Personal Information

Savina is the kind of Kindred who has survived the centuries through careful, and constant, caution and contemplation. Having survived the Inquisition, the Anarch Revolt, and the founding of the Sabbat, she's retreated in favor of intellectual pursuits, and political support. She's known to be a remarkable scholar and source of knowledge on the Kindred condition, and is believed to be one of the Southern Hemisphere's more prominent Noddist scholars.

Timeline

• c. 1330: Rules over a small part of Slovakia, south of what will become Bratislav. Savina maintains a small batch holdings - a grouping of villages and towns - though does so under the long shadow of her Sire. She holds control over the city through vicious fear and supernatural powers; it's said that those who trespass upon her land are swallowed by it. The sheer fear of those under her control and frantic belief in the pagan beliefs that would supposedly keep them safe will hold off the majority of the Inquisition's incursions, along with the Society of Leopold's focus on Western Germany.
• 1362: The Anarch Revolt sweeps through Eastern Europe. Savina meets a Brujah known only as Bonebreaker and the gang that follows her, and is rapidly inducted into the sect that would, eventually, become the Sabbat. Her holdings become a haven and territory for the pack, and her Sire sees the upstarts as a vehicle to eliminate Tremere holdings, still bitter over the Omen War.
• 1379: Takes part in assault on Vienna, using the fighting caused by the Austro-Hungarian empire as they made the city their own. Abandons assault on the elders to chase rumors of a Tremere chantry existing in the city at its' Elders' blessing. The pack (with assistance) raze the chantry to the ground, but the crusade is ultimately unsuccessful.
• 1380: The Anarch Revolt intensifies; her pack play a vital part, holding fiercely onto the outlying lands of Bratislava against nearby Vienna.
• 1413: The assault on Tzimisce. Her pack participates in the raid.
• 1413: Returns to her original homelands to find them locked under the influence of the advancing Lupine tribes, having taken advantage of the chaos caused by Tzimisce's death. Her pack's battle for control will consume the majority of the 15th century.
• 1493: Convention of Thorns is signed. Sabbat begins to form.
• 1498: Accepts representatives of the then-present Sabbat into her holdings. They transform her now-shattered humanity into the Path of Caine while explaining the core principles of the fledgling sect.
• 1507: A counter-assault by the newly-formed Camarilla (spurred by those Tremere who had survived the Vienna assaults and were eager for revenge) pushes the Sabbat out of her native Slovakia, and the territory the pack held. Separated from her home soil, she holds off her clan weakness as long as she can before eventually slipping into torpor to escape her suffering.
• 1509: The Sabbat reclaim East Slovakia. Her pack is forced to spend considerable political capital to ensure access and control of its former territory.
• 1510: The vicious infighting between the two new sects starts to stagnate. Despite the close proximity of Bratislava and Vienna - two opposing Camarilla cities - the influence each sect holds is too great to be broken, and the vicious infighting eventually lapses into a cold war.
• 1520: Eventually, Savina parts ways with her pack. Bonebreaker and the other members are eager to travel and learn more, but Savina's ties to the land means she's reluctant to leave.
• 1520-1770: The fall of feudal society and decline of Tzimisce and Sabbbat power in Slovakia. Savina acts as a scholar of Sabbat history. She forms a new pack alongside various other Sabbat of Bratislava, acting as Pack Priest. Most of her time is spent hoarding secrets and knowledge, but it comes at the cost of mortal control. The legendary tale of the raven witch is passed on until it becomes a light part of folklore, rather than a terrifying warning to be obedient.
• 1773: The Bonebreaker, returns with a new childe in tow. Seeing her waning control of Slovakia, the pack reforms to stand firm against fresh Camarilla incursions.
• 1783: Centuries of fighting in the shadows finally concludes when Joseph II, king of Hungary, begins to abandon the city to strengthen a better union between Austria and Hungary. As more nobles succumb to the influence, Bratislav eventually falls. A significant portion of the Sabbat fall defending the city, though her pack, located in the surrounding fiefdoms, successfully escapes.
