	Following the Camarilla closing its doors to all but exceptional kindred and the response from Theo Bell, the Anarchs have split off into their own sect proper. The average Anarch city is a mess of gang violence without anyone holding enough power to make Anarchs behave and usually either follows the trend of "the barons are just as bad as the princes" or Sabbat wearing anarchy symbols as the kindred form into gangs and fight nightly for territory, usually both.		Following the Camarilla closing its doors to all but exceptional kindred and the response from Theo Bell, the Anarchs have split off into their own sect proper. The average Anarch city is a mess of gang violence without anyone holding enough power to make Anarchs behave and usually either follows the trend of "the barons are just as bad as the princes" or Sabbat wearing anarchy symbols (which makes them rather vague) as the kindred form into gangs and fight nightly for territory, usually both.

	Not to say that going Anarch has no benefits. Sure life is tougher and fighting is rampant but night to night you have a little more freedom. The barons generally are slightly better than the Princes of old, and likely wont demand your fealty or gifts of blood so long as you stay out of their way, plus with a slightly more democratic leaning being a complete bastard is discouraged. However, with no obligation to be fair and even less in the way of oversight if you're not popular, you're at the mercy of other vampires and can expect little in the way of actual support or recourse.

Either as a result of that or the Banu Haqim Methuselah Ur-Shulgi deciding to get a little payback for the curse they levelled at his clan, the Tremere's blood bonds to the pyramid were broken, and the clan as a whole were left without the ability to blood bond kindred (ghouls can be bonded, albeit they need to drink more of the blood over a longer period). Between the destruction of their centralised leadership, the beckoning taking many of the elders out of the picture, the Banu Haqim joining the Camarilla (destroying their monopoly on blood sorcery) and becoming persona non grata in many places when the blood bonds broke, the Tremere are now fighting heavily to find any scrap of old occultish lore and have broken into several houses, all opposed. The houses are the loyalists under Karl Schrekt, Carna (quasi paganism with a feminist leaning), ~~Gotrix~~ (implied to be run by Tremere himself inhabiting ~~Gotrix~~'s body) and Ipsissimus (who joined the Anarchs). Good news, this means that there are now Tremere among the anarchs, bad (or better news, depending on if you were a fan of Thaumaturgy being a hundred disciplines in one), blood sorcery paths are all but gone, with most of the lore on different paths scattered to the winds, and the ones who know it not being inclined to share now that their clan structure has been subject to a beatdown conga.

	Cooking by the book. Thin bloods can't learn disciplines due to the curse being too weak to allow for these changes, however what they do have is thin blood alchemy, more akin to a list of rituals and potion brewing to allow for the user to produce and counterfeit a number of effects. Most of it is recipes to mimic other discipline powers, however some basic abilities (change someones body, minor displays of telekinesis or flying) are thrown in too. As its not a native power of "the vitae" it ~~doesnt~~ progress like a regular discipline, and requires the thin blood to research, experiment or get the recipe from another source (and can become plot points for long spanning chronicles on and of themselves), albeit it does require set up beforehand (you generally cant just say "I brewed the levitation potion" just because you need to escape to another building from the roof). There are 3 ways to run the power, mixing the ingredients yourself in a cauldron, drinks mixer or whatever else the user wants to use, drinking all the ingredients yourself to mix them in your own body or force feeding someone the ingredients and feeding on them. Not usable by vampires, making it the closest thing to a "clan unique discipline" in V5.		Cooking by the book.

	Much like Caitiff, a thin blood is not really a clan, its more the result of being embraced by a vampire who's too many generations removed from Caine. Like the caitiff, the thin bloods are generally shunned and the eternal whipping boys of kindred society. The Camarilla can and will murder them on sight (or, in kinder places, brand them with a hot iron like cattle), while the Anarchs treatment of them ranges the entire spectrum (like with all things Anarchs) of pity, bullying or even just straight killing them. They don't really have disciplines or the ability to learn them properly, though can still pull off some minor discipline effects if they taste another vampire's blood (a dangerous prospect for obvious reasons). Instead they're giving a discipline called thin blooded alchemy, which allows them to make concotions to counterfeit other clan powers with a few generic abilities like minor telekinesis, levitation or creating a cloud of fog thrown in to not be completely barren of unique, fun shit. They do, however, feel the curse less acutely than full blood kindred in most cases, often not having clan curses, able to eat, drink and fuck to their hearts content and some are even able to walk around in the day without any problems, though alongside that some still have a beast despite having weak blood, heal like a mortal or the inability to grow fangs as the curse ~~doesnt~~ manifest properly. A very common path for thin blooded kindred is either to attempt to become human again (trying the classics of kill the sire and the like) or try to get ahold of a full vampire and commit diablerie, gaining a substantial boost in power at the expense of losing their thin blood merits and taking the clan of their victim in the process.

Hiding their obviously fucked up appearance is now harder for them in addition, getting worse the more powerful their blood is. As for Lore, the sewer rats big information network (ShreckNET) got hacked by the NSA and helped give a large swathe of information regarding vampires to the second inquisition. With no other option, the Nos sadly pulled the plug and started dismantling it, some using their extensive technical prowess to try and purge any kindred presence on the net. They've since taken a huge hit to their credibility as a result, and the information sharing network to keep an eye out for the Nictuku is pretty screwed, though they're still considered very valuable thanks to their expertise and tenancy to aqquire secrets.
