VtM - WhiteWolf: Genealogy -- Ravnos
[M]
Dracian (:~ -8000+ ) He created the Tree of Knowledge. Was probably in
Golconda. Killed by Amriat (cf. Gypsy). He might be the sire of the Ravnos and the
Gangrel Antediluvians.
Dracian is also the name of the Ravnos Antediluvian, who was killed centuries later... (cf.
CbR-R)
An ancient lorekeeper wrote "The Ravnos are controlled by Sargatanas who also controls
the Gangrel. But Sargantas has a servent, Valefar, who oversees the Gangrel for his
master". Sargatanas could be a name of Dracian and Valefar of Ennoia... [Gypsy] [CbR-R]
Zapathasura/Dracian/Churka (:~ -8000+june 1999) Sire of Black Mother , Rakshasa ,
Chandraputo , Ravana , Ramessu and Hazimel. the Ravnos of India know him under
Zapathasura, and also Dracian (cf. CbR-R). Called Churka by the Gangrel (cf. LS3).
Destroyed in Bangladesh by the Kuei-jin (three Bodhisatvas, that died in the fight) and the
Technocracy (Project Ragnarok, dropping special neutron bombs designed to destroy
Supernaturals). The prophecy of his death refers to the childe of the Wanderer, third Childe
of Caine, whose descendants destroyed themselves in madness.
The Ravnos Ante is said to have sired 5 times in the first century or two of his unlife. The
speaker said that there may be more, but that they doubted it because all of the lineages
that they were able to recover traced their roots back to those five. [ToTB] [LS3] [CbR-M]

Black Mother/Marizhavashti Kali (:~ -8000) Progeny of Zapathasura. Sire of
Phaedyme (-323) and Sybarites' founder. Diablerised by the Sybarites' founder. She was
often mistaken for Kali, the Hindu goddess of death destruction and the end of the world.
She was a renowned Prophetess and was famous for her ability to percieve all layers of
reality. She later abandoned Zapathasura and his war so he in turn had her name stricken
from all recordings. The Brahman, Phuri Dae, Phaedymite, Sybarite, and Yoyari jatis are
all decended from her.
After Black Mother abandoned Zapathasura, she took the name Marizhavashti Kali "The
Ghost" and waited for the arrival of Alexander the Great in India. Upon Alexander's arrival
with his armies, Marizhavashti (a.k.a. Black Mother) embraced one of his soilders and told
the childe to "Go West", in which the soilder did and Marizhavashti followed him to
Europe and eventually settled in Gaul.
It turned out that the soilder was actually not a man at all, it was a woman masquerading as
a soilder. The woman's name was Phaedyme (later the founder of the Phaedymites) and
she eventually (after creating her line and all) settled in Gaul with her sire and began
looking out for her.
Marizhavashti developed her power base in Gaul and after the Romans conquered Gaul
needed a way to ensure the continued existance of her control over the mortal affairs in her
city. She embraced a man (who has been said to be everyone from Julius Ceaser - which
according to CB Ventrue revised was NEVER a vampire - to Romulus himself) who was a
high member of Caligula's rome and may have been a confidant of the Emperor.
This man created Progeny and the line became the Sybarites (this took a few decades). It
was then that Chandraputo deliberately let his teachings filter into Gaul through the
