In any event, this line, although still dependent upon blood to survive, also requires salt as an essential component to their survival. Also, although older examples of this line (one known among the Inconnu claims to be over 1500 years old) tend to be similar to the Brujah Idealists in philosphy, the tendency to frenzy is gone, another clue pointing away from Brujah origin.
Notrum are very philosophical and generally intellectual. Many are known to have joined the Inconnu in Golconda.
Whatever the cause, these Kindred seem to be able to manipulate salt as well as blood.
"I have not met with one of these Kindred yet, but I hope to soon. They would have much to share with us, I am sure."
Sabbat: They are a curious sect. They know the truth, but have taken the wrong path.
"They know much about the Antediluvians, more than most can claim to. But how do we know they aren't the agents of one..."
Inconnu: Many of these are our old friends. Their neutrality saddens us, but is understandable.
"They claim to be from Carthage, but I have my doubts. We should investigate, in any case, but can they really be considered Kindred? I'm not sure we should have been as open to them as we have been."
Anarchs: These "Anarch Free States" come close to the ideals of Carthage, but for the most part these Kindred are mere rabble.
"Just a bunch of fuddy-duddies."
Giovanni: These too are our enemies, along with the Tremere, usurpers of the blood.
"I met one of these, once. I am convinced that they mean none of the Kindred well, and merely wish to start with us."
