The Capps. have been long forgotten because of the Giovionni. This clan book gives a great insite into this lost clan. Their powers aren't described very well but thats because no one knows any of them to find out what thier powers are. This book was written as more of a information tool for the capps rather than as a source for their powers. If you want to find out about the downfall of the capps get the transylvania chronicles and go through that and you will find out what happened.

As per usual, White Wolf keeps us intrigued with it's World of Darkness (even if they have discontinued this particular line). I especially enjoyed the mention of the Giovanni Bloodline, and what happened to the Cappadocians in the modern nights.

I don't know if there is a revised book out yet, but I do know that the Cappadocians are back and mad. They are the Harbingers of Skulls, in the revised vamp paradigm. They always rocked and now they are even cooler. But I don't know if they have their old Necromancy powers or not. They use to be able to remove a vampire from torpor, an awsome feat for any vamp.

I think I'll wait for the revised but I wouldn't mind having this one either for historical information on them.

This book is great for all Cappadocian players. It has the new discipline Necromancy and the Cappadocian's own road the Road of Bones. It tells the history of the Cappadocians, from the first days of Cappadociaus to the last days when the Giovanni killed them all.

I agree with what was spoken above by another reader. Information on the Lamia was woefully lacking, as was information on the Road of the Bones. I understand how the Lamia were sort of just meant as parsley garnish to the Cappadocian story, but there were gaps you could drive a thousand thousand semis through.

It had a good base, and I liked the tragic foreshadowing. But it just left me wanting more definitive details than were being provided.

The writing and the stories of this book is great. But after reading everything it leaves you to wonder and want to know more of what happened to the Caps-. It needs to be more elaborate. Its a ok book to start a Cappadocian character.

Good for background info, like all the clanbooks. Don't feel like writing a huge review, the Cappadocians aren't exactly on the top of my list of favorite things to play.
