Hidden Haven

Level 2.

Prerequisite: Tremere

This ritual is said to have been developed by the Council of Twelve to hide their massive library within the Carpathian Mountains. The ritual is difficult to cast, and must target a building no bigger than a large house. Once enacted, the building becomes generally unnoticeable; even individuals who know it exists do not notice it, nor do they remember it when asked. During the ritual, the caster must specify a physical "key" (such as spinning twice in a circle, tapping one heel on the ground three times, and then saying "Vitae Incorpora"). Any individual within 100 yards/meters of the building who performs this physical key correctly will penetrate the ritual and be able to see and locate the building without difficulty.

System: The caster must surround the building, and mark all corners, doorways, and windowsills with chalk made of owl-feather ash. The ritual takes a full night to cast, and requires the caster to sacrifice a permanent point of Willpower. Those who wish to find the building without knowing the proper physical key must approach within 100 yards/meters of the structure's location and make a successful Intelligence + Occult roll (difficulty 9) each time they wish to see through this ritual's protection. Hidden Haven's effects last for one year.
