One reason why the Gangrel are more willing to leave the safety of their havens and cities than other Kindred is that many have the ability to take shelter at any time. Any vampire with more than the basics of Protean can meld her body into the soil to hide from the sun and her enemies. Still, the safety offered by Haven of Soil is fleeting. If a resting place is disturbed, a vampire risks being ripped from the soil and exposed to the light of day.
To minimize the dangers of deliberate or accidental violation of their temporary havens, some gifted Kindred have developed this Devotion. It channels the psychic force of the
Nightmare Discipline into the earth that surrounds a vampire. Whenever someone comes near the Kindred’s resting place, the intruder is plagued by a subconscious sense of gnawing dread. Unless the subject can overcome this ominous instinct, he is forced to turn away and avoid the place altogether.
