Cults of the Blood Gods, on the other hand, felt more to me like a vehicle for delivering the Hecata. Cults of the Blood Gods addresses that, and introduces the Hecata to V5.Īs much as folks wanted to get the Lasombra, Chicago by Night felt first and foremost like a city book, and I talked about it as a city book first. Since then, we’ve mostly gotten detail on the cult of Mithras, which showed up a little bit in Milwaukee and a lot in The Fall of London – but even all that lacked clarity, as it seems like the cult of Mithras is both more widespread than ever and at the same time has probably died (again) at the hands of the Second Inquisition and his cult had to abandon its primary stronghold. The V5 launch titles presented faith/religion/cults (especially Methuselah cults) as somehow more of a thing in the Camarilla than it used to be, but even adding in the Camarilla supplement there was a distinct lack of clarity about how this worked or what it meant. On the heels of the excellent Chicago by Night which, among other things, introduced the Lasombra to V5, Onyx Path Publishing moved on to Cults of the Blood Gods which, among other things, introduces the Hecata to V5.
