Last reviewed
Overview
The Descendant of Montano loresheet ties your character to one of the oldest surviving Lasombra, a Mediterranean elder whose name carries weight from Sicily to the Aegean. Montano's line is associated with restraint rather than the clan's usual appetite for domination, and with keeping faith when the rest of the clan changed sides. Characters with this loresheet inherit that reputation, for better and worse. Lasombra who followed the clan into the Sabbat and then into the Camarilla have complicated feelings about a bloodline that never needed either sect to tell it what honor meant.
How it works
Benefits: Standing among old Lasombra, contacts along Mediterranean coasts, insight into the clan's mastery of shadow Dot Levels: Higher levels mean a closer place in the lineage and older allies who answer when you write Obligation: Montano's descendants are expected to keep their word, which is expensive in Kindred politics
Tips and playstyle
Best For: Lasombra characters, elders and ancillae with European history, characters built around personal codes Story Hooks: Old debts surface when the clan's new Camarilla masters want something the lineage promised to protect
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to play a Camarilla Lasombra?
No. The lineage predates the clan's recent defection, so Sabbat holdouts and independents fit it just as well.
Does this give me extra Oblivion?
Not directly. The loresheet buys connections, standing, and knowledge. Discipline dots still cost experience.
