Hearken, ye fledgling vampires, as I, the Sabbat Regent, doth bestow upon thee the ancient secrets of Protean, a discipline of yore. In the depths of this power doth lie the key to unlocking thy true essence, rending asunder the frail veil of humanity thou dost uphold, and revealing the primal beast that resideth within thy very soul.
Protean, a dark gift granted by God's curse upon our progenitor, Caine, doth strip away the guise we wear in society, laying bare the raw power and instinct of the predator that doth dwell within our being. With this discipline, thou shalt transcend the limits of thy mortal form, embracing the prowess and ferocity of nature's predators.
As disciples of Protean, thou shalt learn to shape thy flesh and bone, transforming thy form into a weapon of dread. Unleash feral claws, honed to a razor's edge, capable of rending flesh and splintering bone. Thy physical prowess shall rival that of the most fearsome denizens of the animal kingdom, bestowing upon thee unmatched strength and agility.
But heed my words, young ones, for the discipline of Protean is not easily tamed. As thou dost delve deeper into its mysteries, thou may find thy body shifting and contorting, beyond thine own command. Thy emotions, thy primal urges, shall shape thy physical form, oft leading thee into situations that lay bare thy true nature and vulnerability.
The Gangrel, warriors of the wild, have long embraced Protean as their own, a discipline that grants them survival in untamed lands, sharpening their senses to a keen edge and weaving them closely with the natural world. They become one with the beasts, merging their spirits and instincts.
Yet, Protean's influence extendeth beyond the Gangrel alone. The Followers of Set, dost now employ this discipline to mimic the serpents of old, invoking the ancient power through Protean's embrace. The Tzimisce, masters of Vicissitude, meld Protean with their art of fleshcrafting, twisting their bodies into grotesque and terrifying forms.
As thou dost tread the path of Protean, proceed with caution, for its power is both boon and bane. Embrace thine inner beast, harness its strength, and unleash thy primal instincts. Yet, remember, the way of Protean leadeth to the precipice of savagery, where the line betwixt predator and prey doth blur, and the hunger within doth grow ever stronger.
Take heed, fledglings, for the discipline of Protean is a gateway to thy true nature. Embrace it, wield it, and thou shalt ascend above the feeble constraints of humanity, becoming a creature of power, feared and revered by all who dare cross thy path. For within Protean lies the essence of Sabbat's might, and with it, we shall forge our destiny in the realm of eternal night.
