Quote

"What horror have the Methuselahs wrought? What grotesque affairs of terror and destruction have they birthed upon this planet?"

"Their cruelty and depravity are legendary, and none can match them for atrocities - and then there is the Black Hand."

"Defender of right, servant of the clan sires and instrument of justice, the Hand plays a central role in the World of Darkness."

"Far more than the assassins of the Sabbat, the Hand plays its part with all the considerable skill an ancient society can muster."

Dedication

"As darkness enfolds this aged flesh long ago grown cold, the regrets come. Regrets. To never see the sun or feel its warmth long night after darkened night through an eternity."
"We alone among all Earth’s creatures know what longing is, for we have given up God’s rest. We yearn for a single spark to pierce the gloom that descends upon us as we hide our faces away from each new dawn, night after shrouded night."

"What do the carping anarchs know of longing? Of loss? Of oppression? We are oppressed by time itself, by the sadistic jest that is unlife eternal, lived for centuries."
"Immortality is not a blessing. It is the most monstrous of burdens."
"Of all the issue of God, none but we precious few know the pain that comes with centuries -- the weight of responsibility, the cumber of authority, the yoke that is power."
"And yet to yield up a morsel of it is to incur utter and total humiliation. We will not step aside. We will not degrade ourselves to give up control or share power with the young."
"Let all the harrows of hell come to our door seeking what we have built in many lifetimes of toil. I will drag them all back down to the land of shades before I surrender a blot of pride."

-- Elysium, the Elder Wars (VTM -- 1994).

Arcana

Quote: The face was no longer bone, but animal - the face of a white wolf.
"I forbid you nothing. Nothing," uttered the awful face.
"You may go anywhere - you may open any door. But, little bird, remember you must be prepared to accept whatever you find." The long jaws spread in a smile filled with teeth.
