Iberia by Night is a supplement for Vampire: The Dark Ages that details the roles of the kindred in the Moorish lands of Spain and Portugal.
[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- A Land Divided
- This is a land of warring faiths and burning wills. Once the Moors ruled almost all, but now the Christian kingdoms push them ever further south. Great universities die and glorious kingdoms rise. And behind it all, in the deepest of shadows, we Cainites lurk. Blood calls to blood and vengeance will be ours.
- A Clash of Wills
- Iberia by Night is a complete sourcebook for medieval Spain, including both Christian and Moorish kingdoms. The history, cities and people are all covered in detail, as is the course of the bloody Reconquista that reshapes the land. Details on the vampiric princes and sultans of the land, the shadowy Amici Noctis manipulating Clan Lasombra, and on the other forces of the Iberian night give you enough for many stories indeed.

[edit] Chapter Four: Powers That Be
Clan Lasombra dominates the Iberian peninsula, but other Cainites also call Spain, Portugal, and Andorra home. Included here is information on the Shadow Reconquista, the Islamic Cainites (mostly Assamite), and the Apostles of the Third Caine, an offshoot of the Cainite Heresy. Many mortals also hunt these Cainites in the day, including the Knights of Santiago and the Sword of St. James.
