Cults of the Blood Gods (Spanish)

Why have faith when you've already experienced death?

If you've accepted that you and all like you are cursed by God, why cling to His word?

When you return from the afterlife as a blood-drinking monster, what purpose does faith serve?

Kindred create and are drawn to various faiths for a thousand reasons: to exert power over the herd, to satisfy their Hunger and their Beast, to elevate their self, to reassure themselves of the possibility of redemption or a grand plan of their own making or imposed upon them by their secret masters.

While some vampiric cults span the globe, hiding in plain sight, others are fringe faiths with morbid practices and ancient conspiracies that span centuries. Still others, like the incestuous Clan of Death and the malevolent Church of Set (which can be considered the largest vampiric cults), believe in a destiny that will allow them to impose their will on the world of the living and the dead.

Whether for power, salvation, or transcendence, all Kindred cults revel in blood. They spill it in sacrifices, demand it from their followers, and exalt themselves in it in unholy baptisms that proclaim their divine glory.

These cults dedicated to the Blood Gods are among the most insidious and cursed of Kindred sects, and these nights are nearing the height of their power.
