Summary

From the White Wolf catalog:
The End Is the Beginning Is the End
Long held in ill regard by other Kindred, the Deceivers nonetheless claim one of the oldest legacies of all the race of Caine. A young, vibrant clan, the Ravnos adapt, making the most of a hostile world and turning it to their advantage as best they can. To that end, was their near-total annihilation a Biblical punishment—or a rebirth from the ashes of the impending Gehenna?
Clanbook: Ravnos includes:
  • The history of the clan, from their first nights on the border of the Middle Kingdom to the holocaust of the Week of Nightmares
  • Character and story ideas for the clan's long, hard struggle to rebuild
  • New Discipline powers, Derangements and castes of the clan

Includes information on the jati or castes of the clan, the differences between Indian Ravnos and their Western brethren, their influence in the rest of the world, and a treatise on the true nature of their unique Beasts. As well as the usual section on the clan's attitude towards other clans and supernatural creatures, there is a detailed "Lupine Survival Guide", as the clan's propensity for travel means they are likely to encounter Garou sooner or later. The chapter finishes with a look at the Path of Paradox and the alternatives sometimes followed by Ravnos, and a detailed look at the Disciplines they practice, especially Chimerstry.
