Quote

World of Darkness collage.jpg

"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."

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.

Noteworthy Locations

Quote: What powerful but unrecorded race, Once dwelt in that annihilated place. — Horace Smith, “Ozymandias”

Vampire players have always enjoyed the sense of completeness reflected in the World of Darkness — the idea that, as wheels turn within wheels, something they do in their home domain might have repercussions as far away as Venice, Mexico City, or even in the Underworld home of the True Black Hand. The setting truly is a world of darkness, with clans, sects, and mysterious groups and individuals plying their private agendas under moonlit skies. Even when a coterie solved a mystery, something else was always out there, hungrier and bigger than they; that idea is one of the horror elements that still characterizes the world of the Kindred and the more inscrutable things with which they share the darkness. Here, then, are several notable locations of particular significance to the Race of Caine.
