• The Void

Vampire the Requiem - Ancient Bloodlines

Usiri are able to take a specific memory from another Kindred and collect it for themselves. The memory is instantly stored in “the void,” a part of the Usiri’s own subconscious mind that she has compartmentalized and kept separate from her conscious. It takes a great deal of control and willpower to keep the walls of the void in place, but as long as the Usiri remains active that control is maintained.
If, however, the Usiri falls into Torpor, all control over the void is lost. If she hasn’t yet returned the stored memories to their rightful owners, they become as susceptible to the Fog of Eternity as any Kindred’s.
