The Story So Far

New York is a busy city, filled to the brim with Vampires who seek fortune and opportunity. Politics have been quite stale for the past ten years yet  things have happened nonetheless. 

Five years ago the Dracul arrived in force to the City, its Dracul population has been almost non-existent except for the few traders and merchants now and again. Their arrival was significant in terms of New York events of that time, but they have been quiet and busy, showing up only for the occasional Elysium event.

The Revenant have been keeping the Elysium open for the many politically inclined of New York, and the town has been a source for much Clan and personal prosperity, even amongst themselves. Yet tensions haven’t risen high in New York for centuries, not in terms of conflict between the Clans. 

The Nephilim haven’t been hunting mages in New York in a long time, many of the local Nephilim spend their time on other personal matters, despite being in the same city as Clan Ghul. They have their own hotel in town, ready to host the many guests they are about to have. 

The Chupacabra Vampire are newly arrived, the closest major city they have in the Americas lies in Nashville. This is a sign of a growing religion, Vampires from every Clan are slowly beginning to show signs of faith as if the Cult really can cure many, if not all of our vampiric troubles. Though the Chupacabra faith has for a very long time been growing in North America, New York as well.

Clan Ghul have been in New York for almost 70 years, they have maintained that New York is a place for all Clans and that we can find common ground here within the Undying Society. Many old New York vampires have already benefited from the trade and friendship there is to be had with the Society’s own mages.

The Agamemnon have divided themselves across the five boroughs of New York, peace has been stable as long as no one showed up on Elysium at the same time. Luckily they have no reason to congregate in the near future, despite one of them being on trial.

The Trial of Robert Julian Smith

The Agamemnon known as Robert J. Smith has been wanted for several months, after he escaped capture, on the charges of serial Diablerie of several Vampires: Eliza Huntington(Chupacabra), Desmond Jones(Nephilim) and Zhào Huan(Revenant).

The hunt for Robert J. Smith was done by the Arbiter Lewis Wright(Revenant) and couldn’t have been done without the exceptional help of Shannon Key(Ghul) and Clan Ghul.

We wouldn’t have been in this mess to begin with if it wasn’t for the neonate William Blackwood who helped Robert escape the first time around, resulting in the death of both Eliza Huntington and Desmond Jones in their shared apartment. To Williams’ defence, he did claim he was being mentally manipulated; he has been convicted with serving a year in the Elysium Staff.

Arbiter Lewis Wright

Personality Dutiful, Loyal, Stubborn.

The Arbiter of New York City is Lewis Wright, he’s been Arbiter for the past three years, which is a somewhat long term in a tumoultous city, but in New York its not really that long at all. Lewis is a dutiful Arbiter, seldom handling out any unjust punishment. He is known for his tenacity in his duties, not giving up tracking down those guilty, usually spending months on a case till he has rooted out all the facts.

Age Ancillae. Status Highest Standing. Player Kristoffer Post Rindahl Byriel.

Ancillae Robert Julian Smith

Personality Charming, Gregarious and Selfish.

Robert Julian Smith is like most Agamemnon an arrogant selfish Vampire who hates his Clan, unlike the rest of his Clan he is a brash loudmouth who thought that Diablerie could catapult him into a position of control and power. Robert has always been dangerous due to his charms and after being on the run for three months the Arbiter Lewis Wright finally caught up with him.

Age Ancillae. Status Disliked. Player Søren Svarrer.

Zhào Huan

Personality Disciplined, focused and kind.

Huan was a dutiful and always busy Revenant, many knew him as a person of little time and always something to do. Yet despite Clan Revenants best effort to deny it, he was indeed a kind Vampire, never to busy to not help. Many diplomatic situations have been solved in the past through the help of the young Huan.

Age Neonate. Status Prominent, Deceased.

Desmond Jones

Personality Rash, bold and abrasive.

Desmond was not everyones cup of tea, but he did help out his friends whenever they needed him. Like many of his Clan he had slowly but surely put his hunting efforts on the shelf, focusing on things he found more important, like his partner Eliza.

Age Ancillae. Status Commoner, Deceased.

Eliza Huntington

Personality Calm, zealous and friendly.

Eliza came from Nashville to New York in hopes of spreading the word of god. Yet she found more than just followers of the faith but also love and friendship. Eliza orchestrated plenty of parties in the Elysium past, leaving a gap to be filled. Eliza was for many a friendly face in hard times, even though she wouldn’t stop talking about god.

Age Ancillae. Status Commoner, Deceased.
