Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:


 * A History of Evil
 * From the anarchs who forged the Sabbat to dreaded Dracula himself, the Tzimisce have carved an indelible place for themselves among the society of the Damned. The modern nights have caught up with these monsters, however, who have fallen from their place as masters of hoary estates to degenerates bound by the callous whims of the Sabbat. Theirs is a nightly struggle, not only to survive, but also to escape their grim destiny and once again rise to prominence.

Chapter One: A Rabble of Fiends
An introduction to the special terminology used by the Tzimisce, followed by the history of the Tzimisce. Enoch created the antediluvian known only as [Tzimisce], who was meant to carry his evil and Beast and therefore be sacrificed, Enoch spared his childe when [Tzimisce]] showed great intellegence rather than the feral nature Enoch expected. The Eldest went on to create Vicissitude, tried to escape the curse of its creation, Embraced many to create a new clan, and made its way to the Carpathian Mountains, wresting it from the Garou and giving the Tzimisce their classic homeland. [Tzimisce]'s oldest childe, Yorak, inherited the clan, becoming voivode, helped it grow, and secured the clan's rule over humanity in the Carpathians. Since then, the Tzimisce have been behind many changes, including the Anarch Revolt and the creation of the Sabbat. There is also information on the Tzimisce of Africa and India.

Chapter Two: Ego and Evolution
Information on the society of the Tzimisce, including background in their Embracing practices, clan weakness, the use of blood bonds and Koldunic Sorcery, their work in the Sabbat, the hierarchy of the Tzimisce, factions within the Tzimisce such as the Old Clan Tzimisce and the Children of the Dracon, and their views on the other clans and thier own antitribu. This is then followed by information on the Path of Metamorphosis and other Paths of Enlightenment that Fiends tend to follow, and on the Revenant families and ghouls that the Tzimisce have created and used for centuries. And finally are gameplay goodies, such as Koldunic Sorcery abilities, how Tzimisce use other Disciplines, improved powers for several Disciplines, and Tzimisce Merits and Flaws.
