Clan Tremere are vampiric warlocks, masters of rituals of Blood Sorcery. Their powers make them arrogant and deadly, and they always lust for more occult lore.

Production update October 1st, 2019

Dear Community,

Our printing partner Cartamundi have indicated that it was a printing issue with the First Blood: Ventrue decks (both English and Spanish versions). 21 of the 56 cards are misprinted. Text is somewhat misaligned and the colour can be slightly off. Although the cards are readable and functional, replacement products will be printed. These ship late October to distributors and retailers who ordered the original print run.

Note: These problems only appear in the Ventrue decks, not the other First Blood decks.

Thank you,
Black Chantry Productions
