Dark Ages: Vampire

The "Revised" edition of Vampire: The Dark Ages, Dark Ages: Vampire was the initial rulebook for the Dark Ages line of White Wolf games. DAV differed considerably from its predecessor, not only in terms of the massive social changes outlined in the book, but also by introducing a sequence of rulebooks in the same fatsplat manner used by Exalted and eventually refined with the revised Storyteller System.

The Main Idea
Dark Ages: Vampire takes place in 1230, approximately 30 years after Vampire: The Dark Ages. The Long Night has ended, and now the War of Princes rages across Europe. The Vampires of the War of Princes are riven across complex boundaries of Clan and Road, with additional caste boundaries caused by the divisions between High and Low clans.

Dark Ages: Vampire introduces many of the philosophical ideas outlined in Vampire: The Masquerade: Revised into the dark ages setting. Characters are now less tied to clan (although the boundary between the noble high clans and the poor and outsider low clans does reverberate through the systm) and the Roads have been expanded from paths into full religions.
