Lamia
Search
The Lamia, once called Gorgons, protected the Cappadocians and their sacred libraries centuries ago. During the Giovanni revolt, most Lamia died fighting to protect their masters; they failed this task. Male Lamia exist, but they are even rarer, as the clan is not prone to Embracing males. The Lamia were never very numerous, and tend to Embrace female childer. These childer were chosen for their interest in the dark arts and educated as warriors after their Embrace. The Lamia did not study death as the Cappadocians did, but focused on disease and its effects on both mortals and vampires.

Lamia carry the Seed of Lilith, a wasting disease spread by their bite. Any mortal who is fed upon by a Lamia becomes sick and may die. The victim must make a test (Physical attribute + Survival skill versus a difficulty rating of 8). Those who fail die within one week. Those who succeed will recover in a few days. Many Lamia choose to feed from animals as often as possible, and those who don't generally feed from the hardiest of mortals.
