Vampire: Dark Ages Supplement by Storytellers Vault / White Wolf
The year is 2350 B.C. The First City is a memory of ash and the Second City has fallen, but the ambition of the Cainites remains unwavering. In the heart of the Fertile Crescent, they do not hide in the shadows; they are the Anunnaki, the Living Gods who rule from atop their Ziggurats, demanding worship and sacrifice.
But who are these gods? What moves their hearts, stilled for millennia?
Tales of Mesopotamia is the missing piece of the Age of the Living Gods puzzle. Directly continuing the atmosphere of political intrigue established in Burning Gods, this anthology delves deep into the inner workings of the vampire castes that divide the ancient world.
Forget the stereotypes of the Victorian Age or the Modern Nights. Here, a Ventrue is not just an executive, he is a Priest-King with the divine right to rule. A Nosferatu is not merely a pariah in the sewers, but a chthonic monster feared like a plague sent from the heavens.
What you will find in this book:
- The Voice of the 18 Lineages: For the first time, explore the individual perspective of all 18 active lineages in the setting. Each tale is a window into a Clan’s soul, revealing how Lasombra, Tzimisce, Salubri, and others viewed their existence before the Camarilla or the Sabbat existed.
- Living Legends: Each tale is accompanied by the detailed background of its protagonist. These are not just names on a page; they are complex figures with allies, enemies, and ambitions that the Storyteller can immediately insert into their chronicle.
- Dual System (V5 & V20): Whether you are an old guard veteran or a 5th Edition neonate, the book offers full support. All 18 protagonists possess complete character sheets adapted for both systems, ready to be used as PCs or powerful NPCs.
- Glimpses of the Past: With original illustrations for each character, visualize the majesty and terror of the Cainites in their Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian attire.
The Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow red. Are you ready to drink from this history?
