[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- A Cult of Killers...
- The clans of Caine have only recently seen the true face of Clan Assamite. Once assumed to be mere assassins, the Assamites have thrown off the Camarilla's debilitating curse and their mantle of silence. A diverse clan of noble warriors, learned sorcerers and murderous diablerists, the Assamites have stepped forth to claim their legacy in the Final Nights.
- Clanbook: Assamite Includes:
- The classes and castes of the enigmatic Assassins, exploring all levels of their clan structure
- A look at the wide-reaching influence of the Assamites, from the borders of the Middle Kingdom to the shifting tides of New World politics
- New Assamite Sorcery, high-level Discipline powers and the fruition of the Assamite's plans in the modern nights
[edit] Introduction: From the Treaty of Tyre
An brief excerpt from the Treaty of Tyre, signed by the Assamites and the Camarilla in 1496.
[edit] Chapter One: How Quickly We Forgot
The history of the clan, including excerpts from the "Chronicle of the Heartsblood" chapter of the Book of the Final Nights, and the Parables of Blood.
[edit] Chapter Two: Prayers to Broken Stone
The structure and organisation of the clan, including the three Castes (Warrior, Sorcerer and Vizier), as well as the Disciplines and blood magic employed by Assamites, including high-level Quietus powers.
[edit] Chapter Three: Sons and Daughters of Haqim
Character templates and notable Assamites.
[edit] Background Information
This book, along with the original Clanbook: Assamite and Blood Magic: Secrets of Thaumaturgy, dates the Treaty of Tyre to 1496. Other sources either date it to 1493, the same year as the Convention of Thorns, or combine it with the Convention itself, either of which is incompatible with the version of events here.
