Do you know who considers faith among the dead a trivial concept — or worse, a new one?
Dullards and con artists.
These vampires want you to believe that religion is a new phenomenon among Kindred. They want you to believe only vampires on the periphery subscribe to the worship of higher powers or seek a greater cause.
They want you to believe this, because they want you to feel alone, without purpose, and disconnected from our true, spiritual — no, God-given — heritage and destinies. They’ll make you feel this way, and then they’ll be your friend, your only confidante, and they’ll have one hand in your pocket while the other measures your ribcage for the stake.
Do not trust these people. Trust us. Trust me. I didn’t survive for as long as I have through mundane means, through lack of conviction, or by fooling myself into believing there is nothing greater than myself in the world. Join me, and I can show the truth. I can be your friend and your confidante. There may be sacrifices along the way, but I promise, it will lead to your enlightenment.
Children of the Blood includes:
- An expansive collection of new SPCs to use as antagonists and supporting characters.
- A ready-made coterie of characters that allow you to start playing with frenzied speed.
- A bloody banquet of new Loresheets, Merits, Flaws, and Backgrounds to further expand your characters and chronicles.
