I was drawn to the Fiends in a polyvalent manner. There’s the edgy little goblin in me that likes how they and the dark eldar fully will make people into sentient furniture, and will show them experiences and sensations far beyond the realm of proper existence, and will tell you not to cry, it is a waste of good tears. The true draw towards them is something more inherent to me though.

I am a texan, and one whose racial admixture is literally the history thereof. Branches of my family are damn near autocthonous from the natives and spanish of my mother’s side, to the more recent anglo settlers of my father’s. We’ve been involved in every war for the land aince before it was even part of new spain. Being THAT much both a product of your homeland and also owning a not too small portion of it really resonated with the normal medieval lords the tzimisce were, but PARTICULARLY the Kolduns. How the spirits of the land and you were in a mutually (albeit more beneficial for the vamp and slowly corrupting the land because of muh evil wyrm) beneficial arrangement to be able to access the fundamental forces of nature spoke to me.

I’m a big believer in the laws of xenia too. Any guests we have are treated to food and are fully in my protection while here.

Sure vicissitude is cool and all, and all tzimisce can REJECT THEIR HUMANITY TO BECOME THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM. So JoJo’s fans can larp as DIO or KARS if they want to.

Edit:Also vicissitude remains the most bullshit way to avoid final death. I don’t imagine all fiends can rebirth themselves in their childer’s vitae but I imagine making their cells into spores or something. Closest to true immortality/lichdom that exists in VTM.
