London Rising

A World of Darkness 5th Edition (Paradox) game In the world of London by Night
| Full
The Queen is dead. There is no more Court, no Elysium, and no one is quite sure where Mithras has disappeared off to. Not many even know of his involvement in this affair. It is possible that some of you do, if only from whispers and rumours, though none of you know the full story. What you know for sure is that things have changed dramatically, and that London - or even the UK - will never quite be the same.

This story is told by

Supporting Cast
  • Adrian Bolton
    The favoured heir of Henry Miers, Adrian has recently graduated as a neonate in the Court of London.
  • Regent Alaric Thyme
    The charismatic Regent of the London chapter of the Tremere Chantry, Mr. Thyme has cultivated a favourable relationship in a time of unfavourable views for his Clan. Of House Tremere and respectable generation, he has been a staple of London for the past 30 years.
  • Ambrose Clemens
    Under the gentle smiles and welcoming attitude lies the subtle cunning of an established Setite in a city unwelcoming of his kind. He is the head of a coterie called the Bookhounds, specialised in the trade and procurement of esoteric materials and, as the name says, rare and dangerous books.
  • Beatrice Price
    A Patron of the arts in the truest sense of the word, Beatrice Price has been a staple of London for as long as anyone can remember. An oddity of a reclusive Toreador, she spends her time collecting knowledge and misfits, with her only public appearances being rare outings at Elysium.
  • Landlord Henry Miers
    A Ventrue Landlord of modest generation who claims to be of Mithras’s lineage (although not affiliated with the Mysteries). Miers believes that he has the right to inherit the entirety of the domain, and that the title of Prince of London should be reinstated.
  • Rose Abawi
    Fledgling Harpy of the Court of London, her sire is the famous Regina Blake, Keeper of Elysium and favoured Toreador.
  • Landlord Rowena
    A Gangrel warrior originally from Ireland, Rowena is a staunch supporter of the Camarilla and a firm believer in its Traditions. Her unusual methods are usually forgiven by Queen Anne, but often put her at odds with her fellow Sheriffs.
  • Sibel Çelik
    Tzimisce hiding in the underground tunnels of London.
  • Theodora Summers
    A recently turned Toreador working as a seamstress, she moonlights as a rich heiress in order to gain access to gossip and wealth. Interestingly enough, she is known to be quite close to the deputy of acting Sheriff Rowena.
  • Vivian Hastings
    A recent childe of Henry Miers, she has been introduced to the Court as the true heir to the English Throne. Hailing from the line of Edwards IV's brother, Miers wastes no time to make everyone aware of her royal roots. Even so, few people know where she came from.
