Chapter 3: Drakekh

                    Drakekh is an artificial Discipline. Created throught the use of Koldunic Sorcery and upon the basis of a magical mixing of Vitae from diverging clans, this Discipline is both powerful, and full of weaknesses or limitations.

An Artificial Discipline

                    First and foremost, Drakekh is a multi-power Discipline. There is six ways of Drakekh, one per element. Each way has its set of powers, but is similar to the other ways as each power is but a variations of the others of the same level.

Second, Drakekh is costly. Because of the stress suffered by the Cainite body, each Way adds one to the number of Blood Points used by a Cainite to awaken each night. That means a Cainite with two Ways needs 3 Blood Points to awaken, instead of the normal one.

Third, not everyone can learn a Drakekh Way. One must drink the Vitae of a Drakekh whose Element is the Element of the Way wanted. One can't learn Blood Drakekh by ingesting Fire Drakul's Vitae, even if the Fire Drakul knows the Blood Drakekh Discipline. And even this is not enough, as one needs a teacher.

Last but not least, one can't learn a Drakekh Way whose Element is opposed to the Element of the already known Ways. A Cainite who has Water Drakekh won't be able to learn Fire Drakekh.

The Drakul (Founder of the Bloodline)

                    So great was the ego of the creature it chose to appropriate the Bloodline name's as it's. The Drakul Was, at first, 5 Koldun sorcerers who used material components as diverse as Gargoyles (and Gargoyle Vitae), Revenants and other Vicissitude-based additions to their rituals.

In 1180, the Drakul was the only one who knows the exact rituals to creature one such as itself. But its ego was such (again!) he'd never teach it to anyone. Its problems lied elsewhere, anyway: The apparent sterility of the Bloodline, and its inability to create more than the already existing six Drakovis was a total mystery to it.

Too late would it understand...

The Drakovis (Dragon Lords and Ladies)

                    Only six were known to exist at one time. Their Embrace was peculiar, as they spent one year bewteen the raging elemental bowels of their draconic sire and the ''confortable'' egg in which they achieved their developpement.

Of all the Drakul, they were those whose mind suffered the most. Most of them did not remember anything before their ''second birth'', and it was known that some suffered from mental trauma, like amnesia, megalomania, etc.. But all loved ''The Drakul'' as enforced by the powerful Blood Oath that bonded them to it. Or it was what ''The Drakul'' wanted to believe...

They were the only Drakul who could sire, and only through a Ritual.

The Drakan (Dragon Knights)

                    The Drakan were the shock troops of the Drakul. Before they were able to grow wings (or the Bloodline equivalent), they weren't even considered full Drakuls. At that time, they could take the name Drakan as a title. They were infertile, and were usually Blood Bond to their Sires.
