  • A video on the various sects from the tabletop roleplaying game, Vampire: the Masquerade. Most of the Vampires in the World of Darkness are solitary creatures. But the only thing more dangerous than a group of predators, is a group of predators organized against their prey.
    00:53 The Camarilla: Welcome to the Masquerade
    07:09 The Sabbat: Every Day Is Halloween
    11:53 The Anarchs: F*ck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me
    16:55 The Inconnu: I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me
    18:39 The Ashirra: Make Salah Like A Muslim
    21:02 The Laibon: I Bless The Rains Down in Africa
    23:50 The New Promise Mandarinate: Forget It Jake. It's Chinatown
    26:45 The Baronies of Avalon: Rule Britannia
    Extinct(?) Sects.
    29:36 The Children of Osiris: Walk Like An Egyptian
    32:32 The Tal'Mahe'Ra:
    35:55 The Conspiracy of Isaac:
    38:41 The Trinity/Triumvirate: Dream a Little Dream With Me
    41:51 The Eternal Senate: Gimme Back Me Legions

    What better way to start the new year than by enjoying a new WoD lore video by Lazar of Stygia

    Man, these videos are incredibly impressive. I don't know if it's the voice, the music or both, but I find the narration so relaxing, I often rewatch them at night and fall asleep listening to contrived vampiric schemes :). Also, in my opinion these are, by far the best lore videos around. All done by a guy with no profile picture, no drama and no shilling, just a bit of b&w art and some style. Makes you feel like youtube isn't completely owned by Pentex and there's still some of the old internet around.

    Generally I prefer the world being more divided between Anarchs sabat and Camarilla, I just like the anarchs having a bit more organization than just “3 cities for a few decades” and prefer it being a 3 way war

    well let’s just hope the new people in hands won’t ruined “the masquerade” just saying.
    Hope the new year be great to you, and your loving family, our dear elder and awesome storyteller and teacher.

    Appreciate the videos as always. Thin Bloods should have taken a note from their elders and organized, turned on vampire kind. Gone full-on blade and worked with some of the Hunter conspiracies.
    Would love a video on the different paths of enlightenment, to compare and contrast them with the Dharmas of the Kuei-jin. I'm also obsessed with learning more about the Yama Kings. Fuck it, top 10 video of the best or worst instances of Amaranth.

      Oh man, also...If you think there's enough content for it, that fucked up carnival of horrors that hangs out in Canada and tours all over. There's something about those Canadian vampires that are tainted by Decani that are very interesting. It's literally a dark carnival. The ICP jokes write themselves!

      Hunters woudlnt work with them to begin with probably.. And I am afraid that thin bloods is something that cannibalises itself after a while..
      They drag the neonates out of their hiding spots and keep diablerizing them until none remain, then hungry for power they would likely turn on each other and the elders just wait it out..
      Even if not, lets be real. the power gap between any elder and even a entire pack of thin bloods is to large.. They can mass dominate the entire group..
      How many thin bloods do you need to destroy Helena of Troy? A lot probably.. Cities worth perhaps to even attempt the attack and you would still fail horribly..
      They would be way out of their league..

    as of 2023, in terms of military strength and influence and numbers I would put the Sabbat as a distant 3rd place. the #1 is still the Camarilla with #2 as the Anarchs. Sabbat got mauled in the 2010s by a combination of the sabbat crusade in the Middle East and the 2nd inquisition, when the 2nd Inquisition starting doing their hunts, the most visible were the Sabbat, many Sabbat were destroyed by the 2nd inquisition and also by follow up Technocracy forces(in my opinion the true architects of the 2nd Inquisition). also with the defection of many Lasombra to the Camarilla, and Tzimisce going their own way, The Sabbat as of 2023 is probably the smallest of the three sects with a decentralization of command similiar to that of the Anarchs. The sabbat power structures got shattered a decade or so ago, now the sabbat is like a terrorist organization functioning in gangs and cells. The Sabbat still control a few cities(Madrid, maybe a few cities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe)is now under Camarilla control. WIth the loss of their earlier power structure, the sabbat is now poorly coordinated, and the packs do their own thing.

    Yah the Anarchs now comprised mainly of Brujah, Gangrel and Caitiff. just do their own thing very poor coordination unless its to the defense of their shared domains. the strongest domain or sub sect of the anarchs was the Brujah council who ruled the USSR and warsaw pact. during the cold war. Now extinct due to Baba Yagas Purge.

    Camarilla may espouse humanity as its "path of enlightenment" but there is a small underground of path of enlightenment or roads of those other than humanity, with path of power and inner voice and road of kings being the most substantial and influential. as its ranks were bolstered by large numbers of defecting Lasombra from the sabbat. also Path of honorable accord or Road of Chivalry being a second, also Path of lilith has been in the camarilla for a while now, but its very much small and underground. Path of Entelechy among the Camarilla Brujah is also there .

    This is one of the things I think Vampire: The Requiem got right. Its use of multiple competing sects with differing ideologies and philosophies regarding leadership and the vampiric condition seemed to work better than overloading the game with various (and often overspecialized and redundant) clans and bloodlines.

    Well from how Paradox has handled VtM and WoD lore in general for V5, I think its safe to assume that VtMB is canon to the V5 timeline but is non canon in the V20/Revised timeline. V5 is pretty much a soft reboot anyway and Kuei-jin have already been retconned out of the setting, now lets not even get into V5 Hunter and Werewolf which are just straight up reboots.
