Ventrue Schism

The Ventrue Schism of Clan Ventrue occured during the decline of Rome and the split between Byzantium and the rest of the Empire. Some, led by Antonius the Gaul, wandered to Constantinople to participate in the Dream, others remained, facing the rise of the Catholic Church and the ascendance of the Holy Roman Empire. The two disparate branches of the clan went about their own plans, largely ignorant of each other for some time until the War of Princes erupted.
