Anarch Revolt

The Anarch Revolt is generally assumed to be an indirect consequence of the witch-hunts of the Inquisition. When Elder vampires started to panic the younger Kindred were tend to be used as cannon fodder. A number of these younger Kindred banded together, and formed the basis of the Anarchs.

The Anarchs decided to throw of the shackles of their Elders. The Elders themselves, their resources devastated by the Crusades and Inquisition, were too independent and paranoid to consider their only option: banding together like the Anarchs. About two dozen of them proved to be an exception that would mark the beginning of the Camarilla.

When entire clans started to come together under their banner (officially in 1450) they finally had the means to mass their strength to bear on the Anarchs. After some 40 years of fighting the Anarchs surrendered in 1493, and the Convention of Thorns treaty made. A number of Anarchs did not surrender but run, later to form the Sabbat.
