Lore: Kiasyd ●○○○○

Novice: You know that the Kiasyd exist, and that they are sometimes referred to as Darklings, Weirdlings, or Nocturnae. You are aware that their primary Disciplines are Dominate, Obtenebration and Mytherceria, and that Mytherceria is unique to their bloodline. You have knowledge of their general appearance: they tend towards being abnormally tall and have black eyes. You have heard of the Kiasyd’s bizarre affinity with the Fae. You know Kiasyd have an aversion to cold iron and contact with it can cause them fear and pain. You have knowledge of the Kiasyd’s affinity for learning, study and books, and that they seldom engage in politicking or combat, in spite of their nominal affiliation with the Sabbat.

Lore: Kiasyd ●●○○○

Practiced: You are aware of the Darkling transformation that occurs after their embrace. You even know that sometimes a neonate will not survive the transition. You also have heard, or seen, that some possess a slight bluish tinge to their skin after feeding, others have eldritch ears, but this is not the norm. You are aware of Marconius and have been told he is the Prince of Strasburg and has been there for millennia. You are privy to the periodic Kiasyd meeting called The Grand Symposium. You’ve heard convincing rumors that the Weirdlings are a bloodline of the Lasombra.

Lore: Kiasyd ●●●○○

Competent: You know that the Grand Symposium is a series of academic presentations focused mainly on history and the occult, that it occurs every 50 years, is difficult to get into (with invites going out years in advance), but it isn’t exclusive to Kiasyd. In fact, rumors persist that such luminaries as Goratrix and Baron Samedi are regular attendees. You have been told they have a hierarchy that revolves around their research. You are wise to Marconius’ lineage as a 5th generation decedent of Caine, embraced by Lasombra and blood of an ancient Fae. You have at least heard, in passing, of famous Kiasyd such as: Bartholomew, the childe of Marconius and one of the oldest active Darklings in America; and Beatrice Le’Angelou, the eminent Sabbat scholar from Montreal.

Lore: Kiasyd ●●●●○

Expert: You have limited knowledge of Marconius’ disappearance between the 4th and 15th centuries. You are aware of the belief that he went into The Dreaming to learn Mytherceria. You have a working knowledge of the abilities and drawbacks of Mytherceria, from its two distinct paths to its various rituals. You know about the War For Strasburg, fought against the Ventrue of Alsace, with whom the Kiasyd still have tensions. You have heard of the Kiasyd-Baali war and are under the impression that the Kiasyd won.
