As Prague descends into chaos, our coterie meets a mysterious group of northern Kindred—dragon-blooded warriors with names like Sigvard Drekarson and Thora Skýrdreki. With the elder Elysium under siege, the group chooses to flee with their new allies, heading toward Lithuania aboard a Viking vessel.

But peace is short-lived. An ambush by Crusaders erupts in violence, and amid the masquerade-breaking battle, a new figure emerges—Greg, a wandering Tremere with a haunted aura and secrets buried in his blood. As the coterie sails not on water, but over land by magic, they unravel more about Greg's strange past, his connection to the Salubri, and his dangerous knowledge of the Setite bloodline—mockingly dubbed the "Cult of the Anteater."
