Taurobolium is the unique Discipline of the Galloi, a bloodline of the Nosferatu clan of Kindred. The Galloi claim to have originated in the Cult of the goddess Cybele, whose mortal members bathed in the fresh hot blood of a multilated bull during an initiation rite known as the Taurobolium. The vampiric worshippers of Cybele used the blood of mortal humans, and developed the rite into a Discipline allowing them to bathe another in their Vitae, granting the bather blessings from Cybele.
