Players are expected to create character(s) that could plausibly exist in this setting. Characters require realistic foundations of knowledge. Your characters are not storytellers and do not have the knowledge base of a player. This mystery and paranoia is fundamental to the experience, and no character should 'know it all.' All players should consider their character(s) and what knowledge they would have, what gaps they could deduce, and what would be a blindsiding revelation to find out.
			This applies especially for cross-splat knowledge. As examples, any Kindred is unlikely to be aware of terminology or goals of the Triat(IE: Wyrms desolation, Weaver's stasis). Any garou should have a good reason to have a baseline understanding of Kindred politics, and structure. (IE. Camarilla as an institution, the Sabbat as their ideological enemy, etc) Deeper understanding such as clan stereotypes and minor sect knowledge is extremely unlikely (but not prohibited entirely).
