CURRENT Dark Ages: Vampire is
the "Revised" edition
of Vampire: The Dark
Ages, the initial
rulebook for the Dark
Ages line of White Wolf
games.
Overview
The scenario Dark Ages: Vampire rulebook
presented by this
edition takes place in 1230 CE, approximately thirty
years after Vampire: The Dark Ages. The Long Night
has ended, and now the War of Princes rages across
Europe. The vampires who fought the War of Princes
are riven across complex boundaries of clan and
Road, with additional caste boundaries caused by the
divisions between High and Low clans.
Dark Ages: Vampire introduces many of the
philosophical ideas outlined in revised edition of
Vampire: The Masquerade, into the Dark Ages setting.
Characters are now less tied to clan (although the
boundary between the noble high clans and the poor
and outsider low clans does reverberate through the
system) and the Roads have been expanded from
paths into full religions.
This edition di�ers considerably from its predecessor
(Vampire: The Dark Ages), not only in terms of the
massive social changes outlined in the book, but also
by introducing a sequence of rulebooks in the same
fatsplat manner used by Exalted and eventually
re�ned with the revised Storyteller System.
Clans
The clans in Dark Ages: Vampire are slightly di�erent
to those presented in Vampire: The Masquerade. The
original thirteen clans still exist, and division of
loyalties is very di�erent, as the Camarilla and Sabbat
are still over two centuries away. The clans are
divided by ideology into a semi-caste structure, being
High and Low Clans. While there is no game mechanic
for dividing the two groups, one can expect others to
behave a certain way towards you based upon
whether you come from a High or Low Clan.
The High Clans are:
• Brujah
• Cappadocian

• Toreador

The Low Clans are comprised of members of the
following clans:
Fan • Assamites (Warriors, Sorcerers, and Viziers)
Central
• Followers of Set
• Gangrel
CURRENT
• Malkavian
• Nosferatu
• Ravnos
• Tremere
It is worth noting that in the year 1230 members of
clan Tremere are still thought of as usurpers; ones
who have drained the heart's blood of the Salubri
(who are considered to be "noble" vampires, despite
the claims of demon worship). Thus the Tremere are
frowned upon by other clans, their campaign of
misinformation against the Salubri not yet having
borne fruit.
Details of the other Dark Ages clans and bloodlines
(Salubri, Baali, Laibon, Lamia, Lhiannan, and
Gargoyles) are found in supplemental books for
players and Storytellers. Some of these, particularly
the Baali, are treated solely as antagonists, not for
use as player characters.
