When our ancestors settled here, millenia ago, this land was a jungle, and it housed unimaginable horrors. They were wise and they were mighty and they chained those horrors deep below the ground.

Look upon it when you are in the dark places closest to evil and you will know that you are not lost.

Throughout the ruleset, change the term “Broker” to “Vampire Lord” and the term “Collector” to “Richardo von Nestor”. Change the Dynastic Tracking page to [[Dracula’s Layer]] and set the rule The Traitor to inactive.
