Thanatosis

Thanatosis is the exclusive Discipline of the Samedi bloodline that involves manipulating effects of death and decomposition. In some ways it is similar to Necromancy.

Overview

The Discipline deals with the appearance of death in all its forms. The practitioners are obsessed with the appearance of death, finding themselves shunned by all but the most twisted of Kindred.
