In Vampire: The Requiem, the Architects of the Monolith (or "Masons") are a bloodline of the Ventrue clan. Originally formed by the Ventrue elder Ermenjart la Charpentière, a former Lancea Sanctum heretic, the Masons are obsessed with ritualistic geomancy, expressed by their unique Discipline, Gilded Cage (a strange blend of Theban Sorcery and Dragon´s rites). This secretive bloodline have a conspirational mood, and its members mostly join the Ordo Dracul or the Invictus, with few members in the Carthian Movement. * VTR: Bloodlines: The Hidden Image:Bullet-nip.png, p. 30–37
