THE ERA OF CREATION
At first a wind blew, which in bare space know no path and followed no direction, but this wind was born. Then music burst forth. This was a song without notes, without words, and without a name. This was a song of life, that life which was engendered in emptiness. It flowed, lingered, and intertwined with the wind, yet did not merge with it and left its trace in the space not of this world. Suddenly a spark flashed. A first, second, third. A circle took shape from the small twinkling points which grew larger and larger. And there now appeared an enormous fireball which breathed and pulsated, ready at any moment to explode into millions of blazing particles. An instant ... and an awesome vortex of wind, music, and fire swirled in a frenetic dance, a ritual dance that created at the same time both the organic WHOLE and the disconnected ORIGINS. The fireball did not explode but as though disintegrated into a multitude of bright stars, each of which bore away a particle of the wind and a particle of the music. About each star, sprouted seeds – the planets. Taking root in the field of space, they were charged with energy, supplied by the spirit.
The first of his kind,
Grumvol, was paranoid and diluted as he saw the end of chakra within him so he started to learn the way of how to achieve
immortality. Through time, Grumvol gathered many people with the same desire and ambition. Together they traveled all around the Shinobi world in order to discover the secret of eternal life.

MorigakureHistory of Tremere
The Tremere were still new, and knew next to nothing about how to use their recently acquired abilities. Without this knowledge, the Tremere would face a difficult battle in the years ahead. The world saw these new kindred as blasphemers and usurpers who sold their souls to the
Devil. A simple misstep could prove disastrous to a Tremere member who did not hide himself effectively enough, especially since they had very limited mastery of their powers. The situation quickly spiraled out of control as the clans they had experimented upon prior to their unlife rallied together to destroy the fledgling Tremere clan. In addition, those clans had rallied the support of many powerful allies, including other groups of shinobis, to hunt down the Tremere.
In order to combat this great threat, the founder Grumvol and his council began to research a new ways of utilizing chakra. From this they developed
Thaumaturgy,
a means to use the power in their blood to give additional potency to chakra. Knowledge of this new chakra spread throughout the clan like wildfire and it very quickly began to replace the mystic arts as the Lure of Flames was potent indeed. Many say that the founders created even more powerful chakra, but refused to spread this knowledge to the rest of the clan out of fear that it would be abused. This has more truth to it than many rumors as the founders did indeed create a much more potent path of Thaumaturgy known as
Bijuu.
However, their fear was not that it would be abused, but that younger members could use it against them and destroy the clan. So great was the threat that all resources that showed how to use Bijuu were burned completely.
With this new chakra, Tremere chantries did take a lot of damage, but it was a lot less that it could have been.
In the end, the Tremere were able to drive off their enemies and establish themselves as a significant power in the world. Over the decades, the Tremere spread quickly across Shinobi World. The converts took to Thaumaturgy with ease, giving them an edge over the other groups of shinobis.
It's true that the Tremere didn't spread as quickly as they could have, but they didn't need to. The clan has its own interests, and its own goals.
Social Standings
For the most part, the Tremere are unknown to the world. They like to remain obscure and out of sight. However, hiding themselves from the world would only bring suspicion upon the clan, so they try to integrate themselves into society in any way they can. While their talents would best be used as scholars and strategists, this would only serve to expose the clan as others would begin to ask
why these people do not age or rather, age very slowly. As such, those who can manage to hide it may work in the public eye,
but most do menial tasks at night, as that is the only time they can exist.Unique traits: Skin color is pale, irises can turn sky blue or gold depending on the vampire and after death their spirit leaves the body as corpse and travels to the next vessel transferring memories/knowledge of previous life.Strengths: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Fuinjutsu, Weapons of all kindWeaknesses: Dojutsu, Crystal release, Ice Release, Metal ReleaseRival clans: None
Allied clans: None
Tremere's Hierarchy and Ranks
The Tremere created a pyramid like hierarchy. The clan can only be sustained if everyone works together, and even at the lowest rank, an out of place block can weaken the entire structure. Respect for the structure is expected to be maintained at all times, and the clan is quick to punish those who behave to weaken the structure.
An apprentice is sometimes called a
neonate, and are the lowest blocks in the pyramid. A newly created apprentice is forced to drink the blood of his sire. The new vampire should be immediately taken to a temple and given a special mixture of vitae that is said to be comprised of the blood of the seven inner council members, as well as that of Tremere himself. This ritual symbolizes the bond between the apprentice and his sire, as well as his loyalty to the clan. The apprentice is bound to follow the mandate of their
Acolyte, the head of the temple they were inducted into. This temple is normally the one located closest to the new member's home.
All apprentices are expected to show respect towards any of higher rank or circle, and are quickly educated if they do otherwise.As all ranks, the apprentice rank has seven
Circles of Mystery. As they progress, they gain more freedom and influence. As a first circle apprentice, one is required to meet with his or her elder in the temple once a week. Seventh circle apprentices are more or less independent. At the seventh circle, those who dwell mainly within the temple have nearly as much influence as the Acolyte himself.
An apprentice who has reached the seventh Circle of Mystery can apply to become a Acolyte. A Acolyte is one who rules over a single temple. They are responsible for the activities of all apprentices who are within its province, or the area surrounding the temple.
Each hidden village has two temples, and hundreds more lie all throughout the world. A Acolyte is required to meet once a year with their Lord at the Lord's Temple.
A Acolyte who has reached the seventh Circle of Mystery can apply to become a Lord. A lord is sometimes referred to as a High Acolyte,
as they control about a half dozen temples in a general area referred to as a Realm. Each country contains about 4 Realms, each ruled by a Lord. While a Lord is very frequently in contact with his or her superior, a Lord is required to meet with the Councilor every three years at the Councilor's temple.
The Inner Council of Seven is made up of the oldest vampires. Among them are seven of the original eight that Tremere embraced. These do not rule individual areas, but instead control the whole of the clan as a council.
These seven are responsible for pointing the direction the clan will take, and drafting the exact plans that will guide the clan to that goal. There is a rumor that each member of the
council is in constant telepathic communication with the other members, but this is unknown. The Inner Council of Seven formally meets every ten years in the ancient
Tremere Sanctum of Erebus, located in one of the least populated areas of
Morigakure.

Tremere EmbraceOne joins through a process called Embracing. This is a crude and often painful method of
blood transfusion. During the embracing process, the new member's blood is mixed with that of his sire and of the Council. This new blood is what actually gives the clan members their power.
This process is going to be done through the battle in-game.
