Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Clan Tremere's complex pyramid-like hierarchy is divided into several distinct steps. To which rank do bound Gargoyles, ghouls, and other non-Tremere servants belong?

Answer: None. Non-Tremere are not considered part of the Pyramid.

While many house rules include the minions and servants of the Clan in a seventh tier of the pyramid known as "Acolyte," this practice is largely to allow players the chance to participate (somewhat) in the structure of the Clan, and have no precedent in published genre canon.
2. There is, hidden in clan Tremere, a multitude of occult Houses, each devoted to some unique facet of mysticism. Which House contains members most likely to search for hidden meaning within the Talmud and Tanakh?

Answer: House Hashem

House Hashem is known within the Clan to contain practitioners of Kaballah, a form of Hebrew magic rooted in the Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim. The Talmud is a written record of immensely important rabbinical law.

House Trismegistus is focuses on numerology, House Rodolfo on clairvoyance, and House Goratrix is the House to which the now decimated Tremere Antitribu belonged.
3. Clan Tremere is best known among other Clans for its horrifying sorcerous abilities and arcane rituals. Which ritual creates a be-legged wooden creature, capable of tracking down a Kindred and immobilizing her?

Answer: Splinter Servant

The Splinter Servant is created from the branch of a tree that has been nourished by the dead, and can be commanded to attack any Kindred the wielder chooses. It will pursue the target until it is within striking range, and will then viciously worm its way inside its victim's chest cavity until the heart is pierced.
4. The members of House Tremere did not begin their prestigious magical careers as Kindred. In fact, it was only after the House had begun to die out that the path of Vampirism was even considered. What was the initial reaction of House Tremere's leadership to the proposed perdition?

Answer: Etrius, Tremere's most trusted advisor, argued against the idea.

After Goratrix stole the curse of Caine for himself and forced it onto some of his followers, he returned to House Tremere to show what he had done. While the majority of the leaders considered the move necessary to protect the House's dwindling numbers, Etrius thought it rash and dangerous. Eventually, he was swayed by his own desire to stay alive.
5. Initially, Goratrix did not develop his potion with the intent of inducing Vampirism. Instead, he attempted to grant members of House Tremere immortality without the side effects of Caine's Curse. With which two clans did Goratrix collaborate during his studies?

Answer: Tzimisce and Gangrel

Goratrix captured various Tzimisce and Gangrel and conducted vicious experiments on them to discover the key ingredients of his potion.
6. Before the establishment of what is now known as the Pyramid, Tremere and his trusted advisors ruled over the Clan. Eventually, the burgeoning bloodline spread so far from its initial home place that its outer reaches could no longer be effectively managed. What office was created to fill in these gaps?

Answer: Pontifex

Tremere's advisors, known as the Council of Seven, created Pontifices to manage vast territories for them. In turn, each council member would preside over seven Pontifices, exacting Tremere's will and guidance through them and into the domain of regional Lords.
7. Before Clan Tremere was a staple of White Wolf's flagship, the Mysterious House Tremere belonged to the Order of Hermes, a cabal of wizards in which canonically unrelated setting?

Answer: Ars Magica, Lion Rampant Games

Before White Wolf Game Studios dominated the business of RPG creation, White Wolf Magazine reported the particulars of gaming news. In 1991, Lion Rampant and White Wolf Magazine joined together to publish "Ars Magica." The first several editions of "Vampire" and "Ars Magica" shared a continuity until eventually, the fledgeling Lion Rampant was purchased by Wizards of the Coast. Currently, Atlas Games owns the rights to "Ars Magica," which still uses the original incarnation of Tremere.
8. The mind of a centuries-old Tremere is steeped in occult lore and arcane secrets so deeply that no mortal, nor indeed the majority of Kindred, are able to even play at comprehension. Unfortunately, such complete immersion in ancient enigma can be rather unbalancing on the mind, and some mature Usurpers inevitably begin to show symptoms of such stress. Which derangement is indicated by sudden outbursts of dead and cryptic magical language?

Answer: Thaumaturgical Glossolalia

Described as "speaking in tongues," Thaumaturgical Glossolalia affects certain Tremere by inducing a sort of fevered fury during which they Kindred is capable of speech only in cryptic phrases rife with the symbology of blood magic. After the attack, the Tremere most often returns to his faculties, unable to translate the vocal barrage he has just unleashed.
9. The Tremere, while ostensibly solid members of the Camarilla, are nonetheless feared and reviled among other clans. This is largely due to the fact that their terrible mystic power is rumored to be capable of destroying Kindred with almost no potential for evasion or recourse. Which of the following rituals (often banned in Chronicle House Rules) is infamous for its brutal and efficient lethality?

Answer: Night of the Red Heart

Along with Chill of the Wind Saber, Night of the Red Heart is among Thaumaturgy's deadliest rituals. Requiring a sample of the victim's blood and an effigy of bone, the initiation of Night of the Red Dawn immediately fills the target with foreboding and an unmistakable sense of doom. Should the Kindred ignore the urge to flee and remain within range of the caster, he will suddenly dissolve into ash at dawn.
10. The Tremere are notoriously stingy with their blood, dispensing it only after intense consideration and observation. Often, embraces are punctuated by furtherance of political agenda and Machiavellian dealings. Which of the following groups is currently considered an official Tremere Bloodline?

Answer: Gargoyle

Gargoyles, the horrid bastardizations of flesh and stone, are considered the only viable Tremere Bloodline still in existence. The Telyavelics were destroyed during the Dark Ages, the Tremere antitribu met their end in Mexico City in recent nights. The Krevcheski family is a group of Revenants held by prestigious members of the clan.
