The Court

The Court
Following the vacuum of the ‘days of plague’, the cities of the New England remain free of recognised power structures. In time the power hungry nature of kindred, and the dance of the nightly requiem, are sure to form them again. In the mean time Kindred entering the region do so without the shelter of established courts, patrons, and the protection of their familiar structures.

  • The pack comprises of two or more former Princes

History

There are many strange places in the New England, many places that Kindred do go and should not go, but with the demise of the old power system these strange powers are no longer off-bounds. It will not be long before things better left alone are disturbed.

For a full history go to New England Domain History

Below is a summary:

Establishment

1872-1964: The Triumvirate, a trio of Sanctified Kindred, establish their praxis in the region; drawn by a place they considered to be a 'blessed site', declare their domain off limits to Ordo Dracul and Circle of the Crone, and employ enforcer, Francis Jakes to destroy trespasses.

1988-1996: Joseph Whitechurch arrives. The first of the Triumvirate fall into Torpor. Whitechurch strikes deal with the Ordo Dracul and Circle of the Crone. The rest of the Triumvirate disappear. Joseph Whitechurch claims Praxis, with support of the Circle of the Crone and the Ordo Dracul. Lovely Joan retains the position of Enforcer.
