Book of Crafts: Whispers of Dissent
A Mage 2nd book that describes the top eight Crafts in the World of Darkness. Each one comes from a different part of the world¸ and each has something to offer the reader. One of them will appeal to the reader¸ be it the Knights Templar or the Wu-Lung. Each Craft gets its own chapter¸ and that chapter describes everything that a gamer must know to properly portray a mage from such a Craft.
Walking Secrets...
Once¸ I met a Chinese woman with hobbled feet and ancient eyes. Once¸ I fought a knight whose armor shone like burnished light. In the streets of Cairo¸ sharp-toothed men gnaw sinners' bones; in Haitian midnights¸ the Loa dance.
Not all magi go to war¸ my young friend. Many dwell in the Titans' shade¸ the shadows of shadows. These so-called "Orphans" have families¸ Son¸ and their ways may be more ancient than our own
Don't piss 'em off.
- Hapsburg¸ Orphan Seer
...Ageless Ways...Those who see only the four sides of the Ascension Conflict ignore the "Crafts¸" Magickal societies that forsake Traditions and Technocracy for the Paths of their ancestors. Templars¸ voodoo priests¸ alchemists and modern Amazons are just a few of the nine groups detailed herein. What tales might they tell?
...Precious Truths.The Book of Crafts: Whispers of Dissent presents eight magickal societies from the borders of the Ascension War¸ and includes:
- Histories¸ beliefs¸ organizations and magicks for each Craft.
- Templates¸ rotes and companion consors.
- Intrigues and mysteries most Traditions never see.
