This update has a new system for maintaining the Masquerade! Maintaining the Silence of Blood was one of the Traditions of the Dark Ages and came into primary importance with the events of the Anarch Revolt and Inquisition to become the most important tradition of the Camarilla.

- Watch the Masquerade Exposure of yourself, your dynasty and your vassals.
- Fund massive cover ups. Will you tutor other kindred on the Masquerade, or will you enforce it as a tyrant?
- Focus on reducing your own Masquerade exposure.
- Declare a Blood Hunt on vassals of other dynasties who have been exposed to imprison them or revoke their titles.
- See your Masquerade exposure rise as you invoke the more vulgar powers of the blood .
- Undesirable traits like arbitrary will cause exposure to increase, 'desirable' traits like paranoid will improve the Masquerade.
- Erase memories of mortals who have seen too much to protect the Masquerade, or to be even more sure... kill them.
- You may chose to completely ignore the Masquerade, but you will face hunter attacks if you fail to keep the Masquerade in your realm. The Shadow Inquisition, Akritai, Ilkhwan al-Safa and Judges are on the hunt for the Damned!

(for those familiar, we have re-purposed the Muslim Decadence system which was unused in the mod to make it a primary mechanic of Vampire game play)

Holy Fury introduced Bloodlines mechanics! Then Paradox announced they were publishing the successor to Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines! Bloodlines2! We are so excited! So excited that we made 165 bloodlines! There is a list of bloodlines in the mod wiki.

You can forge new bloodlines as well. One way to do so is by founding a major new sect like the Camarilla or the Sabbat!

Holy Fury also brought us Warrior societies and dueling. We have adapted the mod to those features as well.

The Einherjar, the Yasaq of the Anda and various Cainite Knightly Orders are now organized as warrior societies.

Dueling was expanded to give special options to Vampire victors for the fates of their vanquished foes. Staking is an option, which is the perfect thing to prohibit those sneaky elders from escaping your dungeons.

The Kindred plots where your character takes the lead are now resolved through duels, rather than a combination of Generation, Age and combat rating.

With the release of Vampire Fifth Edition, we are picking and choosing what features to adapt to the mod. One of the features we are adapting is predator types. Vampire characters will chose their preferred hunting method and prey. This has an impact on their traits, disciplines, opinions and the risk of Masquerade exposure. You may even get a new prominent member of your herd or a ghoul. Use of Predator Types is optional and be disabled by a Game Rule. There is a list of Predator Types in the mod's wiki.

Vampire republics are back! At 1230 start, there are number of Vampire Primogen Republics around the Mediterranean.
