Common Form

  • Baron: An anarch "prince"; a Kindred who claims a domain but is a member of the Anarch Movement.
  • Barony: The domain of an anarch "prince". Also, an autonomous community of anarchs.
  • Gang: A coterie of anarchs modeled after mortal inner-city crime groups.
  • Gear: Supplies or armaments hidden in a cache.
  • Idealist: An anarch whose struggle is rooted more in intellectualism or theory rather than real-world experience. Sometimes used with derision, to imply that one has his head in the clouds and that his personal utopia would never work.
  • Pack: A coterie of anarchs. Origin is uncertain, and the term may have come into use during the nights of the Anarch Revolt or shortly afterward to spite the Sabbat.
  • Piper: Also, pied piper. An anarch who uses mortals or ghouls excessively to fight battles for the anarch cause.
  • War of Ages: The class of Kindred over issues such as age, sect policy (which favors elders in anarch opinion) and generation. Also the Jyhad.
  • Ivory Tower: The Camarilla.
  • Emissary: An anarch whose job is to negotiate with the leaders of other sects.
  • Sweeper: An anarch whose job is to keep track of the Kindred within a barony.

Vulgar Argot

  • Blood Boy/Babe: A vessel.
  • Cape: An obvious vampire. Also, an elder.
  • Donor: A vessel.
  • Five: A member of another sect who carries on of those sect's titles. Presumably originates for the "5-0" mortal slang for a police officer.
  • Highway Haven: A portable haven, such as a trailer or even a secure sleeping bag.

Old Form

  • Antitribu: While the Sabbat's use of this word is more vernacular, a few aged anarchs still use this term to refer to any Kindred who turns his back on the main body of his clan. The anarchs were the original antitribu, these elder revolutionaries claim, and the Sabbat merely stole the name as they struck out on their own.
  • Return, the: The apology of the anarchs at the Convention of Thorns, where they disgracefully returned to their elders' sides and agreed to support the Camarilla.
  • Sabbat: In certain contexts, particular among very old anarchs, a sabbat is a pack or coterie, rather than the sect that adapted the name for its own use.
