| | | |
− | Godslayers interpret quotes from the Bible (especially Exodus
| |
− | 15:11, “Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods”)
| |
− | to mean that other gods do exist, but that God Himself is
| |
− | preeminent among them. As the faithful soldiers of the King
| |
− | of Heaven, Godslayers consider it their job to weaken other
| |
− | gods by destroying their followers. Thus, members of this faction
| |
− | hunt down and kill not only Kindred of other covenants
| |
− | and non-Sanctified religious denominations (such as vampires
| |
− | who continue to practice mortal Christianity), but prominent
| |
− | mortal heathens, as well. In the long, grim history of the covenant,
| |
− | Godslayer factions have even sought out werewolf
| |
− | priests and spiritual mages for elimination.
| |
− |
| |
− | The story of the Godslayers comes in short, violent spurts.
| |
− | As word of their fanatical campaigns fades more slowly than
| |
− | the reports of their defeat, one or two surviving Godslayers
| |
− | build another faction of followers around themselves and then
| |
− | strike against at any heathens they please.
| |
− |
| |
− | This faction is outlawed for two reasons: The first is that
| |
− | the actions of the group threaten the relations with other covenants
| |
− | and even the Masquerade. The second, and more sublime
| |
− | reason is that it is heretical to the Sanctified’s Judeo-
| |
− | Christian roots to claim there is more than one god. In past
| |
− | nights, Godslayers have been brought down not by their heathen
| |
− | foes, but by Sanctified Inquisitors.
| |
− |
| |
− | For the fifth time in two centuries, the Godslayers are
| |
− | thought to have been wiped out. Unfortunately, it’s not entirely
| |
− | out of the question that a small or withdrawn domain is
| |
− | suffering somewhere under the bloody authority of a cloister
| |
− | of Godslayers.
