Vancouver

Perpetual rain, neon lights set strikingly against the foggy darkness of night. The city of Vancouver is a moody place, perfect for a group of undead to revel in the nights. From the lights of Granville, to the cold stone streets of Gastown, the undead are spread throughout the city, feeding from the necks of countless easy victims. The vibrant nightlife of the city contrasted with the rain pounding in to every facet of the world around.
A city on the verge of exploding into all out civil war, with many factions vying for superiority. It's a city with a lot of potential for a new coterie to come in and gain a lot of favor with the local factions.

Demographics

History

Vancouver was an independent city under the control of Prince Siegfried. Siegfried had an extremely tight control on the local Kindred population, only rarely allowing Embraces or entry to other Kindred, keeping the population at maximal 20 permanent Kindred. Killing a mortal, even accidentally, is a crime punishable by Final Death. Clan gatherings were forbidden to avoid conspiracies against the prince. Personal feuds were forbidden from influencing nightly activities and all Kindred were under strict instructions to not antagonize the Garou or their families. His absolute rule and the brutal efficiency in which he enforced his laws allowed the Lupines to confront him and negotiate the Covenant, a non-aggression treaty between both races. The Lupines patrolled the borders of his domain, slaying anyone who tried to cross the border. Siegfried has no affiliation to the Sabbat, or the Anarch movement, seeing them all as elements in the Jyhad. The sects left him alone, fearing that any violent intrusion would have resulted in Lupine violence. Siegfried maintained no Primogen council or other offices. The entire city was declared Elysium. Siegfried had a policy of keeping Brujah, Malkavians and Caitiff out of the city, believing them to be unstable and a threat to public order. Only in the company of a Kindred of another Clan were they allowed inside. In secret, his own clanmate, the newcomer Stalest Coursain, plotted to overthrow him by conspiring with Guttooth, a Garou that claimed to be the priest of Gaia, to incite both sides into violence. The foundation of the Diefenbakker’s casino, however, was what would cause the end of coexistence. With the Garou considering the Covenant broken, the future of Vancouver’s vampires hangs in the balance.
Vancouver is also the site of the subterranean Great Library, a conjoint effort of the Nosferatu and the Malkavian Methuselah Necross. In it, multiple scrolls and books covering subjects both mundane and supernatural are stored. Access, however, is restricted and the Library is guarded heavily under thaumaturgical wards and ghouled elite soldiers that act as guardians. Currently the Great Library has become a center for the Nosferatu's information network, with many brokers operating within.
Rumors tell that the Inconnu favour Vancouver as a meeting place when convening in North America.
