The Sanguinaria

  • Our Working Version: The Sanguinaria (working version)
  • The tale of the first Dark Apostles, including the Five Martyrs.
  • The Sanguinaria and Sanguineous Catechism are not the same thing.
  • "The Sanguinaria is a complicated and awkwardly written book, and many Sanctified theologians speculate that it was originally intended to be two separate books and then somewhat artlessly combined into a single text. Much of the book addresses the fates of some of the first Dark Apostles, who, after their training by Longinus and the Monachus, were sent out into the world as missionaries to preach the philosophy of the Lancea Sanctum to the rest of the Damned. The Dark Apostles rarely found willing listeners, and five of the Dark Apostles identified in the text were martyred and posthumously became known as the Black Saints. One of these martyrs was the Ventrue Icarius" (LS, pg. 52)
  • "Interspersed between the accounts of the various Dark Apostles and their ultimate fates are completely unrelated sections which appear to be philosophical treatises on the nature of vampirism and damnation, as well as proverbs and sayings attributed to Longinus and the Monachus." (LS, pg. 52)
  • So, basically, you have to write two totally seperate books and mash them together. You have to decide (see the Torements section) how many Dark Apostles there were, and which ones died. One of them has to be Icarius. Two others are Gilad and Adria (LS, pg. 35), who die in 241AD. Another is Pazit (LS, pg. 36), who dies sometime after or around 286AD. Maron was another, who died in 329AD (LS, pg. 36).
  • Now, that's all well and good, but I've left one out. Normally, that would be Saint Daniel, but it doesn't mention when he dies in the history. Likewise, as you'll recall, the section I quoted from the Sanguinaria says that Icarius was one of the Five Martyrs, but if that's the case then one of those names (most likely, Daniel) must be in error. So, which is it Daniel or Icarius?
  • Well, according to the history, the Icarian Heresy bean in 1388 (LS, pg. 38 ). That's probably outside the scope of the Sanguinaria. All the information about Daniel, however, doesn't ever mention when he dies (LS, pg. 35). So, you guys are going to have to figure out what you want to do about that.
