Book of nod free pdf download






















Move one step before those who see by the Moon. Never abide weakness. Keep your children loyal. Walk with your head high. Let the Beast rule you. Mark where you hunt, so that your brothers and sisters will know and not intrude. Take all you need, but be mindful that the hunter can become the hunted and there are those who find us no matter how we flee. Should you become confused go and eat only of animals for a moon sleep in the earth and drink in sweet water You will hear my voice in your ears like a distant bird's cry or lion's roar, And you will know what to do.

Let no one say that the House of Cangrel is a dishonorable one Let no one say that we are not brave. Let no one say that we are not fair. You, a child of the Beast, a child of Darkness, are first among Kindred. Nosferat's Words30 You are the children of Shadow You are the sons and daughters of Darkness Seek the darkest place Make it your own Feed on the wicked, feed on the sinful.

My childer, look not at your visage to curse me, for I know the beauty that lies within, and no greater beauty will there ever be. The Words of Toreador to his Childer31 In quiet, you will know beauty, in beauty you will know truth, in truth you will know love, in love, you will know quiet.

My children, my creations my beautiful things Watch and listen, listen and watch. Use your sight, to see the truth in beauty. Use your speed, to stay still, Use your beauty, to know truth. My children, my creations, gentle roses all I have called for your sculpture I have called for your pictures I have called for your song I have called for your dancing Beautiful children, beautiful creations Gold is not as precious Honey not as sweet Milk not as pure Like the tiger, you bite like the hawk, you dive, like the cat, you stalk.

Beautiful predators! Sweet succubi! Daring incubi! Find your greatest part of Joy, Follow your greatest part of Joy, and know that I watch you, enthralled, my children, my creations, my beautiful ones. We ruled in [the Second City] Dumuzi! We are every great man, every perfect man. We rule, not by strength, but by right. Be the law-giver, the tool-maker, Carry the sacred [Me] to the people, Keep the covenant, Bind those that rebel, Glory in those who fight and win, Keep strong swords about you always, and sharp eyes at your back.

Cower not in fear of the Sun! Shrink not from Fire! Though cursed we may be We are the Lords of the Earth, and all things fall under our dominion. Saulot's Words33 Know you are made to be unmade You are the white lamb The gentle sacrifice You are the greatest part of the bounty of Caine And on your shoulders shall be his greatest Sin, for alone among the children of Caine I have asked the One Above for forgiveness, And though I may die, you, my childer will live on.

Open thy Eye, and see the world truly, and know that what you do now goes on to heal another generation. Under the curling, blasting waters, beyond the pool of Veyd-sah-me, in the grotto of Shal-ka-mense did they gather, did they gather, to embrace their sleeping Father's form.

Found him sleeping? Found him wakeful, battle-ready, eyes abright, smiling at his ancient Childer waging war in the waxing light. Now the stars they one by one blot their ways into lightning sky Now the fires burn hell and cinder Now the heat reveals the pyre.

Too long! They did by Veyd-sah-me, tarry long enough to see the light of Dawn upon their Father's Face. And in the turning, burning Mark, they saw the Finger of Gods own hate, twisting, curling, God's own Word it Set apart Caine's lonely fate And as they burned in hell-bright fires, as they saw the melted flesh as they burned with their own Kindred Caine blessed more funeral pyres Taking in his bloody Sacrament.

Seek not the blood of thine own Elder Seek not the blood of thy Sires Sire Seek not the blood that made thee Kin For thou will feel the funeral pyre When thou dost pay for thy immortal sin. You are my Childer: alone among the rest of existence, you are my only companions, forever will we be locked in the way that fathers are bonded to their sons and sons to their fathers.

And yet. I will root out the bad seed. I will weed out the worst of you. I will prune my dark tree, in the manner 37 that my Father, Adam, taught me. Keep safe the water- bearer, the builder, the undertaker. These are not to be prey. Not one of 43 them will leave it be. Two sips. I accept. Three sips. I refuse. Seek shadows. Take directly from men.

Take sweetly from children. Take haltingly from animals. From Kindred, share. From the Moon-Beasts, feast. This, of course, is the foundation of theThird Tradition of the It is said that the, elder who helped pen the original Traditions the first time the large body of laws, rules, customs, and guidelines that supposedly governed Kindred was actually codified into a recognizable set of rules discovered a version of the Chronicle of Shadows that appeared originally as blank pages of parchment but were revealed by smearing vitae over the leaves.

The founders of the Camarilla used this "Blood Chronicle" as the foundation of their Traditions. Our Sabbat brethren, those who revere Caine, say that this is perhaps the only part of the Chronicle of Shadows which actually retains its original meaning.

They use it as justification for their diablerie. The Six Tradition. Again we see the influence of the Book of Nod on the Traditions. A curious counterpoint, this particular stanza is totally contrary to the Becoming practices of the Malkavian and Nosferatu clans.

Of course, these two clans were cursed by Caine originally, and thus it is not contradictory that he include them in his proscriptions. This stanza has been used a few times throughout the ages as a justification for a Purge of kindred when the population ratio gets to be a bit much. Of course. The vampiric werewolf is truly a foul thing indeed.

I had a conversation with one at a distance - he was sedated at the time and, in addition to his pathetic condition he seemed to be afflicted with a very highly advanced paranoia.

He was certain that one of his kind - I can only assume another Abomination - was hunting him, and that the longer my Gangrel friend and I detained him, the shorter his lifespan became. Whatewer the state of an Abomination, it is true that Lupine blood is both addictive and highly potent, containing obvious dangers to both unlife and limb. I personally take Caine's proscription in this matter quite seriously.

Caine speaks of Mages here. They are inscrutable, but it is known that through their secret rituals they can draw power forth from our very blood. It is also known that they are, all their power aside, merely kine. It is said that some faeries have special connections to the Kindred.

In a tiny Irish village named Withy-by-the-Wash. I spent a lovely evening with a gentleman Malkavian who had found a very quiet niche among the villagers there. He offered me a taste from a jug of "Sidhe blood" as he called it. Whatever the concoction that I imbibed that evening I was told later that it was cow's blood mixed with special mush rooms found in the nearby forest I woke up the next evening, having melded with the earth by instinct, I imagine on a hill outside the village.

I was naked, with strange blue clay smeared all over my body. A most unusual occurrence. This is a powerful statement, however short. We see time and time again the tragedy that occurs because Kindred ignore this simple Caine's pronouncement in this area gives far reaching powers to any Kindred who claim it. It is the source of a large part of the revealed authority that Kindred claim over the Canaille.

An early counterpart to firefighters. This is a strong proscription, and one that is almost not necessary in these modern times. I hear tales of Kindred throughout the world, from time to time, becoming as a Cod to mortals and ruling them as one. It is curious how these petty Gods do not usually last. I have had a quiet conversation with one of the children of Saulot, the blood-line known as the Salubri. They believe that it is their duty. Another foundation of a Tradition.

This stanza speaks very clearly of the Tradition of Hospitality, the Fifth Tradition. This stanza has far-reaching consequences for many Kindred, and yet it is quite a newly discovered fragment. I found this particular piece of the Chronicle of Shadows only after much travail, danger and the destruction of three of my companions.

We ascended to the highest heights of the Himalayas, where we found this fragment written on a stone tablet in cuneiform under the protection of a Sufi mystic who knew us immediately. Strange creatures in those mountains abducted my companions, and I only survived by sinking into the frozen earth and awaiting Spring.

I believe that. If this fragment were widely published, it would change many of the customs involving Kindred interaction and the use of ghouls against each other, but I leave interpretation in the hands of the Archons and Justicars. This has ever been the practice of the Kindred, not particularly because of the Chronicle of Secrets, but because it is common sense.

As we have seen in the Chronicle of Caine. This stanza is mystifying to me. Does it speak of angelic spirits, men of Faith, or some other being which has yet to be revealed? Whether or not the previous stanza deals with Angels, this stanza most certainly deals with the Infernal agents called demons.

I have seen this inscription on amulets and seals that were set to protect against the Infernal. These stanzas govern ghouls. As a side note. Legends say he guards a significant quantity of Caine's blood, which helps to retain his ghoul status. If this is true. All good advice from our Father. This bespeaks his cunning knowledge of the Changers, who were active even in his day.

Stories that Caine went among them as a wolf. Faerie Lore dictates that the Arcadians arc "too good for Hell, not good enough for Heaven. Kindred who discover the Fey may do well to listen to their Fathers words in this matter. Of all the fragments of the Chronicle of Secrets, it was this fragment that I found to be the most elusive, perhaps because it carries a good measure of the truth about the Sidhe. Caine and his childer were present at the dawning of human civilization, so they saw these mages come among the people, bringing words, agriculture, architecture and more.

Is it any wonder that marvels such as the pyramids and the hanging gardens of Babylon were possible then? Mages were originally given free reign to follow their magick. I do not know why they have since been limited: one wonders what magick they could work in the modern age. Perhaps they, like us, must hide from the eyes of humanity. I purchased this as a scroll, complete and fresh, having been perfectly preserved for millennia.

The scroll was in the possession of Giovanni businessman who had heard of my lust for the fragments of the Book of Nod. He took in payment amount of diamonds from South Africa and my spare copy of the Codex of Caine. Normally, I do not have dealings with Giovanni family, but this was literally an offer that I did not feel able to refuse. These Commandments are a puzzle to me. Whether they are direct from an original part of the Chronicle of Shadows or they are merely a summarization penned by a later author.

I do not know. I find them useful, and they are an interesting counterpart to the other, more famous "Commandments. I have long wrestled with the question "Are these truly the words of the founders of the Clans? Whether or not I understand them is irrelevant: I have shown each of these fragments to elders in each of these Clans and they feel that they are appropriate. Thus, I include them here.

Ironic, is it not, that Brush's children all share his frenzying nature, this flaw from his mold? In this translation, it is quite simple to see Brujah's latent violence in his word choice "throw off shackles," "shatter," "heal wounds". I reproduce it here as the provenance for the translation is unmistakable: I received this fragment as the fulfillment of a major boon from a certain famous Brujah traditionalist.

Critias, whose Codex of Caine was the inspiration for this work. Some have called Cangrel the "Lupine blood suckers. Although they are perhaps related in some strange way to the Lupines, they are quite clearly their own clan. Silent and far-roaming, they became my greatest allies in the search that took me all around the globe. I think that perhaps the fact that I had many stories to tell, especially stories of the ancient Cainites, made them interested in helping me. Many Cangrel made me promise to mention their names in my stories, and so I do so here: Windam, Cornell, Piotr, Chauson.

Illyana, Far Runner who fell from a great Herve, Marshall, Colina and Miss Colina. I have no way of knowing whether this is authentic, or even translated correctly. My only provenance is this: in all my travels, when I asked a Malkavian Elder to quote a section of the Book of Nod, they all quoted this stanza almost verbatim. This is too much of a coincidence for me to overlook, and if it is a prank, then so be it.

He would speak no further of this Doom. I procured this fragment from an exquisite childe of Rafael himself, the architect of the Masquerade. I am ashamed to reveal what I gave to her in exchange. Suffice it to say it was from the Orient, and was quite erotic in nature.

It is interesting that Toreador uses animal imagery to describe his children. Still, this is to be expected from a nearly primitive culture.

The words "succubi" and "incubi" are direct translations, and back up my theory that all such legends of demons visiting maidens and young men in their beds at night must have been Kindred taking their blood. The erotic illumination around this fragment certainly depicted this practice in great detail.

I was provided this fragment by a Ventrue elder, one of the princes of the city of Berlin. When he heard of my quest for knowledge, he wanted to make sure that the golden words of a their Founder would never be lost. So, for a modest fee one that I paid gratefully. I was allowed to translate and copy the fragment to my heart's content.

While I was scribing. I noted several other scrolls penned presumably by Ventrue and several of his more powerful children. I was able to read these scrolls surreptitiously, but I was not allowed to copy them.

They were dictates to leaders that read like an ancient version of Machiavelli's "The Prince. Saulot was well-loved among the Antediluvians, but his habit of mystically augmenting his senses and spouting forth prophecy was quite disturbing. I was able to transcribe this fragment from the words of a Salubri ceremony that I attended. I could not tell for sure. Still, my childe Beckett would have me believe that it is a singular form.

This poem may be just a legend, a fine story told around a Gangrel's fire, or for the amusement of a Toreador's enclave. Or it may have something more.

Where is Shal-ka-mense? I have no idea. I believe it to be a Middle Eastern place perhaps near the Mediterranean near the city of Jerusalem. Several Kindred legends talk of Caine's hiding place, and a few have even mentioned "Shalkamain," which could be a corruption of Shal-ka-mense. Certainly many Ancilla have chanted it at their questing Diabolists.

There is ample speculation that this fragment wasn't written by Caine. Instead, it is thought that Irad. The Prince of London is fond of quoting this stanza before declaring a Blood Hunt. Many Justicars teach it to their Archons when teaching them their duties. These proverbs were collected from all over the world. I have no other place to put them, so I will place them here.

They contain bits of Antediluvian wisdom. I believe, and that alone was the deciding factor on whether or not they should be included. This refers to the fickle nature of the Toreador, something which is legendary. This is quite apropos. For my part. I followed this dictum quite rigorously, and its inherent common sense never failed me.

Cangrel are often willing to help you escape if it seems that you are listening to their common sense. My sire used to say. To this day. I will not feed on these people. Water-bearer, to my mind. Note, however, how many elders still follow these practices in theory, if not in reality. This translates to the modern day quite easily. While "Priest" is self-explanatory, the "Poet" is perhaps not quite the same today as it was ID nights of yore.

I would say that the newspapermen of our age are the most feared, with the broadcasters being the second most dangerous. Finally, the common man will often go to great lengths to uncover a secret that he barely grasps. The common man is often immune to the Masquerade because of his lack of high-mindedness and dour demeanor.
