For almost a century, they have infiltrated her lands, slowly poisoning it with their ambition, their greed and their will to reign over all. All with their own dark dreams of a Phoenix guided by their hand for their own purpose.
With the railroads and copper mines came the Invictus, bringing their relentless drive to conquer with their money and influence. The Lancea Sanctum,at once both servants and perversions of God wielding their faith like a hammer draw the faithful into their sphere.Theirs is the world of the rich, beautiful and powerful. They have set the standard for the court and dare others to defy it.
Balancing their power are the Carthians and Crones, each seduced by the lure of freedom and power only to find both curtailed by their old foes, while Ordo Dracul sits by observing all but revaling little of their long term plans. Kindred and Kine continue to be drawn by the promise of the land.
They have vied for power from the inception of the city, through the Cotton and Copper booms, to the rise of the city as a hot spot for tourism with its vast lush golfing greens and crowded night spots, fed by water and money.
This is the world of those who unlives are born in twilight - the constant struggle against the machinations of other kindred and covenants. They waltz in shadows, away from the prying eyes of the kine in the ultimate dance. They are loved and feared. They are the beautiful monsters of the night.
