The Voivode Era
We ruled like gods. Mountains bowed. Peasants prayed to our shadows. Our keeps were alive—sinew, blood, and stone. Mortals were cattle; Kindred were clay. We were sculptors of fate.
Doctrine is a scar that learned to speak.

It was our childer who lit the fire. They refused our rule but inherited our fury. From that bloodbath rose the Sabbat—our bastard child, warborn and wild.
Built by Vykos, rumored to live still. It is said to pulse, breathe, dream. A monument to Vicissitude. Or a warning to those who misunderstand it.
To transcend the curse of Caine by becoming something more. Or less. To shed form, name, soul. To become truth.
The world digitized. We bled. The Sabbat collapsed into incoherence. Vicissitude is now whispered, not taught. The Old Clan hides behind ritual and pride. The young clutch cybernetic dreams and fail to comprehend what it means to rule.
But we persist.
