TREMERE
From mortal mages to undead masters of Thaumaturgy, explore the dark chronicles of those who shaped blood into power and will into reality.
"The secrets of the cosmos bleed at my command, and no god dares deny me."— Tremere, The Founder
The Great Transformation
In the depths of medieval Europe, when the mortal House Tremere faced extinction, they made the ultimate sacrifice. Through forbidden rituals and the blood of the Antediluvian Saulot, they transcended mortality itself.
No longer bound by human limitations, they became something new—vampires who retained their mastery over the mystical arts, forever changed yet more powerful than ever before.
"We burned our humanity to light the path for our clan. Do not ask me to mourn it."— Etrius, The Loyalist
The Seven Circles of Thaumaturgy
Blood magic flows through seven distinct paths, each a gateway to power beyond mortal comprehension.

The fundamental manipulation of vitae itself
Lure of Flames
Command over the primal element of fire
Movement of Mind
Telekinetic mastery of the physical world
Path of Conjuring
Creation of objects from pure will
Weather Control
Dominion over the forces of nature
Spirit Manipulation
Communion with entities beyond the veil
The Fallen Houses
When the Vienna Chantry fell and the Pyramid crumbled, the clan splintered into four great Houses, each pursuing their own vision of what the Tremere should become.
"My soul is forfeit, but my oath endures. The Pyramid stands, though it crushes me."— Etrius, on duty and sacrifice
House Tremere
The Traditionalists
Led by Karl Schrekt • Camarilla Loyal
The old guard seeks to preserve what remains of the Pyramid's hierarchy. Through Dominate and ritual, they maintain order without the blood bonds that once enslaved them. They view themselves as the "true" Tremere, working to rebuild their power base and reintegrate the wayward houses.
"He is our father and our curse. To serve him is to bear the weight of damnation."
— EtriusHouse Goratrix
The Experimenters
Led by Goratrix • Inter-Sectarian
Risen from Sabbat ashes, this house pursues Blood Sorcery without restraint. They create thaumaturgical monsters and forbidden rituals, caring nothing for Masquerade or Humanity. Their "contract" system replaces blood bonds as they seek to advance magical knowledge at any cost.
"They call it order; I call it a cage. I'll shatter it and build my own throne."
— GoratrixHouse Carna
The Liberators
Led by Carna • Anarch-Aligned
A progressive coven that venerates Thaumaturgy as spiritual practice. They welcome diversity, experiment with Thin-Blood Alchemy, and practice "kink-forward" rituals that create voluntary bonds to Carna herself. Their mystical approach offers equality in place of hierarchy.
"The blood sings to me alone, and its song is chaos unbound."
— House philosophy inspired by GoratrixHouse Ipsissimus
The Individualists
Leaderless Network • Anarch Movement
A loose network of independent warlocks practicing "free Thaumaturgy" without oversight. Each member pursues their own magical studies, incorporating technomancy, biomancy, and blood cult mysticism. They reject all hierarchy in favor of pure individual expression.
"I clawed eternity from the gods' grasp—let them try to take it back."
— Individual ambition, inspired by Goratrix"My children will carve their names in the ashes of this world, or I shall unmake them."— Tremere, on the clan's destiny
