Time Of Thin Blood
In the role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade by White Wolf, Inc., The Time of Thin Blood is the time immediately preceding Gehenna, the vampires' prophesied armageddon.
Named in reference to a line of the Book of Nod, referring to one of the signs of the end times being The Time of Thin Blood - when the curse of Caine would no longer carry the strength to create new vampires, when the clanless would come to rule and Vitae would be as rare diamonds.
Most Cainite authorities agree that the current age is the Time of Thin Blood, and that judgement of the Cainites has come due.
