Here is an exert of the Revised Sabretooth Clan Book V2 (releasing late 2014) of the official Sabretooth Family Lexicon. This information is for members of the Sabretooth Clan and who have gone through the Rite of Transformation with Father Sebastiaan.
Please note;
1. This does not include all of the terminology used by the OSV (Ordo Strigoi Vii) such as energy manuplation and esoteric workings…
2. The ONLY official information about the Sabretooth Clan will either be posted on my personal website at / or on www.sanguinarium.net. If it is not in one of these two locations it is NOT official information.
