile, having heard the siren call of their Dark Lord, the whole of the Baali bloodline (or at least those with means of transport) fell upon Mexico City overwhelming the leadership there. Somehow, all of this was done sub rosa. Vanishings in the sect hierarchy and accusations of infernalism (some of which turned out to be true) went round and round. A civil war broke out. This was resolved with the destruction of the infernal leadership, in part thanks to the LATMA Sabbat.
Vampire and the World At Large
South America - Now governed by the New Aztec Empire it is Independent and at war. Heavy Giovanni, Setite presence with some Ravnos fanning the flames. Occasional Ba'ali sightings and rumors of major infernalist doings, but no proof. Rumors that the Sabbat, Camarilla, and Inconnu are, may be, will be, or have united efforts to keep the 'rot' from spreading out of South America. But, again, no proof.
West Indies, Caribbean - Setites and Serpents of Light as well as Mummies and a few Children of Osiris duke it out with local voodoo big wigs.
British Isles - Violently Anarch, with rumors of Inconnu, or at the very least Elder, support from the self-named Lady of the Lake.
Western Europe - Remains mostly Camarilla. Footholds in Spain and Germany by the Sabbat have been lost. Italy - mostly Sabbat since an unknown female Elder razed almost every Camarilla strongold in the country in a matter of days in 2020 - is now in contention, although no one's sure quite who's fighting.
Russia - Baba Yaga. Enough said.
Australia - Abandoned, though a Cardinal has recently been assigned there for unknown reasons.
Africa - Full blown Jyhad. All races free-for-all. Africa, like Europe, has 'reverted to type'. There's no longer a UN to interfere with tribal 'negotiations' concerning claims to ancestral hunting grounds, for one, and for another, the paranormal jyhads have spilled over down there to a certain extent. North Africa, with the Set/Osiris battles, is something of a buffer zone keeping the conflict from spilling across the Mediterranean. As far as mundane news is concerned, Africa is a continent at war - and seeming rather happy about that.
Middle East - As Africa, a real mess.
Asia - Asia blew up with Kindred of the East activity but as the ONI Accords were put in place and the Hindu-Manchu Legeue got organized things quieted down and got orderly in a hurry.
North America
Florida: Setite. Snakes like the humidity.
Louisiana: Sabbat. A buffer zone to Florida, almost, the Sabbat have entrenched themselves among the Cajun population.
Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota: Inconnu & Independent. Largely in keeping with the tendency of the mortal populations in these areas to self-sufficiency.
Arizona, SoCal: Sabbat / Anarch.
Nevada, NorCal, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington: Anarch / Independent
Alaska: Unknown. There just isn't much going on up here.%r%tEast of Mississippi, including New England: Camarilla
Canada: Major cities north of St Lawrence are Sabbat. Rest of territory largely ignored by, well, everyone. Some people know why the St Lawrence waterway is the
border between Camarilla and Sabbat territory, but they aren't telling. A lot of speculation concerning this exists.
Mexico: Sabbat, as are the remainder of the countries down to the Panama Canal. Of late, Mexico City has been a bit pre-occupied and tense (see the Ba'ali for why).
Chicago is the 'Western Front' of the Camarilla presence in North America. Not quite an armed camp, but not particularly relaxed about anyone or anything, either.
Faction Info
Since 1493 the Camarilla has maintained conspiratorial secrecy surrounding Kindred. Mysterious, hierarchical and materialistic, the Camarilla Princes ruled over their cities with iron in their fists and targets on their backs. The nightly drama of the rise and fall of Princes from the 15th century to the 20th suddenly gave way sudden, disturbing changes in the within the ranks of the Great Society of the Undead. The Fall ruptured the wisdom of the sect's materialistic concerns and the long Gehenna nay saying Elders were suddenly confronted with truly ancient vampires appearing on national television. All signs point to Gehenna.
As the west coast of the United States was sold off to the corporations, the Camarilla decided to cut their losses, abandon the tattered remains of their sect and focus their resources on rebuilding their traditional domains on the East Coast and Europe.
Many in the Camarilla still choose to keep their heads in the sand, while other more savvy Kindred choose to keep up with the times. In the 20th century, the Camarilla hunted the Sabbat like fugitives from their corporate towers. In LATMA, the roles are reversed. The Sabbat have held sway for most of the 21st century and the Camarilla has secretly played it's games of power hidden among the skyscrapers and boardrooms of this new age. Previously, the Camarilla's opinion of LATMA was that they had other things to concern themselves with. They lost two archons there, killed by those who claim to be Camarilla Traditions, and the third says it isn't in any way secure. Those who come from there are Independent at best, Sabbat at worst, Anarch for an average, and are to be treated as such.
With the chaotic flux of the Sabbat in recent night, the Camarilla has seen a resurgence of sorts. The Princes and Justicars of Chicago have once again taken an interest in their abandoned west coast cities. Should loyal members of the sect prove worthy, the sect may offer resources, albeit limited, to worthy Kindered.
Clans
- Brujah
- The Fall was largely a big "I told you so" to the elders. The Bruja continue to test the boundaries of the Traditions, stir up trouble with Anarch groups and generally rebel against their masters. It's what they do. Bruja of scholarly and less educated bents are both adherents to Gehenna conspiracies of all kinds. They take every opportunity to remind the Camarilla establishment of Baba Yaga eating the Prime Minster of Russia, and other less obvious signs. While hardly organized, even in the Old World, before the Fall, the Rabble have both fallen to new lows and soared to new heights. The rants of the Idealist faction have, of late, taken on a fatalistic bent, speaking of the decline of civilization, the return of feudalism, and (in general) the complete regression into the anarchic state from which the Autarkis movement sprung. Their predictions range from the religious (Caine's wrath for his errant childer shall not be long in the coming) to the sociological (from this new Dark Age shall spring forth a greater Age of Enlightenment than has ever before been seen) to the merely self-pitying. The overall mood within the Elysiums and salons of the Brujah elders, however, is that the rampant hatred and hunting of the Kindred makes even more impossible the fading dream of a second Carthage. The Iconoclasts have, conversely, found themselves on top of a fairly huge movement, and despite the fact that half of them have neither a clue how they got there nor what to do now, all of them are enjoying it immensely. The Anarch Revolt has grown by leaps and bounds. As more and more elders are either killed or called away by their own sires, simply disappearing into the Old Country, the younger Kindred have come to realize the freedom which is theirs without the shackles of their Primogen. An ever-increasing number of cities are ruled by bizarre communal councils and rotating princedoms, as have the number of independant Princes of cities claimed Domain with no pledges to the Camarilla. Even among the Sabbat, the Loyalist movement has begun to shift dangerously close to siding with the Anarchs. As for the Individualists… well… they're all doing their own thing. (But you knew that.)
- Malkavian
- They're just as crazy as they were before the Fall. In even more frightening trends, many of them have begun to practice their thought to be lost discipline of Dementation. The Malkavians continue to stutter in the corner, burn with unreasonable passions or quietly pull the strings of the Great Society. They adhere to whatever theories strike their fancy with very little unifying beliefs. They're the Malkavians. Some are insane, others are just psychotic — business as usual. If anything on these esoteric Kindred were to be noted, it would be that a surprising amount of Malkavian influence has welled up both on the eastern shores of Australia and on the western coast of North America. If the Kooks are planning anything, they haven't (as usual) told anyone.
- Nosferatu
- The Nosferatu have found mixed blessings in the Fall. In some areas, they are almost able to walk the nights freely, their horrendous visages now symbols of their status in a few of the openly vampire-claimed areas. The advent of the Matrix has been a boon for them as well, and even within the ancillae of the clan, a strangely priestlike sect of Net Rats has emerged. Though limited to VR technology, a few are known among the proper circles as the best dealers in information accessThe Nosferatu's position in the shadows has been under constant threat from their own elders returning to feed upon them. While the Bruja may be outspoken in regards to the Camarilla's disregard of Gehenna the Nosferatu refuse to speak of it at all. They know.
- Tremere
- Domination of thaumaturgical knowledge has been threatened by various events beyond their control. The Fall was a catastrophe as far as the Camarilla was concerned, and certainly no picnic for the Tremere, with libraries and knowledge hidden and cached for safety, to be found missing in later years. The Masquerade was nearly rent wholly asunder, and plans which had been hundreds of years coming to fruition were slaughtered in one foul swoop as the Zmei crossed the Russian skies. Tremere advisors and enforcers have become almost commonplace, and the perception amoung young Kindred is often that the Chantry is the center of the Kindred community — from there is advice given from on high and from there proceed forth the Tremere themselves. They remain, of course, highly distrusted by many of the elders - especially amid rumors of chantries turning Infernal or Sabbat, rumors of the surfacing of healing and prophetic powers thought limited to an almost-extinct bloodline, and the suspected enticement by Baba Yaga of influencable Tremere - however, their skills make them valuable, and their advice is generally well-heeded. Indeed, a number of Malkavians have begun to refer to the clan as the Prophets. Between the failed purges of the antitribu, the Assamite seige and the rumors of the three way psychic wrestling match between Tremere, Saulot, and Goratrix the Tremere have been busy! They still support the Camarilla and despite the obvious, deny any official reference to Gehenna or for that matter, unrest on the home front.
- Toreador
- The divide between young and old is most pronounced with the Toreador. Elder Toreador are unable to cope with the pace and technology of the 21st century. Younger Kindered cannot fathom unlife with out the glittering digital telepresence. The Toreador are fascinated with the return of tales from the past. They seem relatively indifferent to the facts of them. With the changes in mortal views of morality and the ultra-post-modern movements in the arts, the line between the Toreador and their antitrubu counterparts has become quite thin. The Toreador Antitribu consider the mainline to be full of Poseurs, though they are occasionally suffered to live, if only so that they may despair, having looked upon the true art of the Pervert sparing them. The Camarillan Toreador are often almost indistinguishable from the Sabbat branch, their art, like that of the Kine, so removed from their once-cherished dreams of holding on to their humanity. Though the more classical arts are cultivated by some (poorly thought of) Toreador, the entire clan is summed up well by its sobriquet of 'Degenerates'.
- Ventrue
- With the Gangrel off the rez, the Tremere in a shambles and rumors of Gehenna spreading like wildfire, the self-professed kings and queens of the Camarilla have their hands full. Their general anachronism distances them further and further from the human world through an intricate web of human retainers. How will they hold power in the 21st century? The Blue Bloods have done their damnedest to keep their hands on the reigns of the Kindred communities, with marginal success. The elders of all the Seven Clans respect them (in their own idiom) and expect the leadership to come from the Ventrue, even if only in the form of a figurehead. However, the point has been reached where few except the Ventrue consider the Ventrue to be the most successful leaders. Their younger members, picked from the most capable Corporates, are overwhelmed by feelings of stagnation within the Clan, and often attempt to strike out on their own, separate from clan and sect. These attempts are rarely successful - and no one takes about the ones that are - which simply further alienates the clan both internally and externally. Further, the failure of the Ventrue to change with the Canille has become far more obvious in this age of week-long fashion trends, and there are those who question far more openly than ever before their ability to lead the Sect
LATMA was Club Med for monsters and the Sabbat threw it all away. Infernalism, a Civil War and endless instability in the leadership over the years has lead to shaky handle on the greater metropolitan area. Dark areas, like Lynwood, where might makes rights, are easily held by the violent actions of the Sword of Caine. The Bright World confounds the sect as a whole (though individual members have seen limited success in this area) with their inability to finesse the fortified spires of the Consortium held Bright zones. Even Tijuana is contested by the Giovanni and the Ravnos, who have entered the Jyhad by throwing their lot in with the New Aztec Empire. Rumors of asian kindered popping up in Chinatown unsettle as much as signs and portents of Gehenna. The specter of Infernalism still haunts the sect to the south in Mexico city. If the Sabbat wish to remain the ruling elite in LATMA they have their work cut out for them.
Clans
- Assamite Antitribu
- Brujah antitribu
- They contnue to support the Loyalist movement and are behind much of the unrest with in the sect. Business as usual.
- Gangrel antitribu city
- As urban predators, the City Gangrel have mostly been coping with the new forms of security in the Bright areas and having a field day in the unsecured Darks.
- Gangrel antitribu country
- They aren't buying what the main clan members are selling. For them, if you aren't part of the solution you are the problem.
- Harbingers of Skulls
- The sudden appearance during the Fall of the Harbingers was a shock to everyone. Even more so was that the Tzimicie and Lasombra leaders accepted them into the fold with little more than a word. Now that things have settled they are building broods and packs of their own and their particular brand of undead stench is making its way through the rank and file.
- Lasombra
- To say Lasombra patience has been tested is an understatement. Civil war, infernalism, Kindered of the East, the Lasombra have held the Sabbat together against all odds. A fact they never cease to remind the Tzimicie of whenever they get a chance. To them, the Fall was both a great black eye and a great feather in their cap — the mortals once again know to fear the night, but their fear is ceilinged by their bizarre new personal technologies. Further, the awakening of Baba Yaga and the all-out warfare which ensued in Russia (and the following Jyhad in the MidEast and Africa) did not bode well for the cause of the Sabbat. The Lasombra, however, endure as always — their lower ranks have been continually 'upgrading' to those able to most easily interface with the Corporate world. A few ghouls here and there, even, have been taken by the generally ghoul-hating Keepers, needed to bypass the security which now ferrets out the reflectionless Lasombra with ease.
- Malkavian antitribu
- Still crazy after all these years…
- Nosferatu antitribu
- Suffering a similar state of crisis as the main clan. The only difference is when they speak, everyone listens. The Nosferatu are considered
- Panders
- The Panders have grown as a movement in the past thirty years, bringing into their fold not only the otherwise clanless of the Sabbat, but also Cainites of other clans disgusted by the watering-down of their Sect's philosophy and ideology. Panders of both the Loyalist faction and the Black Hand are a more common, and their name, these days, is said with at least some respect — if for no reason than the ascension of Joseph Pander to the seat of Cardinal
- Ravnos Antitribu
- Not much has changed here.
- Salubri Antitribu
- The newest additions to the Sword of Caine and man do they hate the Tremere!
- Serpents of Lights
- Still corrupting and still practicing the voodoo. It should be noted that there are *no* Serpents of the Light born before the Twentieth Century. With the flight of many of the Setites to Egypt, the Serpents of the Light have found no end of joy bringing to the sun, stake and fire their misguided cousins. Their presence within the Sabbat has remained at relatively equal levels, as has the trust accorded them. Some have even joined the Black Hand.
- Toreador Antitribu
- The Toreador antitribu are, in some ways, like the Toreador of the Camarilla, but they do not explore art in a human way. Their search for humanity leads them further into the realms of the damned. To the Toreador antitribu see human suffering, cruelty, and perversion are as beautiful as anything good in nature. They are just as interested in torture as they are in poetry. The Fall and Gehenna have only made the Toreador more self-indulgent and inhuman. Some have almost entirely disassociated from the sect entirely. Others are fiercely loyal serving sociopathic spies, tortures or politicians.
- Tremere Antitribu
- Their numbers have been significantly reduced by the main clain's failed attempts at purging them. Besides continuing to increase their numbers, the Tremere Antitribu remain the authorities on Thaumaturgy within the Sabbat. Their distrust of the Salubri Antitribu has been noted and largely ignored. When tensions do flare, the Tremere anticlan tend to take the blame, much to their dismay.
- Tzimisce
- The elder Tzimisce — those who, to put it bluntly, run the show, have changed little. Their concerns do not lie on the fields of battle; they hardly even lie within the Jyhad. The Tzimisce are more than overjoyed to keep their support behind the younger Sabbat, urging them to continue to fight, rally, and defend the territories on which the Tzimsice have made their demense. With public awareness of Cainite interference in mortal politics, the Tzimisce have taken to calling again on the services of the Zanatos and Grimaldi ghoul families who have throughout it all maintained their mortal and vampiric ties. The younger Tzimisce, if anything, have simply become stranger. These Tzimisce could generally described as being three schools: the Vicissitude-freaks, who spend their nights, among other things, fascinated by the strange new toy of cybernetics — a replacement for flesh immune to the will of the Fiends' hands; the warriors (although some like to call themselves knights, they are far from chivalrous) whose sole purpose seems to be the perfection of their arts of ass-kicking for the glorious Sabbat, to whose ideals and teachings they hold tenuous (at best) loyalty; and the scholarly Tzimisce, who would but for their age be like their Sires' Sires' Sires. Strange, new Paths are rumored to be followed by these Tzimisce, and they are among the leaders of the groups pushing for a rebirth or revitalization of the so-recently-become-lethargic Sabbat.
- Ventrue antitribu
The Independents
Outside the Sabbat and the Camarilla the influence of the independent clans can be felt around the world.
- Baali
- Recently, Shaitan awoke in Mexico, and found himself surrounded by the chaos and confusion upon which he knew he would thrive. Quickly, the Baali began to flock to him. Unfortunately (for him), the sleep of the Ancients was not so easily shrugged off, and soon enough he had returned to torpor. However, since the Baali had already gathered in such masses, there was little to be done but begin the conquest of Mexico for Baal. Perhaps predictably, the Sabbat were -NOT- amused. The Baali were the source of the problems with the leadership Mexico City. That's right. Past tense. The Sabbat claim to have taken care of it. Do you believe them? Do you believe everything your leaders tell you? Neither do I.
- Caitiff
- In the topsy-turvy days of the Fall, the Caitiff seem only to increase in numbers. They value their independence and have made no effort to organize beyond the efforts of Joseph Pander who, every night, draws Caitiff away from the Camarilla leaning Anarchs with his swaying rhetoric of freedom and honor. They are generally viewed as inferior and pariahs by everyone else. They have, however, been of ever increasing number for the past two centuries, and many Elders see this as a sign of the coming Gehenna. Weird, purity based Catiff based cults show up now and again claiming that Caine had no clan. Everyone thinks this is a Malkavian prank.
- Daughters of Cacophony & Samedi
- The Daughters and the Samedi were always more of a breed than a collective bloodline. Some joined the Sabbat, others the Camarilla, some chose to cultivate their art in solitude and independence.
- Though their numbers have remained few, the Daughters have come into a light of at least somewhat more interest, many of them finding employment with the Giovanni. They remain fairly secretive about their own workings and their dealing with the Necromancers, but speculation abounds as to the reason and implications. There are rumours of some of these sirens engaged on 'tours' of Russia, but very little comes out of Russia these days. Regardless, they remain a rare and maddening presence whenever they do appear.
- The Samedi have only been appearing for a short time, but over the last 200 years the bloodline has heavily expanded. The bloodline of the Samedi has, if anything, grown in recognition and number during the Fall. Spatterings of one or two of the Zombies can be found througout BAMA, working in seclusion and dealing only in passing with the rest of the Kindred. Although their name is nearly unknown, more than one Kindred would make their egress with due speed if the Elysium was informed that the Zombies had announced their intention to visit. The Samedi of the Sabbat have a strange, sychophantic relationship to the Harbingers of Skulls that has Sabbat leaders wondering.
- Followers of Set & Children of Osiris
- The Follower's influence and numbers have only increased since the Fall. Mass destruction and the laissez faire corporate control are a breeding ground for Setite activity. The Setites, if anything, have grown more fervent and devout in their mysticism. Their theory? Set is coming, soon. Look busy. Entrenched in the Caribbean and West Indies, encroaching into South America, embattled with the Osirians to reclaim North Africa. This combat unwittingly provides a buffer zone which keeps the African jyhad from spilling north into Europe. Where there's slaves or drugs, eventually you'll find a snake. The war in the Nile Valley has caused several changes in the way the Followers of Set handle themselves - their mortal pawns have a severely shortened lifespan, and the elders of the clan have suffered brutal winnowing at the hands of both the Shesmu-Heru and the Bane Mummies. Many of the Warriors and Priests of the clan have returned to Egypt to protect and serve the hierarchy and elders. Outside of Egypt, the stereotype of Setites as drug and gun runners has been strengthened by their efforts to keep up with modern man's 'needs'. Let there be no doubt, though, that the Setites' temples and priesthoods remain in fairly good repair, bringing to the masses the salvation of all-encompassing love of the Lord Set and all it entails.
- The Children of Osiris are an altogether rare and reclusive line who mostly stay within the confines of their temples cultivating their precious Humanity. When they do venture forth into the world, it is generally only to hunt out and destroy enclaves of their bitter nemeses, the Followers of Set. They are app only.
Skirmish between these two in Egypt have grown more intense since the Fall. Magic is afoot in Egypt and it's probably not good.
- Ravnos
- Little new. With the wars, Europe's become a real playground for them.
- Gangrel
- Supposedly the Gangrel Justicar met his maker and officially removed the clan from the Camarilla. Some Gangrel remain in the Camarilla most do not.
- Giovanni
- Surprisingly, the Giovanni still have a foothold in Venice. Or perhaps the surprise stems more from the fact that they've gone from a totality of control, handed the city essentially on a silver platter in 2020, to nearly ejected during the course of April, 2032 by unknown adversaries. Very little has changed within the Necromancers that people know of, though their doors have, in general, been locked a little tighter and their windows shut a little faster. The new corporate mentality, however, is particularly inviting to many of them, and the Ventrue have found themselves in the position of having very capable competition standing against their corporate takeover strategies. With the Camarilla and the Sabbat in all out war, the strange bedfellow brought on by the Fall have lead to a loosening of the sanctions against the Devil Kindered. The Giovanni have by and large, left the North American sprawls alone, choosing to focus on their European power and their growing power with in the death-cult theocracy of the New Aztec Empire. They appear in LATMA now and again…on business of course. The sudden appearance of the ancient and powerful Harbinger of Skulls near Sabbat centers of powers keeps them ever at a distance.
App Only
The following clans are application only. Please see the vampire House Rules for how to apply for them.
- Ahrimanes
- The Ahrimanes were formed when an Old American Gangrel Antitribu used shamanistic magics to separate herself from her clan (and to render her vitae sterile.) They are wholly female of composition, existing mostly in the southern American states. They are extremely secretive and violent, enjoying material wealth and controlling many human pawns. They form packs of their own, and have a cordial if tense relationship to the Sabbat. Packs of Ahrimanes exist as in the mountains outside LATMA and only venture into the city when they need to.
- Kiasyd
- Old, weird, reclusive and rare, the Kiasyd have changed little since their creation. They remain loyal to the Sabbat, albeit nominally so. Really, they'd rather be reading.
- Salubri
- Dead. All dead. Or so everyone believed…until the Salubri Antitribu appeared with in the Sabbat. The members of the parent clan remain rare as ever but from time to time something strange is witnessed, which grows in the telling, and eventual traceback on these stories leads to common points - healing powers, prophetic powers, the Cyclopean third eye. The warlocks, predictably, dislike these stories. They are as hated and hunted as ever.
- Lasombra Antitribu -During the Anarch Revolt, the younger Lasombra turned against the Elder, slaying their clan founder and nearly all of his supporters. Those few who survived still denounce the actions of the younger Lasombra, hoping to one day again bring them into line beneath them. Though their numbers are very few, they comprise the majority of the scant Elders and Methuselahs of the clan.
- Tzimisce (Old Clan) - So ancient that even the oldest legends speak only of their childer, the Old Clan renounce thier childer who abandonded their ways, considering them their betrayers. They are not members of the Camarilla, Sabbat, or Inconnu, but are independant, on occasion working with each other in the fabled 'Ordea League,' but such is done only when all other possible avenues have been exhausted. They are, despite their dislike, much like their childer: macabre, evil, and placing little value on the lives of others. They generally have a good understanding of their own brand of Thaumaturgy, and place high value on privacy. They're old, they're paranoid, they live in Eastern Europe and they wear top hats. Enough said.
Inconnu
They are a small faction originally founded by Elders of the Ventrue, Lasombra, Malkavians and Brujah clans. They were very active during the height of the Roman Empire, but eventually withdrew from the Jyhad after the Anarch Revolt and the diablerization of Cappadocius. The most visible members of the Inconnu are called Monitors. Their duty is simple: they watch, for new bloodlines, major supernatural incursions, and drastic power shifts within the Kindred community.
The Innconnu have no active presence in LATMA, at least not that anyone is aware of.
