The Stone

The Stone is a mythical artifact allegedly dating back to the first murder.

Overview

This mythic artifact has been the subject of considerable debate among the Faithful for as long as the Faithful have existed. In all that time, no matter the language, it has known only a single, simple name — it needs no other appellations or monikers. The Stone is the very object that Caine himself used to murder his brother Abel in so doing, bring the wrath of God and the curse of vampirism into the world of men.

According to various records of the Faithful, the object still exists somewhere on Earth. Beyond this fact, there is little the Faithful agree upon regarding this piece of Cainite history. The Stone is rumored to have the ability to destroy any Cainite who lays eyes upon it, while contrary rumors suggest that any Cainite who actually touches it will be freed from the Curse (though Final Death fulfills this promise, say the proponents of the former theory). Some believe the Stone to be the key finding Caine himself; others postulate that only when the weapon is found by one of the Faithful may Caine's original sin be washed clean, and thus the curse of undeath finally be lifted from the lot of Man.
