===Third Generation: Antediluvians===
The founders of the 13 vampire clans, the Antediluvians, somehow brought about the biblical flood â€“ or were its target. Their bloodlines continue to shape the Kindred to this night, even as the plots they set into motion millennia ago still drive the endless Jyhad of vampire-kind. For the last thousand years, many Kindred assumed the Antediluvians were asleep; only a few believed they continued their struggle in subterfuge, conspiracy, and guile deep behind the scenes even of secret history. The Camarilla insisted the Antediluvians were long-dead, or even mythical, until the Sabbat forced their hand. The Sabbat at least seeks to end the Jyhad. The Sword of Caine declared war on the Antediluvians in the name of the frst vampire, unleashing Gehenna and slowly rousing the Third Generation from their torpid retreat in primordial labyrinths and passage-tombs. The Antediluvians now call their descendants to their defense, sounding a clamor in the Blood that younger vampires term the Beckoning.
