FRIDAY, JULY16 The Ordo Dracul The Order teaches that nothing is permanent, that even vampirism can be overcome. The Dragons have developed a number of supernatural paths that lessen the effects of the Curse, paths they call the Coils of the Dragon. Although there is no evidence of any Kindred fully escaping the Requiem through the Dragons' rites, the Order's beliefs still attract Kindred of all types and ages into its ranks. All are welcome, so that their knowledge and experiences of the vampiric condition can be shared. This growing pool of knowledge is one of the Dragons' goals – the more they know of the Curse, the better they can act against it. Benefit: Members of the Ordo Dracul may learn the Coils of the Dragon. The Coils of the Dragon are a special set of rites that allow Kindred to overcome some parts of the Curse. Next Week: Blood on Bourbon Street – Next week we head down to the French Quarter to meet some of the Kindred of New Orleans, the "signature city" of Vampire: The Requiem. |
The
Ordo Dracul claims to follow the teachings of Vlad Tepes, Dracula
himself. Dracula claimed to have no sire, struck by God with undeath
for his abuse of faith. The Dragons, as they are known, comprise
one of the youngest major factions of the society of the Damned.
Their supposed founder has not been seen in over a century, and his
absence further brings the Ordo Dracul into question with some Kindred.
