Vampire: the Masquerade - Banu Haqim Pt. 1 (Lore)

(I reuploaded this video after removing a phrasing I only caught when watching the premiere today. It was unfortunate and I wasn't aware of its connotations until yesterday, my apologies)

The Banu Haqim, known in the west sometiimes by their disparaging nickname of "Assamites", are the heirs of Haqim, the Judge of all Cainites.

They carry out justice and mete out punishment over all their sibling clans, tasked to do so by an ancient pact between their founder and the other Antediluvians. Yet this pact has soured, and many of the Children of Haqim have lost their ways or fallen victims of the same Jyhad that occupies the minds of so many Cainites.

Will they be able to return to their calling under the guidance of the Black Shepherd, or are they now more lost than ever?

It is my firm belief that the violence and punitive measures employed against the African-American community of the United States of America, and of people of color across the world, has caused untold damage, is unjust, disproportionate and should be condemned. George Floyd and so many more people murdered by law enforcement officers must have justice.

If you want to help support the movement for change, I strongly suggest you go to https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ to see what you can do to help and stand in solidarity with this movement.

If you want to donate to a good cause, there are many links there, and the link in my video, https://bit.ly/36SDWzf, leads to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's Legal Defense and Education Fund.
