Of Alamut

“What is there to say about our home we may very well never see again? I have heard stories of childer being created in the final nights who have not known its glory. I fear in the time to come we shall forget what Alamut was and is.

Our clan has always been one that has been in need of a home. Even Alamut was created by Haqim himself to shelter us and give a place to which we could call our own. Many believe that the Eagle’s Nest was modeled after the Hashashin castle of the same name. I find it far more likely that Alamut is the Eagle’s Nest’s most recent name, one that reflects the power Islam had over our clan.

In my time, I have seen not one but two Alamuts. The one the foolish Camarilla believe they found was simply a far more recent creation and house of the clan. It seems somewhere along the line the original Alamut was abandoned by the clan. Why, I do not know. But when the curse of the Usurpers came upon us we found her once again, and returned home.

Words cannot do justice to the glory of Alamut. Her halls could house the entire clan. The greatest resources, history, and defenses a Kindred could imagine. It was with great pain many of us left knowing we may never see her again.

While the loss of sacred Alamut as our home has saddened many of us, know this. Alamut is in your heart. It is not just a place. Alamut is more than that. Alamut is who you are. Never forget that and we shall never truly have left her.”
