Clan Cappadocian

Here is one from the Vken forums. The author's named snegiem (I don't know how to hyperlink or tag him or anything) here on the forum. I made it a Cappadocian (opposed to Harbingers of Skulls) card (for obvious reasons ...)

While indeed Constie is Cappadocian in origin, clan doesn't show vampire bloodline but what other vampire believe his bloodline is. Thats why basic Petaniqua is Malkavian, not Baali.

This aside, we already have Cappadocian - they are called Harbringers of Skulls and Samedi. Main line of the clan perished.

I would agree that these have no place in Vampire as it stands! These are more for a dark ages themed set I'd say. Sorry for not being clear about that !

That being said,

HoS, samedi and Capps are totally different, I see some of the lore escapes the uninitiated.
The Cappadocians were/are a clan proper. They have and Antideluvian who was legit 3rd generation.
The HoS and Samedi are tiny, tiny, tiny bloodlines in the wide WoD.

This has been discussed on this forum many many times.
Are !Ventrue and Ventrue the same clan?
HoS ARE NOT CAPPADOCIANS. It is NOT a mutually-exclusive term.
ALL THIS AND MORE IN the new lore of the bloodlines book is going to get cleared that up and I can't wait.

They are thematically and culturally different in every way..

Garinol (a cappadocian and not a hos) is at the bottom of the ocean playing with fishes (V:tDA TbN, p. 68-69), and I doubt he said just gonna wake up and go "Huh, I feel like a harbinger now."
That's not how it worked for Constancia and Unre (spoiler, they aren't the same person, one may just think she is the other!).

There are tons of deceased characters and past events depicted on cards in vtes, i don't see why that's an issue.

I'm not so sure about this.
Harbingers, Nagaraja and, say, kysiad are SOOOOO RARE in the pnp WoD. No Cainite on the street knows those names off the top of their head, unless they remember them from experience.
So, saying a vampire shows the clan that people think she is in is irrelevant. There would be an alternative card for almost every if that were the case.
