WhatAreBrujah?
To the other clans the typical Brujah is a dumb, gun toting, waste of space. The only thing that they are good for is cannon-fodder. But in some cases that is not as true as it may seem.
The Brujah clan started off as philosopher/warriors and some still are, but most abandoned the philosopher thing after the second city was destroyed by the Ventrue. They then became disillusioned with their philosophy and changed it so the general thought was the only way to regain their mind/body control was through physical power. Most Brujah now just concentrate on the physical and have abandoned the quest for their personal mind control. Although it has started to be realised among the clan members that look at their history that mind control and power is better than just physical power.
A Brujah is supposed to act against the system but that ain't always the way. It is possible to get Brujah that love and follow the Camarilla to a 'T'. And there are
Brujah that love the Sabbat and cherish the Diablory thing (maybe the only reason?). So you can see there is no real guidelines for Brujah thought or action. A Brujah is a Brujah and there is nothing you can change about that, OK?
TheSecondCity
Hellas and Carthage. The perfect cities. These were ours and they were the concern of no other clan. Kindred and kine living together in harmony, kindred as gods and the kine treating them as gods. But in Athens, the kine took steps to stop corruption and with every step they took, a bit of kindred control diminished.
Other kindred were allowed entrance and each brought their own to the kine. Toreador inspired the artists of Hellas. Through both kindred and kine Hellas prospered, but alas, every good thing must end.
Hellas was found to be an elder experiment. This growth had come to an end and Hellas was abandoned to Rome. The most renowned Brujah abandoned Hellas and all it had produced because of its corruption. Corruption drives from the ideal.
The Brujah fled to Carthage and controlled it as they had Hellas, but this waas no experiment, and it was a triumph of the clans beliefs. Neither before or since then has a clan focused such effort to recreate an ideal. But this did not last, and the city was razed to the ground by the Ventrue. Those of the clan who lived, fled to the corners of the earth, and to this day fury boils in our blood. The Brujah built Carthage for the childer of Caine, but memories and thirst for revenge fade slowly among immortals.
The Ventrue take great pleasure in denouncing our triumphs. And their versions show Carthage to be the Devils Pit, listeners hear this and happily take it as the truth, yet when Carthage was ours, the Devil did not yet exist. Our advances in the mortal world are not spoken about. The jealousy burning in our enemies hearts at the thought of Carthage and its splendor. Yet it is seen as worthy of only the evilest minds and actions.
Carthage must be avenged. The Ventrue who spread the lies of Carthage must be taught the truth, they must be taught that lies only pay with death. They must be shown the way. The true way. The way of the Brujah.
