Within the dimly illuminated chamber, I, Dominic Lastchance, The Sabbat Regent, sat in solemn contemplation. The air hung heavy with anticipation, as flickering torches cast elongated shadows upon the ancient stone walls. Restless, I awaited the arrival of my informants, who bore tidings that would shape the very fabric of our existence.

As they entered, their voices hushed and anxious, I gestured for them to speak. Their words held a weight of urgency, whispering of a sorceress who, feeling disrespected by Cardinal Sascha Vykos's audacity to challenge her, had cast a curse upon her. It was not due to any cloak-and-dagger spying by Sascha herself, but rather her daring to make assertions about the sorceress's own activities.
A surge of anger coursed through my immortal veins, mingling with the profound sadness that pierced my heart. How could this sorceress, a fellow servant of the Darkness, unleash her powers upon Cardinal Vykos for merely asserting her presence and dedication to our cause? Her actions not only violated the unity we hold sacred but also undermined the authority we wield as leaders of the Sabbat.
Yet, as my anger raged, a somber realization settled upon my ancient soul. We had entered an era where the consequences of our actions carried greater weight, where every choice and its aftermath were intertwined. It was a time that demanded careful consideration and measured responses. No longer could we act with impunity, for the consequences of our deeds extended far beyond our immediate intentions.
The frustration that gripped me was twofold. As an elder vampire who had witnessed the ebb and flow of countless civilizations, I grappled with the complexities of this changing world. Words and actions held amplified significance, and we, the devout followers of the Darkness, had a responsibility to navigate this shifting landscape with wisdom and discernment.
Anticipation welled within me, not only for the resolution we sought but also for the lessons this ordeal would impart. The sorceress, motivated by her wounded pride and a desire to maintain control, had overstepped the boundaries of our shared faith. As The Sabbat Regent, it fell upon me to ensure that justice was served, to protect those who embraced our unwavering commitment, and to preserve the delicate equilibrium of our beliefs.
Rising from my seat, a formidable throne carved from the bones of forgotten souls, I summoned my trusted Cardinals and Archbishops. Together, we would deliberate and strategize, blending our righteous anger with the measured resolve required in this new era. Let this tale serve as a reminder to all my brethren in the Sabbat that we stand watchful, ready to hold accountable those who misuse their powers. We possess equal power and ability as servants of the darkness, and we shall not hesitate to exercise it. May we confront this transgression with unwavering unity, resolute in our commitment to reclaim our authority and safeguard the integrity of our sacred beliefs.
