This was known as Kupala's Night - the night the Tzimisce Clan established their power and damned themselves for the rest of eternity. The childer of the Eldest speak of a legendary single night in the Clan's history, during which their powers of Vicissitude were heightened to incredible levels, and their sorcerous magicks rivaled that of the gods. All of its chains to the mortal world were broken, save two: the Carpathian mountains, within which it had been bound for so long.

Though the Lupines attempted to keep the demon- spirit imprisoned, the Tzimisce triumphed, and Kupala was set free - mostly. Before the Deluge, and long before the rise of Rome, Tzimisce and its eldest and wisest childer gathered in the depths of the Carpathian mountains. Kupala's instruction of Tzimisce eventually culminated in an event known as Kupala's Night. In this interpretation, the Eldest is not just a creature, but also a visible manifestation of Vicissitude. Enoch, seeking to expel all of his bestial qualities spat out his existence into an Embrace using a modification of the Protean discipline - the beast, according to those Metamorphosists who adopt this theory is not just rage, but also change, whimsy, intuition and imagination, all traits that the Eldest showed after its embrace. However, at least one legend among the Tzimisce suggests that the Eldest was an experiment.

This penalty remains until they rest for a full day amid their earth once more. However on closer inspection it becomes clear that this is simply a mask hiding something alien and monstrous.įailure to meet this requirement halves the Tzimisce's dice pools every 2. Polite, intelligent and inquisitive they seem a stark contrast to the howling Sabbat mobs or even the apparently more humane Brujah or Nosferatu. At a casual glance or a brief conversation a Tzimisce appears to be one of the more pleasant vampires.

The Tzimisce have left the human condition behind gladly, and now focus on transcending the limitations of the vampiric state. If someone were to call a Tzimisce inhuman and sadistic, the Tzimisce would probably commend them for their perspicacity, and then demonstrate that their mortal definition of sadism was laughably inadequate.
