The Mythology and General History of Cainites

                           by Nicholas Savich
Purpose
     This paper was created to aid my brethren in teaching seventh rank apprentices their origins.  To properly accomplish this task, the author has consulted with others in the Noddist field, in the hopes that he would be able to form a comprehensive report that would shed light on the origins of the Cainite race as a whole.  The author has attempted, at all points, to keep this work clear of theoretic so common in many Cainite records..

Procedure
     This work is broken up into several different parts.  The first will detail how the Cainites actually came into being, and will therefore be somewhat abstract.  Following this, there will be a brief description of the various clan founders, and their apparent fall from grace.  Once apprentices grasp the full meaning of these, they are to move onto the history of the Cainite race as a whole, and will be expected to fill in some minor holes on their own, as is befitting an intelligent, worthy member of clan Tremere.  This portion of the report will be broken up several times, according to different time periods.  The master shall then reveal to the young neonate the earth-shattering events that have occurred during this last century.  At the conclusion of this, there will be a short section that will reveal some of the signs to be wary of in the future.  This last section is not to be read, or taught to an apprentice of the fourth rank or lower.
