Daimoinon

Description

These are the mysteries of the Baali, black arts torn whole and beating from the sorcerer-kings of ancient cultures and prehistoric civilizations, incoherent memories passed from tome to tongue, hearkening to times of insensate oblivion. They are sibilant secrets in which all begins to end and begin again... and with every new night and novice brought into the circle, the telling grows shorter.

Its foul powers are devoted to tapping the dark forces of existence and corrupting the souls of others. Whatever vile master the Cainite worships, Daimonion is a homage to evil and none can use it untainted. It is for this reason that all Cainites stand united in their hatred of the Baali, whose lust for power threatens to undermine vampire society.
