C171 Blame and Man (1/2)
Vampires were divided into thirteen clans. The clans were all of the same blood, and had the same characteristics as the Vampires. The thirteen clans were respectively: Bruchs, Gangros, Last Kavius, Nofel, Touretto, Touretto, Rui Mo Clan, Van der Zoo, Lesenbart, Rinsyi Clan, Asha Mai Clan, Xi-Tai, Giovanni, Giovanni, Giovanni, and Cappadocia.
In order to survive, the thirteen ancient families had to form an alliance to resist the Holy See's attacks. The alliance they had formed was called — the Dark Alliance, also known as the ”Dark Council”. In order to restrain their subordinates, they had formulated a rule that they had to follow together, and their respective spheres of influence were set out.
They have laid down six rules that must be observed: 1. Masquerade: In general, the Dark Alliance vampires cannot let humans know their vampire identities. Unless necessary, do not engage in conflicts with humans, and meet them in disguise as humans. Of course, coming out to draw blood was another matter. 2. The right to claim authority: The different races have their own territory, have the right to self-control, gain the respect of outsiders, and the elders have the right to execute intramural vampires and intruders. 3. Progeny: It should not be used at first sight. The development of descendants should be approved by the elders, but the execution of this rule is not so good. 4. Accountability: The responsibility to educate the vampires you develop, and to take responsibility for all the mistakes they make. 5. Respect: Consistent with the second. Vampires are required to enter other peoples' territories with respect to their lord and obedience to the orders of their elders. 6. Destruction: Death of a person who kills his own kind without permission. (OMG) (OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG)
The Bruchs is a good scholar and warrior who strives for the perfection of the body and the soul. Remembering the golden age, the elders of the clan relished the lost Carthage. Unfortunately, there is nothing more painful than disillusionment. The destruction of Carthage made the Bruchs extremely resentful, while the refusal of the other clans to lend a helping hand caused the Bruchs to experience pain and suffering. As a result, she had been fighting. Bluch fought with the Van der Zoo because they had destroyed Carthage, Bluch fought with the Lesenbart, because they encouraged acts of defiance, and Bluch fought with the Reims because they had murdered the Saul clan. There are many examples. If she did not have the conviction to love, Bruchs would not be like him. It was generally believed that the modern Bruchs was like a spoiled child, lacking the sense of honor and history. As the pillar of the Great Rebellion, the Bruchs rarely submitted to the founders of the Dark Alliance, and she generally didn't have a good impression of the elders. Although the Bruchs was considered a member of the Hidden Alliance, they were still the instigators of the alliance. They continuously probed the bottom line of the Alliance's commandments and rebelled against the society for the sake of their own convictions. Many of the Bruchs s were radical reactionaries. They looked down on their own authority and didn't put the prince in their eyes.
The lonely, wandering Gangros roamed the forest at night. Different from other clans, the Gangros rejected the temptation of civilization and chose the lonely wilderness. Their organization was loose, they liked to act alone, and they were dismissive of the etiquette of humans and vampires. In fact, rather than dealing with humans or vampires, the Gangros would rather be with wild animals. The Gangros that lingered in the night was a savage vampire with unsettling wild and animal characteristics. They rarely stayed in the same place all the time. To be able to roam alone under the night sky was the greatest wish of the Gangros. The estranged, cold and barbaric Gangros's fate was usually extremely tragic. Although they hated the crowds and restrictions in the city, the werewolf made it difficult for them to survive in the wilderness.
The Last Kavius was perhaps the most chaotic clan. Sometimes elegant and shrewd, sometimes seriously insane. However, this was just one side of the Last Kavius. Apart from their well-known madness, they have little in common. Even so, the other clans still admitted the Last Kavius without a choice. For generations, the oracles of the Last Kavius have played an important role in the history of the vampires. Even the Lesenbart and the arrogant Van der Zoo had to seek knowledge from the Last Kavius. Of course, they had to keep their distance. The people of Last Kavius were all vexed and troubled, as they were all forced to accept losses due to the moon. Legend has it that the founder of the Last Kavius was an important figure among the ancient vampires, but she committed a crime that was unforgivable. As a result, he was cursed by Cain. In the history of the Strigoi, vampires had always kept their distance from the Last Kavius, but they had no choice but to turn to them for help.
The Nofel carried an ancient, terrifying curse. They no longer had the form God had bestowed upon them. The process of becoming vampires had forever changed the Nofel, causing them to lose the beauty that humans and angels could see in their eyes. Abandoned by human and Strigoi society, the ugly and terrifying Nofel had no choice but to live in secret places such as catacombs, sewers, and other medieval worlds. Recently, with the rise of the city, certain Nofel have ended their life of exile. Even so, this situation was not common, and most of the vampires still looked down on the Nofel. The Nofel was cursed by his figure. The potential power to suck twisted them and turned them into nothing more than monsters. The Nofel was the perfect source of information and a collector. Appearance forced them to master the mysterious ability of concealment, even in the absence of cover, it did not affect them.
Long ago, Touretto was a lover of all kinds of beautiful things. Beauty meant a lot to the Touretto, so they put all their energy into feeling it and immersing themselves in it. The Touretto considered himself as the guardian of beauty, as well as the inheritor of the flame of inspiration. Amongst all the vampires, the Touretto was the clan that envied humans the most. The people of Touretto were more or less indulgent, they said that this was all to enlighten the art world. In most cases, this was true, because the Touretto did indeed have many talented artists, musicians, writers, and poets. On the other hand, there are some pretentious people in the clan who imagine themselves great artists, but do not have the ability to create beauty.
The Tremere were originally a group of human mages who fervently desired endless lives in order to achieve perfection in their spell casting skills. This group of people's efforts were fruitful. After sacrificing the lives of an ancient Strigoi and their descendants, they finally obtained eternal life. At least, that was what they thought. In fact, they became vampires. The Reims were always shrouded in a veil of mystery. The creation and use of the Blood Magic, the secretive Reims, had a strong political organization, based on the acquisition of power. Some Strigoi believed that the Rui Mo Clan was not a vampire at all, but a group of human magicians who were in the midst of immortal life research and cursed themselves for not dying.
The Van der Zoo moved from the battlefield to the next battlefield, from one throne to the next. The Van der Zoo was a knight and king in the game of chess in the Strigoi. They were the incarnations of conquests, wars, and crusades, ruling the palaces and palaces. Some Van der Zoo were the conquerors of the dead Fang Xiu, while others were successful merchants or lenders. Even though they had won in a certain area, their final reward was to become a Van der Zoo. There were no failures in the Van der Zoo, there were only deaths due to successes and failures.
As the nominal leader of the Dark Alliance, from the beginning, the Van der Zoo was the creator and supporter of the Alliance. Their active involvement in the Sacred War had a huge impact on the actions of the Strigoi. Although she was unwilling to admit it, Van der Zoo was still a noble amongst the vampires. They hope to atone for their sins by the exercise of the commandments and the subterfuge.
