In the times of struggle, the Sabbat had managed to keep control of some major cities in the United States even through the internal war. It also served to establish Mexico City as the informal capital of the Sabbat. The new Code of Milan was approved by the new Regent Melinda Galbraith, as well as several Seraphim of the Black Hand. An unheard-of congregation of Sabbat committed to document the Code of Milan in 1933, a collection of tenets that composed Sabbat ideology supposedly since the establishment of the sect. ![]() Not content to merely sign a goodwill agreement as they had before, Sabbat vampires took a long, hard look at what was important to the Sword of Caine. Convening in New York, which the sect had managed to hold against all the best efforts of the Camarilla, high-ranking Sabbat reconsidered their commitment to the sect's causes. ![]() Cool heads never prevail in times of war however, and another wave of infighting broke out, which culminated in the Second Sabbat Civil War, a conflict grounded in simmering animosities that still rumbled on beneath the Purchase Pact. The war weakened the sect enough that the Camarilla was able to seize much territory from them, before, after 30 years of conflict, the Purchase Pact officially forbade it to attack other Sabbat members in 1803. Due to a lack of organization within the American packs, internal struggle between the Lasombra and Tzimisce resulted in the events of the First Sabbat Civil War. The relative prominence of the Sabbat in the Americas faced opposition, though, as disenfranchised Camarilla vampires also journeyed across the oceans, hoping to carve out legacies for themselves away from the ironbound holdings of European princes. Amid a revolutionary and radical mortal backdrop, the Sabbat's presence was easy to hide among the insurrectionists, fighting against the Cainite masters of the Aztecs, the dreaded monster Huitzilopochtli and his peers, as well as against the native Lupines. For a while, the sect flourished in the evolving colonies. Despite open protests against it as a tool of the Antediluvians, the Sabbat Elders realized the worth of secrecy in the modern night and the real danger of falling into Wassail in the face of the demands of the Beast, so they sought to accommodate to these circumstances without pretending to be human.īesides Spain, which was controlled by a majority of Lasombra, and territories in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, which were claimed by the Tzimisce, most packs traveled across the sea to the New World. Within the Black Monastery in Switzerland, the sect formalized the modern Paths of Enlightenment in 1666 out of the old Roads that had become obsolete. As the Camarilla consolidated their hold on the major European cities, the Sabbat were thrust into the defensive. The Inquisition continued to claim victims while all of Europe's Cainites drew lines in the sand to mark their allegiance. Slowly, these disparate packs were brought to heel by the spreading of the Vaulderie, uniting the remnants of the Anarch Revolt as the Sabbat, a sect devoted to warfare against the Antediluvians and the tyranny of their catspaws.īitter war raged between the vampires of the newly formed Sabbat and the not-much-older Camarilla. These groups existed as small packs in the wilderness that harassed the holdings of the Elders and those who had submitted to the Camarilla, called "Sabbats" by the superstitious mortal population for their rapacious behavior and proud display of their inhumanity. Others joined to escape the practice of the Blood Bond, among them venerable Elders like the Malkavian Vasantasena, the Tremere Goratrix, and the Ventrue Dominique Touraine. The Tzimisce would not cede their lands to the hated Tremere and submit the philosophy of Metamorphosism for the limited ideals of Humanity, while the Lasombra had invested too much in the Revolt to surrender their success to decrepit elders of other Clans (in the words of the Clan representative at the Convention of Thorns: "I came to negotiate, not to surrender." ) Delegations of both Clans met at the island of Majorca and began their own negotiations, aided by several malcontents among the Anarchs, who refused to surrender to the Elders or did not share the view of their main Clan. Leaders of the endeavour were the Tzimisce and the Lasombra, two Clans that had ostensibly destroyed their Antediluvian founders and had accepted that there was no turning back for them. ![]() They are the remnants of the Anarch Revolt of the time. ![]() The Sabbat was founded in 1493 CE, largely in reaction to the Convention of Thorns which founded the Camarilla.
