Revelations of the Dark Mother

Revelations of the Dark Mother is a fictional book written in a similar style to the Book of Nod for White Wolf, Inc.'s Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game. The Revelations of the Dark Mother was printed for use as a prop in the game and for inspiration for story-tellers.



The book represents a collection of the writings of a follower of Lilith, one Rachel Dolium. Her sire wished to obtain a copy of the Cycle of Lilith, a work referenced in the Book of Nod. She succeeded after a fashion, becoming a Bahari (one of the vampiric followers of Lilith) and immersing herself in the cults of Lilith. Rachel maintains that no such book as the Cycle of Lilith exists and that the lore of Lilith is carried verbally, oral traditions passed down through the generations by the Bahari & the Lilitu (the all encompassing cult of Lilith, including mortals, Bahari and even stranger creatures.) The Bahari & Lilitu are described as seeking to emulate Lilith, by seeking to explore the depths of Passion, Pain, Ecstasy and other emotions in emulation of the Dark Mother.



The Revelations of the Dark Mother tells of Lilith's creation and subsequent exile from Eden, and her relationship with Lucifer. One of the reasons he was exiled himself is that he gave his cloak of the night to Lilith to hide her from God. Lilith taught Caine the various things now known as disciplines to the kindred.
