"Tremere , not content to steal vampirism from us, decided to crossbreed us like mongrel dogs. Fortunately for most of them, I try to be the better kindred." - Paige, Anarch tzimisce.
Out of all the clans (minor or greater) Gargoyles and Salubri have my deepest condolences. One being brought into the world as unwitting slaves from a hodge-podge of kindred blood, the other being driven to nigh extinction while on the path to find redemption to vampirekind. Anyways, in this short essay, I will talk about how much I FUCKING HATE THE TREMERE-
Though my care for my reputation as a harsh recluse lord loathes to say it, I have cared for one of these creatures. A gargoyle named Ashes, who had been bought and sold by slavers for his entire existence. He had, at various times, been a spy, a pit fighter, a guardian, a bodyguard, and a punching bag. He was a broken, child-minded creature who knew not how to even conceptualize his own freedom. I took pity of the thing, and took it into my domain to help him recover. It took years, but he now lives his own life. He still vistits from time to time, and provides me news and company. I will never forgive the Tremere for creating the Gargoyles without loving them. I understand Virstania did, to her credit, but the others I have nothing but contempt for. The father must never reject the son. It is one of the iron laws of the world, and yet another the Usurpers have violated.
Well done, though I'll disagree on one point - in my view, there are no Gargoyles remaining in service to the Tremere in the modern nights. The fall of the Pyramid destroyed the blood bonds holding them in place and I don't believe any would remain once that was gone.
Your voice as always, is divine! Loved the video and the lore! I couldn't help myself, but think of the 1994 gargoyles anime adaptation. Different lore and stories. But if... The gargoyles of vtm was stripped of great potential and lore and gargoyles of 1994 could be humongous because their lore was humongous but not used enough (according to me). Thank you nevertheless.
Despite being completely transformed into a new being, powerful Dominate commands from a Gargoyle's prior existence can remain in effect, such as in the case of Ublo'satha, who continues to be influenced by Menele (Chicago by Night, 2nd edition).
When I watched this video I decided I had to dig up an old dirty magazine called House of Tremere (WW2829). Gargoyles are actually assembled by Virstania (the original bbw), then un-birthed into the womb of a creature (vampire?) called Alvusia where they gestate for a number of months before being "born".
Would love to see you teach us more of these minor bloodlines, I'm coming back to V5 after a hiatus and wow there's so much more than what I started with.
If a Tremere Chantry captures a Gangrel, Tzimice, and Nosferatu they could just keep forcing them to embrace and using the childer to mass produce gargoyles. Doing this would be preferable to having Gargoyles mass produce on their own so you can ensure the blood bond to the Tremere and maintain high generation.
I love VTM but do all mythical creatures have to be minor bloodlines? Like sirens, gargoyles or even The Witch Baba Yaga. Gargoyles are more closely related to angels than anything else in our world. So why are they too vampires?
WoD has some really cool shit but they went too far and scraped the barrel for every last monster from every last culture until its like wait How are there any living humans anymore when there's a werelizard, a radiation ghost and a Crocula every square mile of the US
This is actually something that V5 has changed as in the past all of the other games in the world of darkness (Werewolf The Apocalypse, Mage The Ascension, ETC.) Actually contradict each other alot. Some characters and even historical figures have been different depending on which game you are playing. The books are basically written by the faction or creature you are playing and because of this it allows you to pick and choose almost anything. With the newest edition of Werewolf it seems like they are all fully in the same world as VTM unless I have missed something.
Im making a chronicle in post Inquisition London, where the Gargoyles have risen to actual Clan status at least in the city. Love this i ll defo use it for inspiration

Well, if the Tremere ever need to make more of these folks, I'm sure the local Sabbat would prove a convenient source of "materials"... [giggle]
Assuming there's any Sabbat left in the area to harvest.

I don't normally feel pitty for something but I do for this stone boyz :(

Can’t wait to hear about other creatures other than vampires in this series like the werewolves

Oooh gargoyle moving into the more Esoteric Kindred... Would love to hear your opinions on Baali, if they truly do exist.
Hey Ashspawn, I was curious to know if you are going to do a series on the Laibon? Preferably the Akunanse. Thanks for the consideration!
Probably not for a while but eventually.
3:29 - Source requested!
Are gargoyles playable in V5?
Currently sadly not
Tremere are a wet dream. They don't exist in our games.
what are ghouls video?
I will be doing other things after all of the bloodlines videos and Ghouls will probably be first
This is bad but still as not bad as what tsemichi do most of the time
