I speculate that our Clan Bane is more deeply attached to our mastery of the realm of shadow and death than many have guessed. I believe we resonate, even vibrate on a different frequency and as our blood grows in potency we move closer to the abyss in a more literal sense, finding that cold dark void to be our true home.
You know, honestly, the first thing I thought of in terms of clan Lasombra when I got interested in WOD after playing VTMB was Alucard and (post-Battle Of London) Seras Victoria from Hellsing, with all of that Lovecraftian shadow manipulation stuff...definitely a nightmare fuel vamp clan, to say the least.

Christians don’t even know what they worship.

For those curious on the lasombras eldritch power,think of the lasombra as the darkness to the salubris light. Now i dont mean metaphoricly,in that instance youd want a setite or tzimice. Literaly,the lasombra play with a force perhaps as ancient if not older then caine himself,with obtenebration being one of the few diciplines that were created through powers not of the blood. Other examples would be the origins of the tremeres hermetic blood sorcery and rituals or more famously,the salubri dicipline obeah/valeren or the baalis daimonion. Sure any catiff can learn obtenebration,but when used by a lasombra,it is a power rightfully feared. For it was the darkness caine was banished by uriel, and that abyss of darkness beyond the mortal plane is what the lasombra bring to bear when they fight. For whenever you walk, even your very shadow could be a weapon the lasombra would use. Remember that the kiasyd are one of the few things that disturb even clan tzimice. And there is a reason for that. While the tzimice play at casting off there humanity,every lasombra is on the knives edge,with many being consumed by the darkness of the void they call. And those who still live to see another night are the most dangerous of lasombra. For in the darkness,is the clan of shadows. The banu haqim and nosferatu may hide in the shadow. But the lasombra was born in such darkness and molded by it. Many clans have there claim of power,but the lasombra? They are quite literally the most powerful,for the darkness they wield,is as horrible as it is comforting to the lasombra. And when gehenna rises,the clan of darkness will either stay such...or be burned by the light.
That wasn't on purpose? I had always just assumed because the character was a Nosferatu, and we're coming to you for instruction you where just playing the organ really loud when we walk in and play it quietly while teaching.
Theres a running joke in my group that my Lasombra uses an old Nokia brick cus her clan bane makes it so she cant use touchscreens on modern phones lol

I sadly have never played VTM but I hope I can someday. However though as much as I love the idea playing a Lasombra in the Camarilla, but I have no idea how to about roleplaying a Lasombra. Let alone a Lasombra in the Ivory Tower.
I'm started out as a Lasombra and my plan would involve stroking the oldest Ventrue's ego. Helping them maintain the masquerade and establishing their power base. Of course, I ask that I have a say in any matters involving the city and allowed to economically strengthen my hold over the city. Once I have built a strong base and a wealth of resources, I use my tools to bribe and intimidate my rivals so that I can rule from the shadows.
Ah yes, The Polish Elder. That was a reference to the VtM RUclipsr Outstar who spent 2-3 episodes of her Lets Play of Vampire - The Masquerade: Redemption where she kept calling the Tremeres, Trememes, which had a strange knock in affect where I noticed some people believing that was their canon names 😂

It feels weird that in vtm 5e both the giovani and the lasombra both have oblivion and are meant to be different things

theres a reason clan lasombra and tremere are considered the most powerful, and that reason is oblivion and thaumaturgy.

Don't think about it too much. Just enjoy the riiiiiide
"Death cult" ...as someone that grew up in that religeon, that is a blisteringly accurate description even outside of the VTM lore/universe.
