=== Nightcomer Track ===
''Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting''
Individuals might begin on this path after an encounter with the otherworldly creature known as Davra, or after being Marked for the Nightcomers, although some individuals might stumble upon it after some kind of exposure to the Pale. As Nightcomers progress in power, they gain fine control over their own bodies and the bodies of others, and the most skilled Nightcomers are known to create strange and powerful constructs of flesh, or even to turn themselves into disconnected collections of limbs and organs moving in unison.
