Lilithkkuaia

The Lilithkkuaia are a bloodline of the Tziukkuaia clan, founded reportedly by a rumored descendant and high priestess of the Dark Mother, a feminine figure found in heretical folklore that prophecies disastrous events and plagues.

History
The Lilithkkuaia are a bloodline devoted to defending Clan Tziukkuaia, though originally they were a group of death cultists that claimed to be descended from the Dark Mother, and their high priestess was rumored to be a direct daughter of their "Dark Mother". According to legend, an Tziukkuaia elder found her performing sacred rites to the Dark Mother. Impressed by her skill and perhaps taken with her fierce beauty, he sired the high priestess.

While her body changed, she was said to have given her a vision; a deep understanding of her future and that of the Tziukkuaia. When she recovered, she whispered something in her sire's ear, and the elder fled in terror.

She did find her way back to the clan, though, and her bloodline became the guardians of the Tziukkuaia, serving the clan as their warriors and bodyguards. They were never very numerous, but important Tziukkuaia often had at least one Lilithkkuaia standing at their side. The Lilithkkuaia learned to feed sparingly, since their bite carried a virulent strain of disease, and developed their own path of necromancy. Over the centuries, they became an important resource for the Tziukkuaia. And yet, behind their loyalty was perhaps a greater dedication to the Dark Mother and to their leader's vision.

Organization
The Lilithkkuaia were a death cult, still practicing their dark rituals and devoutly spreading the teachings and disease of the Dark Mother. While men were sometimes turned, women were seen as closer to their matron and had a much greater influence over the bloodline.
