  • In which the Gentleman Gamer provides you with the lowdown on that most persecuted yet powerful of clans; the Tremere.
    How is it that the Tremere have somehow withstood centuries of stigma and hatred from all other clans? How have these masters of the arcane potentially rotted from the inside and yet maintained absolute power on the outside?

    "After all, no clan has suffered as much persecution, from as many sources over history... as Clan Tremere. No clan has been trusted less... than Clan Tremere."

    The fundamental strength of clan Tremere, and I've always maintained this, is that unlike the ancient bloodlines predating them, they simply didn't have the burden of ego.

    "Antideluvian's name has been lost in time, he was of some long lost clan..." - Typical bloodwitch propaganda (Excellent presention of it). Tremere diablerized Saulot, who could be described as the closest thing that kindred had to a saint. After that vile deed, they started to purge of Salubri (of whom most didn't even retaliate), the only clan that could be described as "the good guys". Now, Salubri healers are nearly all gone (or in hiding) while once just and righteous warriors, "The Scourge of the Baali" are twisted shadows of themselves and serve in Sabbat (And the mystery of Mahtiel's whereabouts is still not solved). Yet, Tremere rest their laurels on the very top of Camarilla...Ah, the irony. (By the way, excellent videos man, I love watching them.If you have time in the future I hope you would do the video on "Furies" and Adonai, the Salubri of Sabbath)

      Shortly after Saulots diablerie, Tremere fell unconscious and would soon be rapped in a cocoon-like substance. Tremere would then spend hundreds of years fighting for his soul against an antideluvian only to lose the battle in modern nights. I love Tremere's fate. Obsessed with power, only to be literally consumed by it.

      Saulot and the Salubri have been effectively forgotten by vampire society at large in the modern nights. Either as just a lesser clan that never did anything and eventually went extinct, or as a clan that was obsessed with demon worship who eventually gave rise to the Baali.

    Love your videos, I rarely comment, but after halfway trough my...
    fourth or fifth play-trough?.. Of Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines,
    and in between, growing constantly more and more interested in the
    "World Of Darkness" universe, getting scraps of information here and
    there whenever I need to feed my curiosity with trivialities for entertainement or whenever I grow weary of the short unsatisfying taste of video games compared to tabletop games (with a sadly short lasting real life D20 experience in the past), I have to say, your research (some I can vouch for, most I know little to none of it) seems pretty thorough, interestingly put and satisfies some of this unsatisfaction I feel towards either the lack of people available to play where I am or the lack of developers in the video game industry looking into it. Aside from the Legacy Of Kain franchise, the Anne Rice novels and so on, the World Of Darkness is a great universe, story wise and ingame, tabletop or video game wise.

And if we Look At The Tale of Saulot and Tremere, Tremere Himself, This Weak, Poor Deluded Fool Did Diablerize Saulot, And Augustus Giovanni Did So Steal his Antediluvian Status From Cappadocius, So That Said, if Antediluvians could be Diablerized, What's so difficult to diablerize a 4th or 5th Generation Kindred?

      Also, lets not forget he might have further plans. Depending on wich story branch you take, he its even disguised as human.

It would be the kindred equivalent of playing Russian Roulette. To a 4th or 5th, who struggle to wake up two nights consecutively it’s like suicide by Childe. An open invitation to have one’s hearts blood consumed.

    @ArphenMaethor Very good point, although not every Tremere diablerised someone powerful. Many of the elders got that way through diablerie (bearing in mind that Tremere was around 9th or 10th gen when he first became a vampire) and some Tremere were embraced prior to the extinction of the Salubri, meaning there's a nice spectrum of generations.

    The Gentleman Gamer How exactly did the Tremere become vampires? I've read it was a ritual and I've read it was a potion, both engineered by Goritrix. And that which ever the case, it was actually a failure; because it was meant to maintain their "livingness" while stealing the immortality of the vampires.
    Could you clear all of this up for me?

      as "mortal" Magi the House Tremere discovered that their magic was starting to fail, and their magical immortality was in danger of fading. Research (Yes, lead by Goratrix) led to an alternative method of immortality - a ritual which ultimately failed in it's precise aim leaving the participants as Vampires with their True Magic lost.
      Now, the assaults upon the Tremere were lead by the Tzimisce in retribution for the Tremere's experiments upon both that clan, as well as the Gangrel and Nosferatu. At this point TGG has it correct except that the 3rd generation vampire whom Tremere diablerised was Saulot (founder of the Salubri) and it is believed he _allowed_ himself to be diablerised. In the final nights he eventually took over Tremere's body, and Tremere in turn usurped Goratrix's soul, sealed int into a mirror and destroyed the Sabbat Antitribu Tremere.
      I've played Tremere extensively since 1992 when V;tM first appeared even to the point of working directly with White Wolf as part of "The Camarilla" which was their Worldwide Fan Club. I stopped playing in 2003 after becoming disillusioned with the political scene within the UK branch but I had a tremendously powerful character by that time and felt that it was dreadfully unbalanced; I really couldn't in good conscience play him. That said, they're a wonderful (if distinctly overpowered) clan I have many fond memories of.

    @TornadoCreator I could do Requiem vids too, but the problem is their clans don't have established metaplots really. It's part of the openness of the Requiem setting that clans are whatever you make of them.

    Well i am a fan of ander and now you as well ^^ Great video, well done indeed...nice insights. I want to share something though - Tremere are likely to be the lowest gen vampires maybe except the giovanni. Clan first + they embrace from a cauldron of blood so its likely filled with the strongest avalaiable blood the clan has which may be lets say 5th gen blood therefore neonates could be 6th gen vampires. Afer all gen = power and clan is first so are neonates...

    Hello as a Lore master of VtM I would like to ask could it be possible for a tremere to use transmutation and blood magic to create blood armor on parts of his body(not to be confused with blood shield) like a solid armor of blood, blood gauntlets with claws etc. ... and could there exist a part of the clan that would be focused on more direct confrontation in battles in the front lines like battlemages?

    • @graceliu8839
      @graceliu8839 8 лет назад

      If the storyteller says yes, then yes.
      Though with the Tremere, they have a faction that consist of those Tremere who ended up with Vicissitude as in-clan discipline. So there's absolutely no need to create blood claws when they can just use flesh claws, bone armor just like the Tzimisce.

    True, I suppose there is less backstory and background in Requiem. I personally would like to hear you opinion on the themes present in each clan and how you interpret them, especially as a lot of the Masquerade clans got re-writen as bloodlines in Requiem. I'd very much enjoy hearing your opinion on these re-envisionings of the old clans. (I for example have played both a Brujah and a Lasombra in Requiem).

    I thank you for this detailed summary! I role-play a Bone Shadow Werewolf, and have been perplexed by my Spirit Totem Kamduis (the Death Wolf) who is always on about the Tremere that I have been oddly paired with in our motley crew of WOD persona's. Now I know why! Of all the Mage sects, I (OutOfCharacter) relate to the Order of Hermes the least, and the fellow who plays the Tremere fits into that prideful, self important, character quite well -something he often pays a high price for!

    Odd that their nomenclature is "warlocks" which I never liked the name of, since it means "oath-breaker"... This is puzzling to me, since most of their unified power comes FROM the "blood OATH". rofl... Kinda like one of those "thought puzzles" isn't it? these magi having the title "Oath breakers", while gaining power through the oaths they have.

    I find these videos very interesting but for me there's a disconnect. While you explain them well, I'm a Requiem player not a Masquerade player so these videos just don't hold enough impact for me. Any chance you'll do a similar series for the clans etc. in Requiem?

  • @Walker27067
    @Walker27067 11 лет назад

    Wait ... now I'm remembering some metaplot where Salout ended up in either Tremere or Goratrix's body and destroyed all of the Antitribu before casting either Goratrix or Tremere into a mirror forever or something like that? I feel like I'm getting this wrong.

    What I still don't quite get is the talk about generations. Is the ..say, 3rd generation stronger than the 11th because the blood is thicker, or simply because they are older. Do they gain powers through age, or does every generation have a ''fixed amount'' of power?

      13th gen is half as strong as 12th gen. The power is exponential so say a methuselah of 4th gen is 2^8 stronger = 64 times stronger

    What I find suspicious about the tremere is how the clan (or at least the main body of the clan) never made any advances towards to Sabbat. They are THE clan of usurpers after all, surely they'd fit right in there with the other diablerists and occultists.

    • @TheGentlemanGamer

      Sabbat and Tremere have two opposite mentalities. Where the Tremere value their antidilluvian and value the dominance of elders on childer, the Sabbat fights against antidilluvians and elders. The first name of the Sabbat was the Anarch Revolt.

      There were rumours that Tremere tasked Goratrix to infiltrate the nascent Sabbat, or it could be that Goratrix resented the former's reliance on other members of the council of seven and decided to defect for that reason. Before their destruction (ironically, by Tremere himself who stole Goratrix's body as his own was taken over by Saulot) the Tremere Antitribu were widely mistrusted (and feared) by the other "traditional" Sabbat clans such as the Lasombra and Tzimsce......if you can read Mexico City by Night I believe that has some more history in.
