| − | Kindred History is full of bargains with the Strix that later backfired on the Kindred who desired to outwit her Nemesis. The Strix came first to the eye of Kindred society in ancient Rome, where they were rumored to have given [[Remus]] the curse of undeath, spawning the line of the Julii. The Julii, however, were eventually destroyed for trespasses that are lost to the [[Fog of Eternity]], some say with the aid of other Clans. In [[ 1303 (WOD)|1303]], Strix gathered in Alexandria after an earthquake that damaged the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria, and in [[1547 (WOD)|1547]], the [[Prince]] of Moscow was diablerized by his yellow-eyed childer, who later perished in a great fire. The greatest known conflict between vampires and Striges, however, was from 1738-1746 in Transylvania, during an outbreak the Bubonic Plague. Most known weaknesses of the Striges were codified during this conflict. | + | Kindred History is full of bargains with the Strix that later backfired on the Kindred who desired to outwit her Nemesis.
