Tzimisce

Antediluvian - Tzimisce

The fiends of Transylvania, the Tzimisce revel in their inhumanity and rule over a frightened population as the dreaded voivodes. Inhuman and driven to fanaticism, Tzimisce dismiss ways other then their own as fundamentally flawed.

They do not practice the Silence of the Blood tradition in their native lands; they instead revel in the terror of villages in their sway, and the blood tributes given to them.

They are tied to their ancestral home, and they suffer unless they keep a couple of handfuls of their home soil with them always. Their skill at shaping flesh and bone is masterful, and working with the human body has given them incredible insight. They truly know their herd inside and out.

The Tzimisce seek perfection physically and spiritually. Their interpretations of these concepts are often alien or incomprehensible sometimes even to other vampires. They often "fleshcraft" themselves into forms they believe to be beautiful and/or terrifying.

The most common road for a Tzimisce is called the "Road of Metamorphosis", where they craft themselves into increasingly "perfect" beings. Tzimisce with this path aspire to become so powerful that the whole world becomes part of themselves. Azhi Dahaka, when the world becomes a part of yourself, a sort of inverted Nirvana.
