These cults dedicated to blood gods are among the most insidious, damning sects of Kindred, and tonight they approach their apex of power.

Details the history, structure, and ambitions of the Hecata, as well as a chapter dedicated to playing a vampire among the Necromancers, and the rituals for their signature Discipline: Oblivion.
• An in-character breakdown of the rise of esoteric beliefs among the ranks of the undead and how faith drives many of the major aspects of vampire culture.
• A host of religions – from historic theocracies and globe-spanning conspiracies to fringe cults and mortal beliefs arising in the modern nights – introduced for incorporation into your character backgrounds or as supporting casts and antagonist groups in your chronicles.
• Guidance on how to use ecclesiastical horror and construct cults in Vampire, making them a vivid backdrop for your own stories, including new coterie styles focused on cult play.
