Background Information[]
This book, along with the original Clanbook: Assamite and Blood Magic: Secrets of Thaumaturgy, dates the Treaty of Tyre to 1496. Other sources either date it to 1493, the same year as the Convention of Thorns, or combine it with the Convention itself, either of which is incompatible with the version of events here.
