In 1999, as the Red Star appeared large in the sky, an ancient awoke, and the Clan went mad worldwide, engaging in acts of diablerie and destruction; Ravnos in domains turned on each other, their illusion powers out of control. Theorized now to be the 'death throes' of a true Ancient (and many believe, an Antediluvian), the Ravnos Clan tore itself apart, and those known to the majority of Cainite society were all but wiped out. But the Western Ravnos were not all of the Ravnos.
In the east, in India and surrounding areas, the Ravnos continued to exist. Believing themselves to be put on the earth as divine avengers, destined to exterminate demons -- the ''asuratziyya''. Divided into a caste (''jati'') system, the Ravnos of India have lived separate existences from the Western Ravnos, living as tempters of the unrightous unrighteous and pilgrims seeking their divine purpose against the ''asuratziyya''. These Ravnos were just as effected by the Week of Nightmares as their cousins, and the destruction wrought within the Western Ravnos also afflicted the Eastern Ravnos. Unlike their Western cousins, however, the ''jati'' had support systems in place, as the Kindred rulers of the region. And while many died, many more were subdued and kept in torpor until the madness had passed.
Afterwards, some were dispatched into the World, beginning to reintegrate slowly into Cainite society, learning of what had happened and all the changes that came after. And events have brought two of their eldest together, in search of a third, their sister, in order to combat the coming ''asuratziyya' and the fallen ancient, Ravanna. In the past decade, the Eastern Ravnos have begun to organize in a manner unprecedented because of this, and are slowly becoming a more common sight in Cainite society, as their pilgrims and warriors venture out into the world looking for the Lost Sister.
