STEREOTYPES
Daeva: Our only serious rivals. Watch them as you would a deadly viper.
Gangrel: Stray dogs with sharp teeth. Train them when you can.
Mekhet: Acknowledge their wisdom, but be sure they know they have their place.
Nosferatu: What was it Machiavelli said about love and fear?
———————————————————————————————————————
Lupines: You can no more rule their kingdoms than you can rule a wildfi re. Treat them
with care — or avoid them if you want to see another night.
Mages: Do not try to understand their powers. You cannot. Do not use your powers

A Mithraic Ventrue, for instance, does not differ greatly from other Lords. Other prestigious
lineages include the Licinii, the Beni Murrahim and the Rötgrafen. The comparatively new
Malkovian lineage suffers even more debilitating madness than the parent clan.
