CAPPADOCII

By Brian Connors (connorbd@bc.edu)

Description

They draw their name from the region from which they come, although their Senex Asshur was in life a priest in the ancient civilization of Babylon (or that which came before). The Cappadocii are a bizarre and little-trusted faction among vampirekind, and their obsession with spirits and the dead is more than a little unsettling to others.

They hail from Cappadocia, near Asia Minor, in an area that the ibn-Haqimi have left alone, but they spread throughout the Mediterranean long ago. The average Cappadocian has an extensive knowledge of the death lore of the locals, and usually a decent smattering of many other beliefs. He will often also have extensive knowledge of the spiritual makeup of an area.
