Elijah Ahmed. Childe of Haqim. Blood of his blood of his blood of his blood. Rise Elijah Ahmed. Who gives you life Elijah Ahmed?
Allah gives me life.
Young Allah? Are you certain, Childe of Haqim?
Haqim has stretched my existence, but it was Allah gave me life. He, Allah, is One. Allah, is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten, and none is like Him.
Very Well. In the name of Eldest, I reclaim that which is rightfully his.
Before 1999 the Assamite clan stood united, then in one night that all changed. Haqim had sent his herald, the father of the Assamites had returned. Waking to find the clan he knew drastically changed, Ur-Shulgi quickly went about restoring the clan to its former glory. With a wave of his hand he shattered the Tremere Curse upon the clan. The greatest Magi and Childe of Haqim had no patience for disobedience from Haqim. One by one, Ur-Shulgi summoned the leaders of the Assamite clan asking about their devotion to gods other than Haqim. One by One he slew them until only a handful remained.
In defiance of submission to Haqim, Ur-Shulgi’s Childe planned and executed the escape of the refugees that would become the schism. Many among the loyalists believe that it was Ur-Shulgi’s will alone that allowed them to succeed. With the clan leadership purged of those who were not loyal to Haqim above all else, the Herald had achieved his goal set to him by his sire.
After a decade of rule and largely silence the Loyalists have begun to stir. The Path of Blood has come into a resurgence among the Loyalists and all who follow Haqim are expected to follow it in time. Ur-Shulgi has commanded the Schism is to not be hunted down and destroyed. From what the loyalists gather, the Herald has far more important matters at hand. It seems the clan has been focused on re
starting the war with the Baali above all else. Strikes from Alamut in North Africa have been swift and deadly. It is said the Baali are in full scale regrouping from the assaults from the mountain. For the first time in millennia the Assamites have the Baali on the ropes once again.
For the most part, the loyalists spend their nights in quiet prayer and meditation trying to understand their master Haqim. For them he is a god, their father, and their Eldest. While those who have turned their back on Alamut fear the vengeance of the loyalists it never came. They fear each night when Alamut will finally move against them. The loyalists know better though. Those who have chosen a different path from Haqim but are of the blood shall be left to walk their own paths. Just as Haqim had let the first of the Dispossessed do. They are, however, not above the Judgment of the eldest.
The loyalists also spend much of their time traveling to the domains of vampires across the world. As Independents, they offer their services as hired killers to anyone who can afford the price. While blood is still accepted as a means of payment, the loyalists will accept anything that will benefit the clan. In this way, the Loyalists do not incur the wrath of the other clans for their holy war against their kind, but instead may carry out their holy mission one target at a time. This also allows the loyalists to find Kindred who are worthy of redemption in the eyes of Haqim. The Path of Blood teaches that salvation into Haqim’s grace should be possible for all Kindred. Those the loyalists find worthy and accepting to Haqim, regardless of clan (save the hated Baali and Followers of Set), are brought to Alamut to swear fealty to Haqim.
The loyalists of Alamut believe a radically different tale of their clan founder then most of the rest of the clan. While the schism speaks of Haqim as the Judge of the Enoch appointed by Caine, the Loyalists claim a much darker history then the peaceful Assamites told in that tale. The loyalists tell a tale of Haqim the general who defended his King and Queen from the liar Khayyin. A great man who as a mortal fought Khayyin and his evil. Haqim the great who took the Vampire King and Queen’s blood and became damned to stand against Khayyin and gain vengeance for his fallen liege. In this the Loyalists find their justification for their holy war against all Kindred of the world. In reality though, the clan is of no fools.
To make open war fare among the Get of Khayyin would be suicide for the clan. Instead they play the Jyhad like all others and in turn wage their secret holy war.
In 2016 Haqim returned to the Eagle’s Nest. He has come to guide has wayward children directly once more. Haqim sent missive for all his children to return home once again to him, so they clan may be reunited. All those that do not, are considered Dispossessed as per his original decree on the matter. The Loyalists once again praise Ur-Shulgi for the return of Haqim and spend their nights devoting their faith and obedience to their returned father. For
Haqim has returned then the Loyalists are his personal army ready to act a moment’s notice. Or so that’s the stories the loyalists tell anyways.
