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.
