OOC NOTE: It would be wrong to produce The Book Of Nod here in full. It is copyrighted material. Assume however that Top's researches have come up with something similar to the DeLaurent translation. What follows are the differences, notes and variations to some phrases dependent on sect/source. Consider this section to reasonably closely match the deLaurent translation but to bend more heavily towards Anarch/Sabbat thinking.

Consider Top to have the deLaurant translation (or something similar)

A version with the differences stated below.

And his own version, which falls somewhere between with the following differences... It names the Antediluvians by well researched names. The section on Commands in the Chronicle of Shadows omits the "Eldests among you as lord" and "Honour always your sire". It leans towards the Sabbat version but stops short of diablerie and includes both categories in those who will be punished at Cain's return.

The Chronicle Of Cain

Sabbat Variations

"In Nod, where the lights of the liar's paradise lit up the sky."

"...the first part of all my joy, and what greater joy can there be than brotherhood?"

"...the sweetest grass, the best of my labours. Those that gave me joy."

"...the sweetest of his animals. Those that gace him joy."

"....my sacrifice was deemed unworthy, the blood of Abel's gift sweeter to the one above."

"...my brother. What greater sacrifice could I give? What more could be asked?"

"....I am Lilith. And so I fell in with she who also knew the cruelty of The One."

"...as your thrall. Which I was the The One and my father."

Insert: "For I gave the greatest sacrifice, that which I was asked for." after each denial and cursing by the angels.

Replace: "Not by Abels forgiveness..." with : "Abel knows my sacrifice, does not The One?"

"...for your health. And, even though the love was false and wrong, Cain felt it and knew its power."

".....those near him. And later he came to understand not to follow the council of demons."

"....stay your dread embrace.And Cain turned to Uriel in wrath and spoke. "My jealous seed? I gave all I could to The One, what more can be expected? You may heap curses upon me but my children will feel the truth in their blood and will not betray me."

"...and Cain's word was, is and shall be the law."

"...children of Seth. And he saw the unjust curses coming true."

"...the children slew their parents. The third killing those chosen by Cain to recieve his love."

The Chronicle of Shadows

Sabbat Variations

"Thou shalt not make progeny against my will, you shall make them to serve my will..."

"Only through me will you come awake to your power. Through me. Through the blood."

The passage "Thou shalt not suffer your Childe..." is missing the part about hearts blood.

"...we must not allow their worship, though we be as gods unto them."

",,,,through me, all chains are broken, all shackles are shattered. My blood flows in you all."

"...slay thy sire and drink his hearts blood, those who break my law, those who serve the slayers of my childer may be taken."

"...thou shalt hold me above all others, I am the eldest, your only lord."

"...thou shalt honour the domains and houses of the strong."

"....seek not the blood of thine own sire, seek the blood of the traitor."

The Chronicle Of Secrets

Sabbat Variations

"...they will consume us whole, unless we fight and live by Cain's word."

"...basalt throne. And we will come. In great numbers, to stand with him against his grandchilder."

"...For their crimes are to great, and those who have served the traitors, those who have crushed the souls and freedom of others shall be destroyed."

"...You will know these times..." (Section on black hand missing).
