ThePathofBlood.com is dedicated to sharing my years of experience in leading the Assamites into battle against my fellow V:TES Methuselahs. Contained within is a vast tomb of knowledge and everything you will need to sharpen your playing skills and improve your chances to collect those seemingly elusive victory points. You will find a conglomeration of individual writeups covering a broad range of cards, countless decks and deck ideas, strategy articles, an ever-growing forum dedicated to the Children of Haqim, an exclusive Assamite screensaver and a whole lot more. So whether you're a seasoned elder of the clan or a young inexperienced Fida'i just starting out on the way of life affectionately called the Path of Blood, this site is for you.
Due to a variety of reasons, the Assamites have always been one of the most challenging clans to play in V:TES. Hopefully, you will be able to turn the information found within these pages into a lethal weapon to be used against those whom dare to stand in our way. Let your blades strike true and the blood that flows in the streets serve as tidings of war to all of the nonbelievers.
Welcome, my brother...
A Cult of Killers...
To all appearances, the Assamites are a clan of Arabian assassins, willing to
work for any who can pay their price in coin, boon and primarily, the blood of
those who hire them. They come, they kill, and they vanish into the night,
leaving nothing more behind but the ashes of their prey. [from page
88 of Vampire: Victorian Age]
The clans of Caine have only recently seen the true face of Clan Assamite. Once
assumed to be mere assassins, the Assamites have thrown off the Camarilla's
debilitating curse and their mantle of silence. A diverse clan of noble
warriors, erudite scholars, learned sorcerers and murderous diablerists, the
Assamites have stepped forth to claim their legacy in the Final Nights.

V:TES (which stands for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle) is a fascinating mature
collectible card game that has evolved over 17 expansion card sets. V:TES was originally produced by
Wizards of the Coast in 1994 and since early 2000 by White Wolf. If you are unfamiliar
with the game or the growing community of fanatical players, I would suggest that you
take a moment and check out the V:TES homepage
at White Wolf.
