This has always been my thoughts on Saulot and where they should have taken clan Salubri: In the grand chessboard of the eternal Jihad, Saulot, the revered prophet and master of Valeren, orchestrates a masterful and ruthless gambit. Believing in the strategic power of sacrifice, Saulot deliberately allows himself to be diablerized by Tremere. This act is not one of defeat but a calculated move to infuse himself with Thaumaturgy, thereby gaining a crucial advantage in the supernatural war. Subsequently, under Saulot's subtle influence, Clan Tremere, now armed with this potent knowledge, embarks on a dark crusade against Clan Salubri. One by one, they hunt down and devour the members of Saulot’s original clan, seemingly leading to their extinction. However, the true depth of Saulot's plan unfolds as he uses the combined might of Valeren and Thaumaturgy to resurrect his old clan. The Salubri are reborn within the bodies of the Tremere members, creating a powerful hybrid lineage that could potentially dominate the vampire society. This strategic maneuver positions Saulot's reborn Salubri not just as survivors but as pivotal players in the ongoing Jihad, reshaping the power dynamics among the vampire clans.
Now that was intriguing. Does anybody else know that he is back in the tremere body? A antidiluvian walking about truly looks like a Gahenna situation.
So he's kind of like Vulkan where compared to the rest of the absolute evil monsters he hangs around with he's the absolute best person out of all of them while still using the Geneiva Convention to wipe his ass every time he goes to the bathroom?
@@glueboy I mean Vulkan did do some pretty nasty things, not counting the scenario with the crispy child since there's context needed for that event, Vulkan was a general for a fascist empire who brutally conquered worlds with armies that predominately used fire to burn everything in their way and committed several genocides against alien species. Vulkan may be the nice, good guy for 40K, but in real life he'd be one of the worst war criminals in history. Similar to how for humans Soulot is an absolute monster while for vampires he's Buddha-Jesus.
The Transylvania Chronicles also have a lot of possibilities for saulot, and boy does those 4 books make him a sh*tter. If you need help getting those I might be able to help there.
I always found it interesting that Saulot created the closest thing to a "good" clan (Salubri) and supposedly created arguably the most evil of the clans (Baali).
What about the part tremere became a huge worm (since he had tzimisce blood in him) and tremere, saulot and the eldest are fighting for control of the mage's body?

Loved the video and really love your presentation on explaining the lore. Definitely one of the more refreshing takes on lore. Been larping VTM for 20 years and firmly believe Saulot is legit the evilest of the Antediluvians 😁 after all he stole enlightenment from the Kuie-Jin, created the Baali and in my head canon let Tremere eat him so he could take over Tremere’s body (V20 edition), from the rip, so he could move onto his next experiment (implying all his other tinkering with Clan Salubri was experimentation). Also funny how he got diablerised, took over Tremere’s body but is also trapped in the Hunedoara Castle of the Inconnu inner circle.
Going with the curse from God concept, I’ve always ruled that reaching Golconda means turning back to human. Curse lifted thus you die. Because you’re already dead, the curse is what was keeping you animated and staving off death. Ie end of PC
A fun way to run Golconda. I could see some characters using that for some cool character concepts. Either the persuit of enlightenment only to find it means death, or persuit knowing the true end goal. Lots of opportunities there.
If my memory serves, there's a form of Galconda, either background or power. Where the higher levels let you last in Sunlight. That with fortitude, could add into that conspiracy theory
Saulot is not a nice guy. Saulot is playing the long game with Tremere both Clan and person. Most of Antideluvians are shades of bad and smart ones are more covert Light shade of evil I would have to say is the original Brujah and not Triole. Ennoia was into the stuff from the Wyrm and it's labyrinth. The only good thing she did was keeping powerful Wyrm spirits from this world through Endiku. It's a good result but we didn't get her exact motivations for why she into evil nature spirits. The thing is with ancient Vampires and from Methsulahs and up humans can no longer provide sustainence to them. Thirst of Ancients and the younger vampires are just cattle to the older vampires. Portia from Clan Toreador better known as Helen of Troy deliaberizes younger Vampires.

More interesting tbh. Good writeup here.
Jesus running crowd control

He took over Tremere, threw Tremeres soul out of his body, which ended up in Goratrix's body. Goratrix soul was imprisoned in a mirror.
Wow I'm going to have to rewatch this when my schizophrenia settles down lol saulot is complicated as fuck
So he's kind of like Vulkan where compared to the rest of the absolute evil monsters he hangs around with he's the absolute best person out of all of them while still using the Geneiva Convention to wipe his ass every time he goes to the bathroom?
He's like Vulkan but if Vulkan did go out and do a few actually shitty things along the way. But mostly just good by comparison.

The most humane and merciful of all the antedeluvians.
That bar is so low to the ground, you could step over it!

Could you fix your playlists please
How are they messed up?
@@glueboy I assume he means that while you do have a clan playlist, you don't have a WoD playlist.
@D--FENS Makes sense if thats the problem. I havent made another VtM playlist cause I only had 1 non clan video out before this one lol
