The Sword of Caine: A V5 Guide to the Sabbat is not the Sabbat found in the Sabbat: The Black Hand that I can't link to becuase it's not available on Storyteller's Vault at this time. This book updates and progresses the Sabbat through the metaplot while holding the sect mostly in tact and providing options for PC. There isn't the whole scale decimation of the sect's organizational structure. This is a sect that has adapted to the events of the metaplot but still manage to funtion. If you've seen a V5 actual play of the Sabbat on Twitch or on YouTube, it's probably closer to how the sect is presnted in this corebook. Given the player focus of this book, it delves into both the lore of the sect and how modern nights have shaped it into what it is tonight. This is not a reboot of prior editions, but an advancement. Disciplines, Loresheets, a guide to replacing Humanity with a Path of Enlightenment, everything you need to make the Sabbat playable is in this book. If you want to to run a V5 game with Sabbat characters, this is the supplement to do it.
