Lasombra Culture

of Note

The Lasombra revel in the endless struggle for survival and mastery. At least that’s what they say when asked, and what they try to convince themselves they feel. It would be gauche to admit that over the long years, social and physical warfare grow tiresome. It would be far worse to admit that one sometimes admires virtues quite different from those identified publicly with the clan, or that one would prefer not to shoulder the burden of leadership all the time.

Lasombra consensus holds that overly rigid structures turn on their creators. Thus the institutions within the clan operate flexibly and with substantial local autonomy. These informal distinctions are just as deadly earnest as anything chartered and codified, but they are much more lethal for being open to interpretation.

Keeping things loosely defined allows for more dimensions of competition, many more opportunities for the victors to show their superiority.
