Overview

The Cainite Heresy loresheet ties your character to Noddist faith: the belief that Caine was the first vampire, that his curse is scripture rather than biology, and that he will return to judge his descendants. Its clergy preach from the Book of Nod and treat every fragment of it as doctrine worth fighting over. The church is a medieval Cainite cult that worships Caine as a messianic figure, and it predates the Sabbat. Characters with this loresheet gain teachers, texts, and congregations, plus a set of theological rivals who consider their reading of the same fragments a capital error.

Tips and playstyle

Best For: Sabbat survivors, scholars, Lasombra and Tzimisce characters, coteries chasing Gehenna prophecy Story Hooks: A newly recovered fragment contradicts your sect's account of its own founding
