Toreador Lore 2

Can briefly summarise local Toreador views of other clans in their sect. Would have to do some digging to gain a regional perspective.

May have attended (or even assisted in the hosting of) a Salon.
You have at least heard, in passing, of Legendary Toreador, such as: Rafael de Corazon, one of the Founders of the Camarilla and the "spiritual father" of the Masquerade; and Tannit, the supposed lover of the Brujah Troile who followed him to Carthage.

Knows Toreador specific events and rumours from 1400 to present time, or history of Clan Toreador that spans the character's lifetime, whichever is greater.

Knows the proper etiquette for attending a Grand Salon.
Can name some of the minor houses in Toreador.

Knows Toreador-specific events and rumours from Ancient Greece to present time (does not include Minoan Crete, First City, or Second City).

You are familiar with a number of Toreador-centric legends or myths (such as “the Lovers” of the Second City, the Minotaur and/or the prevalence for rumours regarding famous artists who have been allegedly Embraced within the clan)
