When the Cohorts switch decks the Grave Keeper puts one card from the Beguiling Whispers deck in front of each Cohort. Each card includes a short narrative text in the voice of a Prime Vampire to provide context for the card’s effects. These texts are intentionally manipulative and toxic, as befits a creature as monstrous as the Prime Vampire. The card grants a boon to the Vampire who claims it but also create a point of tension with another Vampire. A 6x9in keepsake journal, Liber Generis Sui is perfect for recording A PC vampire's musings. PCs write to share events, experiences and artifacts with fellow vampires to illustrate a PC’s evolving history. Interactive elements, illustrations, and phrases on the journal’s pages are there to further inspire the PC’s creations. Maps in the journal share unique examples of the varied ways people have charted their locations and journeys. The journal becomes a unique record of each vampire’s personal journey.
