  The World of Darkness
I remember thinking that Evander was over dramatizing it all...that he was trying to frighten me. It didn't work of course...but perhaps I should have heeded his warnings.
He was trying to let me know that the real world was much more frightening than any nightmare I had known.
My teacher had left me to the world and for too long I cried his name hoping he would return.

  Childe (World of Darkness) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mortal human being is turned into a vampire childe by the Embrace, during which the sire sucks all of his/her blood and then gives him/her some of the sire's own blood.
If a childe violates this, the law demands that he be destroyed, and his sire may be punished too.
In order to ensure a measure of obedience, the Tremere childe is forced to drink one sip of blood from each of the seven clan elders, thus coming one step closer to a full blood bond.

 What is the World of Darkness?
At first glance, the World of Darkness sounds like a place out of a science fiction movie or perhaps even some other realm where the lost souls of the damned float forever in the afterlife.
The stories behind all these creatures and the world they live in collectively are called the World of Darkness.
The world of vampires is a constant battle between sects as well as the world at large.

 Darkness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When her sire decides her childe is ready, the fledgling may become a neonate, subject to the prince's approval.
It is now that the childe learns that undead is indeed a curse - despite the power brought by the Embrace, she is no longer entirely herself and must forever be wary of the Hunger that burns inside her.
During a childe's presentation to the prince, she may be required to recite the Traditions as proof that her sire has taught them to her.

 Embrace - World of Darkness Wiki
When a sire chooses to Embrace someone they pass their brand of vampirism to the chosen mortal, cursing them to haunt the night as a nocturnal blood drinker.
The experience is incredibly traumatic as the subject is brought to the brink of death only to be thrown into a nightmarish world unlike anything they've experienced before.
When a vampire desires a childe, due to loneliness, regret at an accidental feeding, the need for a pawn, or any other reason, the first step is to drain the candidate dry.

 Bloodline (World of Darkness) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Vampire: The Requiem, the childe of a member of a bloodline always belongs to that bloodline's parent clan.
A vampire can only join bloodlines that split off from her own clan, but she is not limited to her sire's bloodline if her sire belongs to one.
In Vampire: The Masquerade the childe of a vampire who belongs to a bloodline will always belong to the same bloodline as her sire, and there's no set way to change one's lineage.

 Vampire - White Wolf
World of Darkness vampires are not affected by garlic, silver or the like, and usually cannot be appeased with offerings (as in some traditions).
In the old World of Darkness (as depicted in Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Dark Ages), vampires descend from Caine, the first murderer, cursed by God.
With each subsequent Embrace, the childe is in a higher generation, and the standard generation in the modern setting is the 13th (thirteen steps removed from Caine).

 Andre Gunder Frank, World System History
To read the histories of particular world regions and/or "civilizations" as interrelated processes of a single unified, albeit diverse, stream of world history offers a powerful antidote to Eurocentric or Western-centric distortions of history, which are as nearsighted as they are widespread.
World system and international relations literature has recently produced many good analyses of alternation between hegemonic leadership and rivalry for hegemony in the world system since 1492, for instance by Wallerstein (1984), or since 1494 by Modelski (1987) and by Modelski and Thompson (1988).
Not unlike the "Third World" economies of Latin America and Africa, the "second world" economies of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were unable to bear the pace of accelerated competition in the world economy during this period of crisis.

 THE BOOK of NOD
On the fourth Day, the Dark Ones, [6] who in yore had moved upon the face of the waters, didst creep forth into the sight of the Shining Ones, and they didst look upon Their faces, [7] and worship them.
But the Beasts of the lower darkness [12] didst conspire and creep in wickedness, and didst whisper into the ears of the Children of Iram that they might be drawn from the Garden and cast down.
This confirms the emnity between the 'Dark Ones' and the 'Beasts of the Depths', although whether it predates the arrival of the Elohim cannot be inferred from the text.

Being an only child, my parents were able to afford sending me to the state university of Budapest, where, somewhat against the wishes of my father, I studied painting for five years.

 Wonderland - Foreword
In ancient times, when the world was young and magic thrived, Ariel was a forest nymph, a seductive elfin creature who kept to her woods and streams, occasionally ensnaring mortal men and women for her own pleasures.
Eventually, it was this fascination with humans which led Ariel out into the wider world, and over the course of millennia, she gradually evolved beyond her fey origins to become a wandering bard, a fearless explorer, and a knight of the Sidhe-dominated Fae courts.
Yet it's also a world of strange, dark beauty, where miracles and magic are always there to be discovered in the dust, and where the courtly elegance of bygone ages lives on with solemn grace.

 Some Notes on New York City....   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Sure, the City shut down a number of small places and XXX stores, but things like Show World and Peepland are still in the game, larger than life, competing with Disney for their little share of Times Square....
In fact, that might be a good way to think of the New York City of the Blood and Darkness Chronicle: it's a New York City that never moved out of the crime and degradation of the seventies and eighties.

 The Richard Wilbur Forum
I find Wilbur’s “Beowulf” interestingly ambivalent about the expulsion of the child, and perhaps this doubleness is reflected in the poem’s doubled structure, in which the child’s defeat by Beowulf occurs at the poem’s exact midpoint.
On the one hand, from a Romantic perspective, the defeat and expulsion of the child by the mature hero may represent a loss of freshness, vitality, and imagination.
I think that Wilbur implies that heroism of the type exhibited by Beowulf in his poem is ultimately a form of self-destruction (though it may masquerade as self-sacrifice), because, on balance, the expulsion of the child/defeat of the monster leads to diminishment.
