Principium Vampyri
Overview
This is a Vampire: The Masquerade (5th Edition) chronicle based in the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States and centred around a group of Vampires who are relatively new to the area itself.
The players are brought together by a powerful Hecata Vampire called the Marchese Leonado Sforza-Colloredo and dumped in San Francisco to either sink or swim. He never really makes it clear just why the players are in the city and he has left them to make their own way in the city.
Setting
The chronicle is set in San Francisco a city going through some changes since the military take over by the Camarilla Warlord Karsh in 2017 CE. The whole feel of the city and the San Francisco Bay Area have changed since his coming.
Where once San Francisco was a city where both the Camarilla and Anarchs lived in relative harmony but since the coming of the Warlord Karsh things have changed for some for the worse while for others it has become a city of opportunities.
The Warlord Karsh is enforcing the rule of Camarilla law over The City itself and openly forcing out any Anarchs out and sending out the message that any Anarchs they are not welcome in The City itself any more.
This has raised the tensions between the Camarilla and Anarchs of San Francisco and its region though at the moment it is an undercurrent in the city. But the Warlord Karsh has made it known he would like to expand the control of the Camarilla beyond The City itself into other regions of San Francisco Bay Area.
It is now only a matter of time before the tensions between the Camarilla and the Anarchs of San Francisco Bay Area will get to a breaking point.
Why San Francisco?
It has become a good place for those who want to make a name for themselves either within the Camarilla or the Anarchs because of the growing tension between the two groups.
It has also become a magnet for the Hecata, especially the la Famiglia Giovanni, who have recently brokered a deal with the Warlord Karsh to return to The City again. They have retaken the control of the financial district of San Francisco and the Bank of America based there again as they once did before they were expelled from the city. The Hecata come to the city to take advantage of financial district connections to the national financial systems of the United States.
