The Lithopedia discipline is associated with the Csalad bloodline, a rare fief-holding group of Mekhet that are, with few exceptions, trapped in Hungary; it is very uncommon to see one outside the Hungarian borders.
Given the ties which bind the Család to their lands, it is no surprise that the theme of Lithopedia is the pairing of Kindred and the land, similar to the way a blood tie works. Lithopedia is a ritual discipline, meaning that it is learned like Cruac or Theban Sorcery, with more than one ritual per dot; the levels may be purchased at 5x New Dots experience, like all bloodline disciplines, but new rituals retain the cost of 2x New Dots.
This discipline is detailed in Night Horrors Immortal Sinners, as the legacy of the elder Hunyadi Dorján.
