Sample Secrets of the Sect:
Sabbat Handshake: The Sabbat has a special handshake given only after the vampire is sure
the individual with whom he shakes hands is really a Sabbat. It is usually used to seal
bargins and in rituals.
Sabbat Oath of Loyalty: This is a special creed used by all Sabbat when swearing allegiance
to the sect.
Secret Password: The Archbishop of a city hands down a new password every once in a
while. It is used to determine if vampires encountered are Sabbat, and if so, if they have been
properly greeted to the city.
Secret Sign: The Sabbat has a series of signs used to test whether a vampire is truely a
member of the sect. The majority of the signs are so common that they would be overlooked
unless special attention was paid.
Pack Symbols: Packs often have special symbols for their pack which can be worn on
clothing or used to mark pack territory.
Tales: Packs often tell tales at their esbats, sometimes based on pack lore, pack heroes, or
vampiric history.
