The Shadowed Ones
From the shadows, they struck. The Acolytes of Colorado Springs, numbering 13, no longer wished to be the lashed to the whipping post by the ruling Kindred. The cultists had for a long time considered themselves healers, wise men and wise women, but these positions had earned them nothing but scorn and scraps. And so, they adapted their views and welcomed a new deity into their worship: Scathach, the Shadowy One.
They began to receive messages and whispers from the darkness, a susurrus breathing secrets about their true power. Scathach gave them the right to do as they wish. She told them that the world was full of spirits, alive with souls, and that it was their proper due to lord over these spirits. That destiny elevated them above all the other Kindred, who were blind in their Damnation. The Shadowed Ones burned animals and sacred objects in sacrifice to the old witch, commanding the spirits freed from their physical vessels to serve the Acolytesin the darkness.
One year ago, the Acolytes of this city swept through it like a fire. Their mastery of the spirits (revealed as strange, almost alien Crúac rituals) allowed the Acolytes to easily storm the halls of power. Those who bowed could take their places alongside the invisible spirits — as servants. Those who refused obeisance were cast into the darkness of Torpor — or given Final Death.
