"Thou shalt not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood.
Doing so shall renounce thy claims of Blood"

-The First Tradition: The Masquerade

For centuries the Kindred have stalked the nights around and amongst the Kine, they keep their existence secret lest they face utter destruction at the hands of those they need to survive. Endless, ageless; they have only each other for company in a world that changes more rapidly with each century, with each decade and now every year. The older the Kindred the harder it is to keep up, only their ancient customs and dusty rules help hold them in restraint.

It is a fragile veneer at the best of times, and the younger Kindred are multiplying.
