Suspire is the state that a Kindred achieves right before it decides if he is able to obtain Golconda. It is the final step on the road to salvation.
Overview[]
As with Golconda itself, rumors about it are widespread and uncertain, but it seems that it involves a perilous journey into the world of dreams and, ultimately, into the vampire’s own soul.
The vampire gets only one chance. If the vampire fails to succeed during the Suspire, he will never be able to achieve Golconda, and it is also said that the ritual itself is quite lethal for body and mind.
