[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Break the Walls Down
- Kindred society is stagnant, and it favors the privileged. Elders claim domain over rights that, by their nature, belong to all of Caine's childer. Princes and archbishops alike abuse the very social contract that gives them the power they wield. What's the answer? Open revolution. Bring down the system!
- Guide to the Anarchs Includes:
- A look at the phenomenon of the Anarch Movement worldwide
- Advice for introducing the anarchs to an existing chronicle or creating an all-anarch chronicle
- A handy appendix on nomadic unlife
