The Vedma are a bloodline of mysterious witches occasionally aligned to the Ordo Dracul. While they are typically seen as a Gangrel bloodline, many Vedma claim an older pedigree. Their unusual powers, including the discipline of Zagovny, are said to be the result of ancient, undiluted vitae and even older secrets. Their association with the Ordo Dracul is a practical one: the Ordo wants to know the secrets the Vedma keep, and the Vedma appreciate the respect the Ordo grants them. Not all Vedma are comfortable with this alliance, however, and the majority remain solitary.
