Von Sabot Knight

House von Sabot is the feudal ruler of the city of Luten-Augusburg, but their power extends far beyond the city, even deep into the Unseen. In order to protect their interests, they attract a host of competent knights trained for battle. Because the needs of the von Sabots vary greatly, the knights they employ vary greatly too.

Squires

The least of von Sabot knights, these are people who have some training equal to a knight but who aren't exceptional.

Attributes

Squires have a Prowess of 2, Erudition of 1, and Cleverness of 2.

Traits

Squires will have one of these traits.

Knights

Those who have been knighted in the services of the von Sabots.

Of those who even know of the von Sabot's true nature, many are thralls, but some knights are true vampires themselves. In the latter case, fledgling vampires will have the standard set of vampiric traits. For a Peer vampire, double their listed attributes. An especially formidable Peer, has likely learned a few spells.
