The Ashfinders
“What is up my Vampies! I’m out here at the vigil. Hype up the after party! It’s giving mourning-like, plur-vibes. Cya tonite!🧛♂️💀💃 #RIPQueenAnne #WishuWereHere ”
If the Camarilla are gonna brand the Duskborn and use them as bait for The Inquisition; then why shouldn’t the Duskborn turn to what they know best? What’s a better masquerade than a whole group of online groupies pretending to be vampires - it’s one hell of a smokescreen.
Rumours of the apocalypse encircle The Clanless and Thin-Bloods; and the Ashfinders embrace it. A masquerade-breaching church built on social media; they spread their message through club toilets and instagram reels. If they aren’t allowed the quiet unlife; then why wouldn’t they build such a visible presence that they can’t just disappear? It’s about legacy, and the power that comes with a following.
The Sabbat had the Vaulderie, The Camarilla have their Blood Bonds; The Ashfinders have a eucharist of Ashe. A potent mixture of substances - bound together with thin-blood vitae - It imparts hallucinogenic visions of the past, present, and future upon those who imbibe. These visions impart the truth of their reality, break down the veil, and reveal the purpose of the Thin-blood condition. The end times are here, and the Ashfinders are going to ride the wave until its completion. Everyone else has some solid understanding about who they are - their sires, their clans, their blood; why shouldn’t the try and find their own answers? The Anarchs seem happy enough to have them - no Lick left behind and all that - but what is actually going on with these substances, and the messages within them, remains a mystery to most.
Why shouldn’t unlife be a party as well? Everyone’s welcome!
