TZIMISCE AREA

Nested behind the Catholic Church is the old Church Parish. This is Clan Tzimisce's haven. An appropriate choice for them since they are exceedingly private beings, placing a great value on the sanctity of their haven. In fact, the clan has an entire series of elaborate protocols based around hospitality. Guests invited into a Fiend's haven are protected with the host's unlife; trespassers are pursued to the ends of the Earth and punished in gruesome and lingering fashion. Surprisingly, their haven is not very comfortable or well-kept. They care little about modern luxuries or conveniences such as running water or electricity. Chances are, the only furniture you may find inside this ancient rock home are in the foyer for their invited guests. If you mistakingly find yourself inside of the Tzimisce haven, beware of the furniture you sit upon, for it may well be made from someone you once knew.

Clan Tzimisce, formerly the tyrants of Eastern Europe, the Tzimisce (zhi*mee*see) have been uprooted from their Old Country manses and relocated into the clutches of the Sabbat. Possessed of a peculiar nobility, coupled with an evil that transcends mortal perception, Clan Tzimisce leads the Sabbat in its rejection of all things human. Certain Kindred apocrypha claims that the Tzimisce was once the most powerful clan in the world, but that history and other Kindred conspired to bring its members down to their current state. More so than any other vampires, the Tzimisce revel in their monstrousness. They practice a "fleshcrafting" Discipline that they use to disfigure their foes and sculpt themselves into beings of terrible beauty.
