Editing Vampire: The Masquerade (section)

==Fallen Clans==
The above thirteen Clans were not the initial thirteen Clans that ran around. Through machinations and clever plotting two of them have been wiped out and replaced by another Clan.

===[[Cappadocian]]===
[[File:Cappadocian.png|150px|right]]
*'''Antediluvian: Cappadocius''' (a.k.a. Ashur?) (Diablerized by Giovanni, but his soul survived)
*'''Signature Discipline:''' [[Necromancy]] (the OG necromancers), Mortis (Thanatosis' strong and useful father)
*'''Sect:''' Independent (their destruction predates the Camarilla and the Sabbat)
*'''Clan Weakness:''' Corpselike appearance, or painful bite
Necromancers, scholars and all-round bros with genuine concern for humanity and God, Clan Cappadocian preferred to stay away from the other Clans and focus on expanding their knowledge and power. Vampires of the "I wake from torpor and read for the next hundred years" variety. 

They expanded their ranks by Embracing known scholars or promising noblemen and -women. This entrenched them firmly into monasteries, universities and courts of Europe. The main research focus was death, making them expert necromancers. They didn't care for petty squabbles and politics, in which other clans were delved into, mostly aiding [[Ventrue]] in return for needed stability and resources to further their research. Their antediluvian was a little schizoid, though, who [[wat|initially interpreted his visions as a sign that he should've eaten God]]. (Seriously, what the hell...?)

The clan was/is Christian and very zealous while at it. As in, not only the clan members, but Cappadocius himself embraced Christianity. Which interestingly makes him the only religious Antediluvian. Due to this, large amounts of priests and monks were present in the clan. This is, probably, also one of the reasons for why Giovanni takes the whole "excommunicate all non-Christians from the clan" thing very seriously, despite them being inbred degenerates. Speaking of [[Giovanni]], Cappadocians made a fatal mistake when they embraced them, initially a family of merchants and ghost summoners from Venice, and it all went downhill from there, ending with Cappadocius being diablerized by Augustus Giovanni. [[DOOM: Repercussions of Evil|And then Cappadocius was a Wraith...]]. 

No openly-admitted Cappadocians survive to this night except ONE incredibly powerful 4th Generation Golconda-seeking lord of Istanbul named Mahatma, mainly because of intense Giovanni effort to make sure this is the case, and probably because in the [[grimdark|World of Darkness, being a decent, friendly and harmless vampire scholar gets you killed horribly]]. Fucking merchants... 

Still, it's a foolish kindred indeed that counts out ancient necromancers. See the [[Samedi]] and the [[Harbingers]] of Skulls for proof. Because, obviously exterminating a clan that are experts at death and its workings is kind of improbable. 

In ''V:tM'' v5 [[White Wolf]] decided to reintegrate all of the Cappadocian bloodlines back into a single clan, but instead of calling the clan by its original name they renamed it as '''[[Hecata|Clan Hecata]]''', only it is more of a sect than a clan as it also sloppily includes the [[Nagaraja]] necromancers who are not a Cappadocian bloodline.

===[[Salubri]]===
*'''Antediluvian - Saulot/Zaolat''' (Either a literal saint or a really angry triclops with daddy issues, possibly both)
*'''Signature Discipline – Obeah, Valeren (if you are a Warrior/Fury), either of the two if you're a Wu Zao/Watcher'''
*'''Sect – Independent''' (or Sabbat if you aren't a bitch)
*'''Clan Weakness:''' Can't feed from a vessel without consent, can't feed ''with'' consent for later Salubri. Any Salubri with at least two dots in Obeah/Valeren will grow a third eye in their foreheads. Generally, this third eye can be closed, but there are some who cannot close them, making them walking Masquerade breaches unless they wear a headband or something (which physically irritates the eye to hell and back). "Good" Salubri need to burn Willpower to avoid helping others, sort of forced Empathy going on there. Also, since V5, their vitae (vamp blood) is so tasty it can make other Kindred go into Frenzy and OMNOMNOM them to Final Death. Their extra eye also now bleeds when they use disciplines.

What are the Salubri? Well, the mainstream Salubri were Monk Vampires constantly seeking out the vampire version of internal zen of [[Golconda]], with a second, "warrior caste" that were Undead Vampire Paladins harnessing ANGELIC POWERS. Why don't you see them anymore in the modern nights? Blame the fucking Tremere. Before the Dark Ages the Salubri were highly regarded and cities always had one of them on a council because of how close they were to their Humanity. At the time the Tremere were still very much a new bloodline comprised of high generation vampires and were still very hated because they cheated their way into becoming Cainites. However, eventually Tremere himself and his closest buddies found out about Diablerie and found the location of Saulot, the Salubri's Antidiluvian. After diablerizing him as Saulot intended (see Crucible of God below), Tremere told all his friends and Childer to find a Salubri and start eating, [[Satanic Panic|all the while spreading a propaganda campaign about how The Salubri were all wolf in sheep clothing style psychopaths who worshipped Satan and committed diablerie so often they made Assamites say “yo, chill the fuck out.”]] 

Some surviving Salubri hid in the Muslim world, and now they're known as "Al-Amin" or "the trusted ones" by the rest of the local Kindred community. Some went to Africa, and degenerated into true soul suckers. Some joined to Wu Zao, their brethren in the east. Some became wanderers and drifters. And so the highly regarded Salubri were eventually hunted into near extinction, with those sheltered by the Islamic Ashirra “rumored” to be around seven with all the sires having had their Childer Diablerize them. Note the rumored because everything about the Salubri is mired in rumor and myth at this point. 

And so the Salubri passed into legend. [[Awesome|Until recently...]]

You see, around the 20th century, a Salubri healer named Adonai completely lost his shit, went over to the Sabbat side of things and forcibly mass embraced some mortals to hulk out and MURDERFUCK some Tremere. Meet the Furies, the resurrected (the first Warrior Caste was around the Bronze Age, rendered extinct fighting Tzimisce and Baali) Warrior Caste Salubri. These guys who the diametric opposites of the other Salubri; they don't limit their numbers and are badass fighters who will fuck all your shit up, then go out and murder a werewolf for kicks after raping a Tremere chantry and picking their teeth with their bones. Of course being the opposite to their kin means they can't feed from others with consent, but that's not an issue since you know, Sabbat. They [[RAGE|HATE the Camarilla because their inaction led to their clans near extinction and they utterly loath the Tremere with a passion as undying as they are]].

Both regular Salubri and their Sabbat counterparts technically use the same Discipline but depending on the editions you use it's either Valeren or Obeah (V20 treats them as separate) both deal in controlling pain and injury and depending on which version of the Discipline you're either healing pain or dishing it out in large portions. As mentioned there's all sorts of rumors about them, maybe they're the progenitors of the Baali, maybe not, maybe they're extinct, maybe not. People are even claiming Saulot's not dead so who even knows what's going on there, maybe ask the Tremere if you've got a death wish.
