===Extinct Lineages=== Although hinted at existing in 1e, 2e makes it explicit that Lineages of Prometheans rise and fall all the time, and many ultimately go extinct. Although Extempores are the most obvious candidates for such a fate, they're not the only ones. ====Amirani, the Prophets==== [[File:LineageAmirani.png|100px|right]] ::'''Humour''': Choler ::'''Element''': Fire The precursors of the Frankensteins, who died out by the 1800s. They take their name from a hero of Georgian Mythology, who gave humanity the knowledge of metals. The first of their kind was an alchemist who learned how to refine metals from stone, and was killed either by the gods, or a jealous rival, who [[Rip and Tear|tore his entrails from his body]]. His wife, who was also an alchemist, then dug up his body and restored it with alchemy and metal prosthetics, bringing him back as a Promethean. Like their progenitor, Amirami bear clear signs of the horrific injuries that killed them while mortal, as they can only be created from the bodies of people who died in agony such as tortured heretics and executed prisoners; even those who have no visible wounds still stink of brimstone. They have vivid visions of the Divine Fire upon death, and after awakening, they possess a need to spread the story of their vision, and to call on its power to change the world, leading to their nickname; it also fuelled their Torment, which caused them to become wrathful and violent should they or their world fail to live up to their exacting standards of perfection. Their Disquiet made others painfully aware of their personal shortcomings, producing feelings of inferiority and resentment. The last known Amirani, Vates, died in 1816. Legend has it that his heart and bile were used by Mary Shelley, as in the author of ''Frankenstein'', and John William Polidori, the author of ''The Vampyre'', to create Adam, the first Promethean of the Frankenstein lineage. ====Xibalbans, the Denied==== ::'''Humour''': Sanguine ::'''Element''': Air The precursors of the Galateids. They were named after the underworld of Mayan Mythology. They were created from the corpses of sacrificed people that laid on altars running with blood and were thought by normal humans to be death-spirits robbed of the chance to face their trials in the underworld. They always sought out simple pleasures and causes for which they could fight and die for. Their Torment filled them with bloodlust such that they would seize upon any excuse to kill people, while their Disquiet compelled those around them to "send them back where they came from" by way of killing them in ignonimous ways. ====Colossoi==== ::'''Humour''': Unknown ::'''Element''': Unknown The Colossoi were all created by the Colossus of Rhodes. Before we explain more, a bit of context is needed. See, a long time ago a bargain was struck between the [[Changeling: The Lost|Lost]] (specifically, a proto-Court called the Dream Builders that had an interest in Prometheans) and an entity calling itself "The Lady of Life Beyond Death". This pact, while originally limited to the Great Pyramid, was eventually dispersed across all the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, generating a field called Miasma. Weaved from a mix of Pyros and Glamour, the Miasma stifled Disquiet, kept the Gentry and their Huntsmen out save for five days of the year, and allowed changelings to travel to and from the Hedge more easily. The Colossus itself was a massive Promethean; while it was unable to move on its own, it could manipulate its internal alchemy to create new Prometheans that could undertake the Pilgrimage on its behalf, sharing their Vitriol and Athanors with it. In exchange, it offered sanctuary Prometheans and changelings alike. Like the other parts of the "Web of Seven", the Colossus was targeted on a semi-regular basis by the Others, as well as an organization led by Alexander IV's aunt that sought to use its life essence to resurrect Alexander the Great. Ultimately, it was destroyed in an earthquake in 226 BC and the power of the Dream Builders' bargain failed soon afterwards; nobody knows if it was ultimately able to reach the New Dawn or if any members of the Lineage it created survived.
