Instead, figure out first who she was at the beginning, in her mortal life and in the first few years of her unlife.” It may seem odd to focus on so small a part of the character’s existence but this is (literally) her formative years and they continue to shape the vampire’s psyche into their many centuries of living. As the book puts it, “don’t worry about establishing the centuries of background up front. Refreshingly so, in fact, there’s no need to make this into Scion.

I know it’s not a lot, but I just really like CoD intros so I like to stop and appreciate them. It’s got three themes (turned up to eleven, man), a guide to “How to Use This Book,” inspirational media, and other White Wolf books you might want to use with this. This includes most of the aspects of World of Darkness and Chronicle of Darkness books, which is a fantastic thing. The last chapter details elder NPCs, as well as other long-lived threats. Chapter two is about creating centuries-long histories, chapter four is about Devotions, Attributes, and Skills, and chapter four deals with Touchstones and creating groups of elders. I’ll go through this book chapter by chapter, starting with the Introduction then on to a chapter on creating an elder. On the other hand, it would be great to have a book that was more than just “here’s how to make super-deadly vampires!” and actually addressed the themes of the matter. Obviously, Dark Eras and Dark Eras Companion are excellent resources for vampiric elders, it even says so in the book’s introduction. This book is about elder vampires, creatures that have lived for centuries and been smart, adaptable, and ruthless enough to resist the grind of time.
With all of my Dark Eras posts lately, I was excited to see that A Thousand Years of Night was finally released by Onyx Path.
