Archons & Templars is a sourcebook for the enforcers of the Kindred sects: the Archons of the Camarilla, and the Templars and Inquisitors of the Sabbat.
Summary[]
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Vanguards of the Great Sects
- Titles among the Damned aren't always primogen and prisci. Somebody has to do the dirty work. From fighting Lupines to hunting rogue Cainites, from enforcing the Traditions to leading a crusade, a few bold vampires step to the head of the charge. Those vampires are the unsung champions of the night.
