Editing Vampire: The Masquerade (section)

===Hecata===
A ''sect''?  Just kidding; the Hecata are not referred to as a ''sect'' in the published material, but they should be.  In ''V:tM'' v5 [[White Wolf]] decided to sloppily unite all of the necromantic bloodlines together into a single "clan"; as the majority of necromantic bloodlines are [[Cappadocian]] bloodlines this could have made sense except for the fact that the authors also lumped in the [[Nagaraja]], who are not a Cappadocian bloodline.  Despite the inclusion of the Nagaraja, the authors still opted to confusingly misuse the established term ''clan'' instead of calling the Hecata what they actually are: a ''sect'', a.k.a. an alliance of bloodlines.  One benefit of the merger is that any member of one of the merged necromantic bloodlines can trade their previous bloodline weakness for the painful bite of the [[Giovanni]].  Further, all of the [[Necromancy|necromantic]] and [[Obtenebration|obtenebrous]] Disciplines were combined into a single Discipline called ''Oblivion'' (which would have been cooler if the authors had not [[nerf|nerfed]] 3D obtenebrous tentacles down to cartoonish 2D shadows).  The symbol of the Hecata is three-faced Hecate, Greek goddess of necromancy.  The v5 material indicates that the Giovanni [[Antediluvian]], Augustus, was [[Diablerie|diablerized]]; as the Hecata are still described as a "clan" though, and their default clan Disciplines are those of the original Clan Cappadocian, this all implies that Augustus was diablerized by a [female?] Cappadocian [[methuselah]] going by the name/alias ''Hecate''.
