Back to [[Level 7.]]

This extremely powerful ritual is used in the most important Tremere chantries and strongholds.  Few outside House Tremere even are remotely aware of its existence, let alone its power.  After the Convention of Tyre, where Nosferatu infiltrated the Assamite stronghold of Alamut, the Council of Seven quickly decided that the safety of the chantry in Vienna must never be compromised.  This ritual was the result of that endeavor.  At the locations that this ritual has been invoked, the powers that deceive the mind are almost negated.  For in the halls of these places, all that reside within have the unearthly power to pierce these illusions.  It requires the eyes of seven vampires who have lied to any of the Kindred invoking the ritual to be steeped in a special alchemical preparation, which is boiled away during the ritual's performance.<br>
'''System:'''Successful casting of this five-night ritual requires three thaumaturges concurrently to perform its incantations.  Upon the completion, the ritual enchants one structure (one building, one haven, or one compound) and will last for a decade.  Renewing the ritual requires a dedication by only one of the three who cast the original ritual.  While in effect, all Kindred within the structure are unaffected by Obfuscate, Chimerstry and similar powers of misdirection, including some permutations of Dominate.
