Doc's Sabbat Page intro
What is the Sabbat??
The Sabbat is an organization composed solely of vampires, it is similar to the Camarilla in many respects, but has a number of special distinctions. The sabbat is smaller than the Camarilla. Its doctrines are overwhelmingly more political and militaristic, and it is actively involved in constant warfare against the Camarilla.
All members of the Sabbat are free from Blood Bonds to a particular vampire master, though their ties to each other can be just as strong. In addition, the sect is steeped in tradition, millenarian doctrine and mysticism. It is completely secretive, so most of what is known about the Sabbat outside the sect is speculation.
The Sabbat has very firm beliefs concerning all outsiders. Its members are known for their distinct separation of everyone into "them or us." To the Sabbat, all non-Sabbat are "them," regardless of whether "they" are vampires, Lupines, mortals or whatever. The sabbat does have a few allies, but the sect cooperates only to a limited degree, and only when it is to the Sabbat's advantage
The Antediluvians
The Antediluvians are very real. They exist in the outermost regions of the earth, where they are safe. They will awaken very soon and they will be thirsty. They are already planning their return by ensuring that their prey is disorganized and ignorant of the upcoming danger. What is truly unbelievable is how most other vampires outside the Sabbat do not even believe in the Antediluvians. They firmly embrace their progenitors' own Masquerade. The Sabbat must spread the word of the impending Gehenna.
The Camarilla
The Camarilla is the pawn of the Antediluvians. This sect keeps the younger vampires weak and unprepared for Gehenna. The Camarilla does nothing to protect its members. It enforces the Masquerade, which all Sabbat members know is simply a tool used to keep Camarilla Kindered weak. Vampires are forced like little children to play a silly game of hide and seek, but the Antediluvians know all too well where to find their prey when the time comes. The Camarilla leaders receive their orders from the warlords of the Jyhad and relay information back to them. It is the driving goal of the Sabbat to destroy the Camarilla. If the Sabbat does not succeed in this mission, young and old alike will fall prey to the Ancients. The Sabbat will use any means at its disposal to wreak havoc on the enemy.
Mortals
Mortals are no danger to the Sabbat. They are lambs to be exploited as the Sabbat sees fit. Mortal authorities have never posed a threat. Most of them refuse to accept the supernatural as a possibility. They have proven in the past to be easy to manipulate and destroy.
