Coils of the Dragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coils of the Dragon is a discipline in White Wolfs role-playing game Vampire: The Requiem. It describes the studies that the members of the Ordo Dracul undergo to transcend their vampiric condition. There are three main Coils:
- The Coil of Blood involves bypassing the need to feed as often as other vampires.
- The Coil of Banes concerns ridding the Kindred of his fear of the elemental dangers to the Damned such as the sun and fire.
- The Coil of the Beast is a study dedicated to the Kindred mastering his inner Beast and the frenzies that result when said Beast takes over.
There are two other known Coils that are not as common knowledge as the three main Coils:
- The Coil of Flesh details how a vampire can inspire his flesh to act as it did when he was still alive, making it easier for her to pretend to be human.
- The Coil of the Soul teaches a vampire to resist the wearing down of his mind that often occurs as a vampire becomes less humane over the centuries.
Additionally there are two Apocryphal Coils:
- The Apocryphal Coil of Anoushka's Ladder is accessed only by Kindred with an outstanding Humanity and magnifies the power of a vampire that possesses it.
- The Coil held by the Sworn of Locusts details how a Kindred may diablerize a mortal and thereby take his soul into his own undead body.
