Guide to the Sabbat is one of the core supplements for the Revised Edition of Vampire: The Masquerade, along with its companion volume, Guide to the Camarilla. It is the definitive guide to the Sabbat: its purposes, goals, history, secrets and organisation, as seen through the eyes of its members and enemies. It also covers the more advanced powers and specific skills of the clans that make up its members.
Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Shadows of the Elders War
- The Sabbat are depraved monsters, reveling in their Damned state and herding the kine about them like cattle. Or so it would seem to the uninitiated. In truth, the Sabbat wage a secret war on the elders, struggling night after night to free themselves from the tyranny of the dread Antediluvians and the Jyhad itself. But are their tactics effective or simply horrific?
- Cast by the Fires of the Packs
- The Guide to the Sabbat examines the Sabbat exhaustively from the antitribu, or "anti-clans" that populate its ranks to the terrifying Disciplines they use to their methods of waging war on the Camarilla and Antediluvians alike. This book also explores the progress the Sabbat have made in their war effort, chronicling their inexorable climb over the East Coast of the United States and their usurped territories in the Old World.
- The Guide to the Sabbat includes:
- An updated, definitive look at the sect and its role in the Final Nights;
- New bloodlines, Disciplines and layers of intrigue in the Jyhad
- The secrets and schemes of the most reviled sect of vampires ever to walk the night.
Introduction: Smart Money's on Vegas
Opening fiction featuring Adam and Ellum, a couple of young Sabbat members, as they cause havoc in California and eventually run into the Camarilla Seneschal of Las Vegas. (The Camarilla side of the tale is told in the opening fiction of Guide to the Camarilla.)
