Summary

From the White Wolf catalog:

Arise, Sons and Daughters of Caine!

Some claim the Final Nights, told of in hoary prophecies and dread-filled whispers, have finally come to pass. Everywhere, the signs and portents are loosed upon the land. And with them, the Sabbat wages its bloodiest assaults upon the Camarilla cities. Are they simply monsters who glory in the fear and violence of the coming night? Or do their monstrous ways hide something far deeper and far more unexpected?

No Mercy, No Surrender, No Exception

The Sabbat Guide reveals the Cainite's most brutal sect in all its terrible glory. Here is updated information regarding the sect's fortune in the Final Nights, the bloody victories and appalling developments. Here is new information for creating Sabbat characters and about the sect's innermost workings. Here Storytellers may find new material about the war machine against the Antediluvians and how to create stories beyond nightly sieges.
