| |
| − | The Code of Milan
| |
| − | By the solemn word of Recent Gorchist, this is the one true Code of Milan, revised from the original manuscript this
| |
| − | night, December 21, 1933. Out of the ashes of our great war may this peace reign everlasting.
| |
| − | An oath of allegiance has been sworn by the regent and the consistory in the presence of all faction leaders and 50
| |
| − | other witnesses to faithfully follow all regulations imposed by this code in leading the Sabbat. This revised Code of Milan
| |
| − | is agreed on by all Sabbat factions, including those of Cardinals Huroff, Bruce de Guy, Agnes and Charles VI; and
| |
| − | Archbishops Beatrice, Una, Tecumseh, Giangaleazzo, Toth, Aeron, Marsilio, Rebecca, Julian and Salluccio. All other
| |
| − | factions must pledge themselves in support of this revised Code of Milan or claim separation from the Sabbat.
| |
| − | These are the statutes comprising the Code of Milan:
| |
| − | I. The Sabbat shall remain united in its support of the sect’s regent. if
| |
| − | necessary, a new regent shall be ejected. The regent shall support
| |
| − | relief from tyranny, granting all Sabbat freedom.
| |
| − | II. All Sabbat shall do their best to serve their leaders as long as said
| |
| − | leaders serve the will of the regent.
| |
| − | III. All Sabbat shall faithfully observe all the Auctoritas Ritae.
| |
| − | IV. All Sabbat shall keep their word of honor to one another.
| |
| − | V. All Sabbat shall treat their peers fairly and equally, upholding
| |
| − | the strength and unity of the Sabbat. If necessary, they shall provide
| |
| − | for the needs of their brethren.
| |
| − | VI. All Sabbat must put the good of the sect and the race of Cainites
| |
| − | before their own personal needs, despite all costs.
| |
| − | VII. Those who are not honorable under this code will be considered
| |
| − | less than equal and therefore unworthy of assistance.
| |
| − | VIII. As it has always been, so shall it always be. The Lextalionis shall
| |
| − | be the model for undying justice by which all Sabbat shall abide.
| |
| − | IX. All Sabbat shall protect one another from the enemies of the sect.
| |
| − | Personal enemies shall remain a personal responsibility, unless they
| |
| − | undermine sect security.
| |
| − | X. All sect members shall protect Sabbat territory from all other powers.
| |
| − | XI. The spirit of freedom shall be the fundamental principle of the sect.
| |
| − | All Sabbat shall expect and demand freedom from their leaders.
| |
| − | XII. The Ritus of Monomacy shall be used to settle disputes among all
| |
| − | Sabbat.
| |
| − | XIII. All Sabbat shall support the Black Hand.
| |
| − | Addenda to the Code of Milan
| |
| − | Observed by all witnessing parties present on this night, December 21,1933,
| |
| − | and here after upheld.
| |
| − | XIV. All Sabbat have the right to monitor the behavior and activities of their
| |
| − | fellow sect members in order to maintain freedom and security.
| |
| − | XV. All Sabbat possess the right to call a council of their peers and immediate
| |
| − | leaders.
| |
| − | XVI. All Sabbat shall act against sect members who use the powers and
| |
| − | authority the Sabbat has given them for personal gain at the expense
| |
| − | of the Sabbat. Action shall be taken only through accepted means,
| |
| − | approved by a quorum of prisci.

| |
| − | The vampires of the Sabbat have evolved their own
| |
| − | specialized patois, much of which takes into account their holy
| |
| − | war on the Antediluvians and the attendant rituals and practices
| |
| − | that follow it. Particularly old Sabbat vampires even recall
| |
| − | terms and phrases that have long since passed into the nights of
| |
| − | forgotten history. Although many of these terms are in common
| |
| − | use among Sabbat vampires, some of them take on different
| |
| − | meanings colloquially, given the lack of formal communication
| |
| − | among sect members. Vampires who would “talk the talk” are
| |
| − | advised to be aware of everything they say and what it means.
| |
| − | Abbot: A vampire or ghoul charged with the maintenance
| |
| − | of a Sabbat pack’s communal haven.
| |
| − | Antitribu: Literally, “anti-tribe” or “anti-clan.” The antitribu are
| |
| − | vampires who have turned their backs on their “parent” clans and
| |
| − | now espouse the policies of the Sabbat instead. One notable
| |
| − | exception to this rule are the Lasombra antitribu, who have abandoned
| |
| − | the Sabbat in favor of independent or Camarilla unlives.
| |
| − | Antitribu are generally held in extremely low regard by their parent
| |
| − | clans, which is especially true in the case of the Lasombra.
| |
| − | Archbishop: A vampire who serves as the leader of a city
| |
| − | under the Sabbat’s influence. Not every Sabbat-held city
| |
| − | claims an archbishop; some have councils of bishops.
| |
| − | Auctoritas Ritae: A collection of 13 rituals practiced by all
| |
| − | vampires of the Sabbat, upheld in a manner similar to the
| |
| − | Biblical Ten Commandments.
| |
| − | Bishop: A vampire who serves or advises an archbishop, or a
| |
| − | vampire who maintains Sabbat influence in a city with the
| |
| − | aid of others of equal status. (Those who are in the know liken
| |
| − | bishops to the primogen of the Camarilla.)
| |
| − | Black Hand: The secret militia of the Sabbat. Some references
| |
| − | allude to another organization with the same name. The
| |
| − | “true” meaning of this term, if there is one, is a matter of much
| |
| − | uncertainty, even among those who claim to be members.
| |
| − | Blood Feast: A victim or group of victims, bound and
| |
| − | suspended upside down. Said victims serve as refreshment at
| |
| − | Sabbat functions.
| |
| − | Brave: A vampire participating in a war party.
| |
| − | Cainite: A vampire. Sabbat vampires use this term in places
| |
| − | where other vampires would use the term Kindred. Sabbat
| |
| − | vampires accept and claim descent from Caine, while the
| |
| − | Camarilla largely claims him to be a myth.
| |
| − | Cardinal: A Sabbat vampire who oversees the influential
| |
| − | affairs of a large territory. Each cardinal is attended by a group
| |
| − | of archbishops, who govern affairs on local city levels.
| |
| − | Chief: The leader of a war party.
| |
| − | Code of Milan: An oft-referenced but rarely seen document
| |
| − | developed as a code of conduct for Sabbat vampires. Some
| |
| − | Sabbat scoff at it, claiming that codifying the sect’s behavior
| |
| − | runs counter to everything the Sabbat stands for.
| |
| − | Column: A permanent pack of Black Hand members,
| |
| − | usually nomadic.
| |
| − | Communal Haven: A single haven shared by an entire pack.
| |
| − | Consistory: The body of advisors to the regent, composed of
| |
| − | key prisci and cardinals.
| |
| − | Convention of Thorns: The treaty that supposedly ended the
| |
| − | Anarch Revolt and resulted in the formation of the Sabbat.
| |
| − | Coven: A pack of Sabbat that makes a permanent haven in
| |
| − | a city; used to differentiate between “founded” packs and
| |
| − | nomadic packs. Most Sabbat cities host numerous covens, in
| |
| − | addition to providing “hospitality” to a seemingly endless
| |
| − | stream of nomadic packs.
| |
| − | Creation Rites: The special ritual marking a Sabbat vampire
| |
| − | as becoming a true member of the sect. The Creation
| |
| − | Rites differ from the Embrace in that anyone can be
| |
| − | Embraced, but until he receives the Creation Rites, the
| |
| − | recruit is not a member of the Sabbat (and thus, not
| |
| − | considered a vampire...).
| |
| − | Daughters and Sons (of Caine): All vampires. A similar
| |
| − | term with the same meaning is “brothers and sisters.”
| |
| − | Ductus: The leader of a Sabbat pack. This title is a highly
| |
| − | subjective one, sometimes held by the meanest thug in a
| |
| − | pack while acquired through genuine merit or ritual combat
| |
| − | at other times. The ductus decides the logistical affairs of her
| |
| − | pack, though the wise ductus gives careful ear to her
| |
| − | packmates’ voices.
| |
| − | Esbat: A weekly meeting held by a pack, whether nomadic or
| |
| − | founded. Central to the esbats are discussions of events that
| |
| − | affect the pack as well as the auctoritas and ignoblis ritae.
| |
| − | Festive dello Estinto: The “Festival of the Dead,” a grand
| |
| − | celebration held during the second week of April in Sabbat
| |
| − | cities. All covens attend the festival, as do any nomadic packs
| |
| − | that can make it.
| |
| − | Fire Dance: A ritual and rough celebration in which Sabbat
| |
| − | vampires prove their loyalty and bravery by jumping through
| |
| − | raging fires. Many Sabbat war efforts and other events begin
| |
| − | with fire dances.
| |
| − | Founded Pack: A coven; a pack of Sabbat vampires that
| |
| − | maintains a permanent haven in a city.
| |
| − | Great Jyhad: The war for supremacy in the New World,
| |
| − | begun in the 17th century and arguably raging during the
| |
| − | modern nights.
| |
| − | Chapter One: The Sword of Caine
| |
| − | 47
| |
| − | Hand: The Black Hand.
| |
| − | Headhunter: A Sabbat vampire who collects the skulls of his
| |
| − | fallen foes as trophies. Some headhunters collect only vampire
| |
| − | skulls, while others collect Lupine skulls, mortals’ skulls
| |
| − | or the skulls of witch-hunters. These trophies are considered
| |
| − | great honors in the Sabbat, according to the degree of
| |
| − | difficulty associated with claiming them.
| |
| − | Horseman: A nomadic Sabbat vampire, thought to have
| |
| − | been inspired by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
| |
| − | Hulul: The figurehead of the Assamite antitribu, who is
| |
| − | rumored to be ritually destroyed every 100 years.
| |
| − | Ignoblis Ritae: The rituals practiced by individual Sabbat
| |
| − | packs to reinforce unity, loyalty and the causes of the Sabbat.
| |
| − | These rituals vary from pack to pack, and they are considered
| |
| − | less important individually than the auctoritas ritae because
| |
| − | they are not as universally useful. Some Sabbat members
| |
| − | observe no ignoblis ritae at all.
| |
| − | Jyhad: The eternal conflict with other vampires. Sabbat vampires
| |
| − | use this term more loosely than other vampires, because
| |
| − | almost all struggle is a holy war from the Sabbat point of view.
| |
| − | In his mind, a Sabbat takes part in the Jyhad any time he fights.
| |
| − | Kindred: Non-Sabbat vampires. Most Sabbat use this term
| |
| − | derisively, considering Camarilla vampires to be their inferior
| |
| − | and laughing at their “big, happy family” of vampires who
| |
| − | cower from humankind. Many Sabbat also apply the term
| |
| − | “Kindred” sarcastically to vampires of independent clans,
| |
| − | whom they perceive as too selfish or foolish to take up the
| |
| − | cause against the Antediluvians.
| |
| − | Loyalist: A Sabbat vampire who refuses to acknowledge
| |
| − | leaders among the sect out of loyalty to its original goals.
| |
| − | Loyalists believe that to be truly loyal to the Sabbat, they
| |
| − | must have total freedom. Loyalists are commonly viewed as
| |
| − | agitators and dissidents, and they are watched warily by their
| |
| − | packmates and elders. Much of the Sabbat’s terrifying reputation
| |
| − | among other vampires may stem from the actions of
| |
| − | particularly fervent loyalists.
| |
| − | Monomacy: A ritual duel between vampires of the Sabbat,
| |
| − | held under formal rules. This duel is a traditional Sabbat
| |
| − | means of settling disputes, and it often results in the Final
| |
| − | Death of one of the participants.
| |
| − | Nomadic Pack: A pack that travels constantly in its duties to
| |
| − | the Sabbat. Nomadic packs maintain no permanent havens,
| |
| − | but they sometimes keep hidey-holes and emergency havens
| |
| − | throughout their regions of travel. Nomadic packs may also
| |
| − | stop in cities for indeterminate periods of time, but they
| |
| − | eventually return to the roads.
| |
| − | Nomads: Members of nomadic packs.
| |
| − | Pack: A group of Sabbat who have sworn the Vaulderie to one
| |
| − | another. A Sabbat may belong to only one pack at a time
| |
| − | – usually the one that enacted her Creation Rites – though
| |
| − | she may have ties of blood to other packs from her past.
| |
| − | The Guide to the Sabbat
| |
| − | 48
| |
| − | Paladin: A Sabbat vampire who serves another important
| |
| − | vampire as an assassin or bodyguard. Also known as templars,
| |
| − | paladins are greatly feared for their disciplined martial
| |
| − | prowess. Paladins are forbidden from membership in the B
| |
| − | lack Hand.
| |
| − | Palla Grande: A grand and terrible festival held on All
| |
| − | Hallows Eve, when all Sabbat vampires in a city gather to
| |
| − | celebrate and revere the sect. It often takes the appearance of
| |
| − | a masquerade ball, and humans are sometimes invited as
| |
| − | guests – or refreshments.
| |
| − | Path of Enlightenment: A belief system followed by the more
| |
| − | alien members of the Sabbat in place of Humanity. Paths of
| |
| − | Enlightenment are moral codes that serve to anchor the
| |
| − | Sabbat vampire against her ravening Beast, though some
| |
| − | paths encourage “riding” the Beast rather than controlling it.
| |
| − | The most common paths practiced by the Sabbat include the
| |
| − | Path of Caine, the Path of Cathari, the Path of Death and the
| |
| − | Soul, the Path of the feral Heart, the Path of Honorable
| |
| − | Accord, the Path of Lilith and the Path of Power and the
| |
| − | Inner Voice. Some Sabbat follow the Path of Evil Revelations,
| |
| − | though these vampires are hunted by the Sabbat
| |
| − | Inquisition as heretics and traitors to the sect.
| |
| − | Priest: The leader of Sabbat ritae in a given pack. The
| |
| − | spiritual leader of a pack, the priest is (theoretically) below
| |
| − | the ductus in “rank,” though this is not true of every pack.
| |
| − | Prior: An abbot (vide).
| |
| − | Priscus: A Sabbat vampire, often quite advanced in age
| |
| − | and/or generation, who advises the regent and cardinals.
| |
| − | Plural prisci.
| |
| − | Recruit: An vampire Embraced against her will, usually in
| |
| − | the interests of providing cannon fodder for the sect’s conquests.
| |
| − | Regent: The “leader” of the Sabbat, insofar as the sect
| |
| − | recognizes one. Only one regent exists at a time.
| |
| − | Sabbat: 1. The vampiric sect that opposes the Camarilla and
| |
| − | the machinations of the Antediluvians.
| |
| − | 2. A vampire belonging to the sect. Usage: Jasmine
| |
| − | is Sabbat, through and through, baby.
| |
| − | 3. A group of vampires belonging to the sect. Usage:
| |
| − | Yeah, those Sabbat over there have been giving us the once over, and I
| |
| − | think the shit’s about to go down.
| |
| − | True Sabbat: A Sabbat who has proven himself to the sect
| |
| − | and has received the Creation Rites.
| |
| − | Vaulderie: A mingling of the blood of all vampires in a pack,
| |
| − | which is then consecrated by the pack priest and consumed
| |
| − | by all members of the pack.
| |
| − | Vinculum: A “blood tie” that creates an artificial loyalty to
| |
| − | another member of one’s pack, like a minor blood bond.
| |
| − | Vinculum result from partaking in the Vaulderie.
| |
| − | Vulgar Argot
| |
| − | The Sabbat is a violent, hostile, youthful sect, and the
| |
| − | young ones’ language reflects as much. Hereafter are some of
| |
| − | Chapter One: The Sword of Caine
| |
| − | 49
| |
| − | the (more printable) terms Sabbat vampires casually drop.
| |
| − | Many of these terms take their roots from modern slang, with
| |
| − | added meaning to vampires, and some even transcend the
| |
| − | boundaries of sect, and may be used anywhere.
| |
| − | Bat: An elder vampire of the Sabbat, who often has little
| |
| − | in common with younger members of the sect.
| |
| − | Bitch: A probationary pack member, or a Sabbat of
| |
| − | lesser status than the speaker.
| |
| − | Chica: A female Sabbat vampire.
| |
| − | Costello: Dismissive term for the Camarilla. (This is suspected
| |
| − | to have arisen after some mispronunciation of “Sabbat.”)
| |
| − | Counting Coup: Taking the head of a fallen foe as a
| |
| − | trophy (see Headhunter). This practice is sometimes called
| |
| − | “scalping.”
| |
| − | Crowley: A derogatory or dismissive term for followers
| |
| − | of the Path of Evil Revelations, or vampires who make
| |
| − | ostentatious shows of evil for their own sake. These individuals
| |
| − | are also known as Ozzys or Mansons by some packs.
| |
| − | Did: Killed. Usage: Yeah, we did the cop, but only after we
| |
| − | caught him snooping around the bishop’s haven.
| |
| − | Dog: A Lupine. In certain circles, dog also means an
| |
| − | infectious carrier of blood-borne diseases (short for plague dog).
| |
| − | Go Down: A vampire who, usually out of habit, perversity
| |
| − | or derangement, commits sexual acts regardless of his or
| |
| − | her own vampiric impotence. Also known by a host of other
| |
| − | charming epithets including dick, handjob, hummer, etc.,
| |
| − | usually custom-tailored to the specifics of the vampire in
| |
| − | question’s behavior.
| |
| − | Headache: Accidentally killing while feeding. Usage:
| |
| − | Danny gave that skinny girl a headache.
| |
| − | Injun or Indian: A member of a nomadic pack.
| |
| − | Juice: Blood.
| |
| − | Keg: A “member” of a Blood Feast. In some packs, these
| |
| − | individuals are referred to as pints or longnecks.
| |
| − | Pimp: A vampire charged with gathering vices for packmates.
| |
| − | The pimp may procure drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, children or any
| |
| − | other indulgences for fellow vampires (or mortals...).
| |
| − | Pipes: An exceptional failure, or an object of derision.
| |
| − | Usage: That scouting run you guys did was the pipes.
| |
| − | Poet: A member of the goth subculture, especially one
| |
| − | who “dresses like a vampire.” Also known as Shelleys or Byrons.
| |
| − | Shovelhead: A Sabbat vampire created during a siege or
| |
| − | other event that necessitated the “quick and dirty” mass
| |
| − | Embrace. Also known as a Thwack or a Clang (after the
| |
| − | sound a shovel to the head makes, presumably), which is
| |
| − | sometimes used as a verb.
| |
| − | Tongue: Sabbat propaganda, or a Sabbat proselytizer,
| |
| − | often spread among the anarchs of Camarilla cities.
| |
| − | V: A vampire.
| |
| − | Vato: A male Sabbat vampire.
| |
| − | Witch: Irreverent term for a pack priest, best used out of
| |
| − | earshot of the individual in question.
| |
| − | Old Form
| |
| − | Despite its war on the elders, the Sabbat claims some
| |
| − | members who are quite advanced in age themselves. These
| |
| − | vampires recall the nights when the Sabbat was born, and
| |
| − | have carried over or adopted phrases as old as they are.
| |
| − | Beware the vampire who speaks in the tongue of the
| |
| − | Sabbat elders, for she is surely formidable and wicked
| |
| − | beyond belief.
| |
| − | Angellis Ater : The “black angels” of Clan Lasombra,
| |
| − | often young vampires who embrace the stereotypical and
| |
| − | shallow evils of the modern night in blatant attempts to
| |
| − | become monsters.
| |
| − | Kamut: A nomadic pack of Sabbat formed for a specific
| |
| − | purpose, such as hunting Lupines, scouting Camarilla cities
| |
| − | or exposing heretics.
| |
| − | Lacheur: A young Sabbat, particularly an insolent one.
| |
| − | May be used to refer to any young vampire in some cases.
| |
| − | Manus Nigrum: A mysterious subsect of the Sabbat, or
| |
| − | one entirely independent about which very little is known.
| |
| − | Younger vampires refer to this group, apparently erroneously,
| |
| − | as the Black Hand.
| |
| − | Revenants: Individuals who are born as ghouls. Revenants
| |
| − | are families of ghouls that have existed for so long with the blood
| |
| − | of their undead masters in their veins that it now passes on to
| |
| − | each of their descendants as well. The vampires of Clan
| |
| − | Tzimisce seem to use revenants most often, and they are often
| |
| − | held in suspicion by others who know of their natures.
| |
| − | Shakari: The eldest vampires among the Assamite antitribu.
| |
| − | Sword of Caine: The Sabbat.
| |
| − | Voivode: The leader of Clan Tzimisce. Some vampires
| |
| − | postulate that there is no single voivode, and the title is one of
| |
| − | inscrutable significance to only the Fiends themselves

| |
| − | 8 You will gladly offer resources or
| |

| |

| |

| |
| − | may kill for him.
| |
| − | 6 You feel strongly for the individual
| |
| − | and help him even if it inconveniences
| |
| − | you. You will gladly fight
| |
| − | for the individual.
| |
| − | 5 You respect the individual and help
| |
| − | him out as long as it’s no huge risk
| |
| − | or bother.
| |
| − | 4 You will aid the individual as long as
| |
| − | it doesn’t involve risk or anything
| |
| − | out of your way.
| |
| − | 3 You are loyal to the individual as

| |
| − | 2 You have a minor sense of kinship

| − | not going to go out of your way to
| |
| − | help him unless something’s in it

| |
| − | hostility, but you don’t care about
| |
| − | this person on a Vinculum level,
| |
| − | though you may on a personal level.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Note: It bears mention that, like the emotions engendered
| |
| − | by blood bonds, these feelings are artificial, as
| |
| − | they are created through ingestion of blood. It is quite
| |
| − | possible for a character to utterly hate someone for
| |
| − | whom she would risk her unlife, just as it is possible to
| |
| − | have immense love for someone who has little in the
| |
| − | way of Vinculum and everything in between. Players
| |
| − | are encouraged to explore the full range of these complexities
| |
| − | in their packs through roleplaying.
