introduction:

Gehenna was perhaps the single worst thing to come to bear in kindred history, but it was such a quiet thing humanity might have missed it, it came not with armies and great wars, but as kine and kindred had been separated, a curse and an unquenchable thirst for blood.

A terrible voice rang through the blood of each Cainite, it was, as any who heard knew, the first language, before the fall of Babel, yet none could reproduce its ancient sounds, for god's curse held firm. Though down to the most feral of kindred its meaning was known, “as god cursed me, I curse my childer. That they may know the father's thirst.”

Suddenly, even the highest generation of nosferatu only found substance in the homeless, the need for blood was great, for now, it had to be no less than three generations weaker than one's own, to the eleventh, which needed to feed on blue blood at least. the oldest and lowest generation immediately entered torpor or tore all apart to satiate their fits of hunger. Subsequently, they sired hordes in vain attempts to establish artificial foodchains. Generation after generation turned and slaughtered just to thin the chain as much as possible. A line could go fifth generation, eighth, eleventh, thirteenth, human.

First act:

(characters should be within at least one generation of human feeding at the beginning of the campaign. Diablerie is heavily encouraged as a means of survival. While one does not necessarily have to kill their new prey, they must consider that it is a relatively new norm in vampire society.)

‘’The curse laid bear” (act 1 scene 1)

Kindred all around the world have terrible nightmares of a blood-soaked creature, obviously only human in form, for the essence of its being was so powerfully unholy as to be mistaken for one the fallen sons of Yahweh. Kindred borne after the curse has been laid will have these dreams upon embrace.

The creature speaks in a rhythmic and infuriatingly familiar dialect, no matter what language the kindred speaks. Regardless of this, as long as the being was human before embrace. They naturally understand the words fluently.

This scene should function on the inhumanity and more so the sudden violence of the situation. For example, A la Sombra court ripped to shreds at dusk as the bloodsoaked victor still succumbing to torpor, drowned in his own power even as he thirsts for more vitae, or a brujah suddenly possessed to slaughter his childer, standing barely conscious over the body as they weep and groan in turns.

“Waking the beast” (act 1 scene 2) characters should be embraced or present at the embrace of others in this scene. Regardless. For the duration of this scene, whenever making a courage or frenzy roll difficulty is increased by three dice.

After waking the available blood pool not consisting of vampire vitae within three generations less or greater than one own are discarded, after feeding this scene should be used to establish personal views on this carnage and personalities
