In the days after Caine created his childer, and his grandchilder roamed the First City, Lilith did appear to one of Caine's children without Caine's knowledge. Lilith told Caine's childe of days to come, where a great war would fall upon them, and their childer, Caine's granchildren, would rise up against them. She told the childe that if he did not hide from the eyes of Caine's grandchildren, that final death would surely fall upon him. Lilith offered the childe of Caine refuge from the impending storm, for she did favor this childe of Caine more than all of Caine's children. Heeding Lilith's warning, the childe did go with Lilith and hide with her in the wilderness.
As the childe of Caine watched from afar, as surely as Lilith did warn, the grandchildren of Caine rose up against their own sires and slew them. Fearful, the childe of Caine asked of Lilith if they would search for him, for surely they knew that he was indeed missing. Consoled by Lilith, she told him that all was taken care of, and that she was safe within her arms. Again, as Lilith did say, the grandchildren, satisfied with their hunt, did not seek him out. The childe spent many nights with Lili [......text is missing......] n to the other children of Caine, Jahared took in his mind, a vile plot. He spoke to the others, and told them that he would show them where this childe of Caine did make his haven. In this way, he knew that he would have the beautiful Lilith to himself. The grandchildren of Caine accepted his offer, and greeted him to their coven.
Jahared did show the grandchildren of Caine the resting place of his sire after three days, for Lilith did leave the haven in search of Jahared. A great battle occurred in the haven, and after great destruction was wrought throughout the haven, the childe of Caine did perish and was taken by one known as Hakkim. Jahared was glad for the death of his sire, for now he believed Lilith to be his and his alone. In this time that he was alone, for Lilith still had not returned to the haven, Jahared did return to the wilderness and created children to accompany him.
Lilith did return to the haven in time, and seeing the havoc wrought throughout it, she questioned Jahared. Jahared did say unto her that the childe of Caine was slain by the grandchildren of Caine, who did force the location of his sire from him. Lilith did see through his lie, and she was enraged that this man would do such a thing.
Cursed are you, Jahared, for you did lie to me, and you did plot the death of your sire. Your crimes are great, and they stem from the lust within your soul for me.
Lilith then cursed Jahared, and sent him into the sleep of death, and banished him from the lands of the children of Caine.
Lilith did then take the children of Jahared and pulled them under her wing, for they were lost in the wilderness without their sire. She taught them that their sire had embraced them in a lie, and that they would never again be victim to his crimes, if they did learn from her and grow strong.
The children of Jahared did agree and learned from Lilith the powers of truth and ways of the night. They did learn and grew strong, but they did stay hidden from their brethren for Lilith instructed them to do so. Lilith told her new children that one day, they would rejoin their brethren, and they would aide them in the fight against Jahared, for he and the other grandchildren of Caine wished all their children ill-will.
After the days that Lilith did leave them, they did eventually emerge into the world, and disguise themselves from the other brethren, awaiting the time when Lilith would permit them into the world...
There are other members of the leadership of the Children of Lilith, and these are known as the Magnates. The Magnates are the regional leaders of the Children of Lilith. Regions are defined typically by continents. There is one Magnate for Europe and Western Asia, one in Africa, one in North America, one in South America, and one in Australia. The Magnates are the only ones who have contact with the Thane on a regular basis and this is mainly due to security purposes. The Magnates communicate to the Thane in their sleep in the form of dreams, the basis of their clan discipline Sublimate. They pass down the orders of the Thane to the other members of the clan. The Magnates cannot punish members of the clan by themselves, they must have a meeting where each Magnate must judge the indiscretion, and then sentence be carried out. This meeting is again held in a dreamstate where the member in question is held prisoner during the day in a sealed haven until sentence can be given.
The other members of this clan are very few indeed. The exact numbers, however, are unknown to all but the Thane and the Magnates. Each member is rather free to do as she pleases within a city, except for showing her true identity to other humans, or other vampires. The Masquerade for the Children of Lilith is one of the most strict and most important known by any vampire in the world today. Typically, any small instance of breaking the Masquerade can easily be corrected with the use of the clan discipline, Sublimate. If the Magnates, or even the Thane must be involved to cover up the infraction, the punishment is usually severe.
The nights of the Children of Lilith are typically very lonely, for they are not typically allowed to roam and interact with any other kindred or kine without the knowledge of who they are being compromised. On the other hand, the Children of Lilith are constantly working for the efforts of Lilith and doing her bidding in preparation for the attempted retaliation of Jahared. The Children of Lilith have been aiding the Sabbat (behind the scenes) since their creation, and they wish to see their goals met, that being, the destruction of the Antediluvians.
The Children of Lilith are required to meet once per year in the Dreamlands. There, the Thane discusses with the entire clan the future of the Children of Lilith. In these meetings, the words of Lilith are passed down to them, as well as the year's history told to the entire clan.
Brujah: They are mostly rash, arrogant beasts. There are some, however who are scholars and intellectuals. These few are the only hope of the Brujah, for they need to have a strong leadership to guide their extreme power in the end. Power without guidance will do only superficial damage.
Caitiff: They are unworthy of the glory of Lilith, but they still have a use in Lilith's plans. If used properly, they shall be a great tool against Jahared.
Gangrel: Their infrequent alliances with Lupines aide them more than they know. They are wise and are capable of great rationalization, even in times of stress. They shall be great assets in the time of Gehenna.
Giovanni: They worry far too much about material things. If they were to open their eyes and face the real dangers at hand, they would be a useful tool. However, if they persist in their ways, the end shall sneak up on them like a serpent in the tall grasses.
Malkavian: There is truth in their lies, there is wisdom in their insanity. They are the great visionaries of the vampires. Heed their warnings, if you can decipher them. They know much more than they even are aware of themselves.
Nosferatu: They subvert their own kind, and trust naught but themselves. They shall never fully trust anyone, and hence, shall be one of the first to fall to the sleeping ones fangs.
Ravnos: They are lost children, without direction. They fill their time with idle amusements. Some do realize the importance of their role in the final days, but their peers seem to retrain them from their true purposes.
Toreador: They are self-aggrandizing buffoons who spend all too much time in themselves. They care little for anything but their art, and other things they do care about hold little real significance. If they are taught to see the truths, like their antitribu brothers, then perhaps they shall become useful in the final days.
Tremere: This clan of great power knows more than they will ever tell. They shall be one of the greatest assets during Gehenna, however, only those who have broken the bond. The rest shall be taken down like ripe wheat in the harvest to the farmers scythe.
Ventrue: This clan is heading in the right direction by controlling kine and their assets, but this will be only a mere diversion in the final war.
Camarilla: They are merely deluding themselves, going about their own agendas, while the constant threat of Jahared and the Antediluvians approach. If only they could be properly warned of this threat. Perhaps when we are allowed to reveal ourselves, they will listen, and hopefully it will not be too late.
Anarchs: They will be a great tool in the last days, for they should be able to see the real threats before them. When they do realize the threat before them, they might be able to concentrate their forces and aid us in the fight.
Sabbat: They are brutal, and some antitribu border on mindlessness, but with their leadership clans, they should be able to direct the sect in the right direction. They realize the threat that the Antediluvians pose, and they are constantly working to defeat them. It is the Sabbat that we shall fight behind in the final days.
Inconnu: Not much is known about these reclusive vampires, for we are warned to stay away from them. What we do know of them, is that they are no longer what they once were and many of them now have infernal aims.
Lupines: If they can be guided, they can aid us during Gehenna. Only if they are first convinced that Jahared and his companions are truly the prophets of the wyrm.
Magi: We have been instructed to remain out of their affairs, and they present quite a mystery to us.
Wraiths: These are perhaps the only friend that we are permitted to freely associate with. Much wisdom can be gained from them, and they can also aid you in quite mysterious ways.
