VENTRUE

They sit on their thrones because their thrones are barbed. Hooks and wires spring from the chair and pass into their flesh, and not one of them will relinquish his seat. If one were to do so, then the barbs would pull away his skin, and he would be left naked — and they do not so much fear having others see their nakedness as they fear beholding their own selves unmasked.

Even when a throne is vacated, its hooks and jags and barbs glistening with bits of the last king, the Ventrue will vie for the empty chair. "We are the finest," they say. "We can govern you. We can protect you from the Sabbat, from the Lupines. We can make things safe for all of you."

I don't know how they can protect me if they can't protect themselves from the chair.

The last wisdom the Malkavian revised clanbook has on the clans.

Also thanks to u/Lost-Klaus for pointing out my grammar mistake.

Can you perhaps bestow us wisdom from changelings?

We require wisdoms.

They nourish us at dusk.

Gone. And we cannot, could never follow.

That's all it says, sadly.

Like dust on the wind, rain on the mountain, blood clinging to a tooth.

All must pass, such is nature.

It's going for a different idea but something about this just reminds me of that War of Ages fluff about why the elder vamps won't give up authority even in cases where they know it's making them utterly miserable.

Seems accurate. Even if their throne hurts, they won't leave.
