For roughly a week, every Malkavian in existance was completely lucid. The walls they had built to protect their psyches simply vanished, leaving them to experience unadulterated Reality. The Paranoid could talk to anyone. The Schizo heard no more voices. The Obsessive didn need it anymore.

We were sane.

And this drove us yet further Mad. Those who can still remember that time recount it as among the most painful experience of their lives. We were lost. Where once we commaned Madness and manuevered it to survive through each night, we instead careened off the walls of the terrible, awful Truth. Many simply sat and wept.

Upon reawakening to our Dream, we found new power; a greater understanding of the Madness within ourselves and all things. The command of our own Psyches now could be stretched to touch whomever we wished. It went by many names then, but now it is obvious what this is.

We call it Dementation.

Something is coming. Something new. Malkavs brood is spreading, and not all are of the Blood. Soon the whole world will shatter and our god will be reborn. The link we shared these eight and twenty months is now sporadic, but the web includes many more than it once did. The Madness creeps ever forward, and while we fall apart we are now less alone than ever before.



As with all the major clans, the Malkavians originated in the pre-Flood city Enoch. Little is known about the clans early composition, only that their Antediluvian Malkav was a seer Embraced by one of the Second Generation. Malkav was particularly close to two other Kindred: Saulot, the founder of the Salubri, and Set, god to his followers. Some accounts suggest the three shared the same sire, possibly Enoch himself.

Sometime after the Flood, Malkav was ambushed and murdered by his fellow Antediluvians. Most Malkavians believe that he is still alive, only now he exists entirely within the Madness Network (or \\\"Cobweb\\\"), the group mind that all Malkavians share. Some Malkavians speculate that Malkav is Clan Malkavian, and that when Gehenna arises, he will devour the clan whole and reconstitute himself.
The Malkavians always had a dangerous reputation due to their madness and their signature Dementation discipline, which can induce madness in others. With the Inquisition and the formation of the Camarilla, the clan faced possible extinction at the hands of other clans - the Malkavians were just too dangerous to continue existing. In order to prevent this, the elders of the clan changed the Clan in ways unknown and incomprehensible - the result was that the majority of Clan Malkavian discarded Dementation in favor of the Dominate discipline. More disturbingly, the majority of Malkavians, even those present at the time of the change are unaware that this happened. A small fragment of the clan preserved the Dementation discipline, defecting to the Sabbat and becoming antitribu.

This \"Great Trick\" means that almost all Malkavians are antitribu. While Sabbat Malkavians possessed the same mystical abilities as their ancestors, the violent environment of the Sabbat drove the antitribu even madder: all Malkavians have a mental disorder they cannot overcome, but Sabbat Malkavians have two.

This division was fixed in 1998, when for reasons unknown to anyone, the Dementation resurfaced within the Camarilla.



Our affiliations are with the Camarilla and the Tremere.
