Plotline: -Constantine Gregory: "The Vampire Watcher's Handbook" New Orleans has long been an American mixing pot of different cultures and beliefs. The city has a strong history of voodoo practices, as well as a long-standing reputation as a favourite haunting place of spirits and ghosts. With strong nineteenth-century European influences with African and Caribbean folklore, it's no surprise that it is one of the biggest breeding grounds for Vampyres. As with each Vampyre infested city, there is one ruling coven. Strigoh Morti, ruled over by Phillipe DuPre, are those who have held high regard for ancient tradition. They are an elite class of Kindred with a taste for power, nobility, pride, and greed. But with the old, comes the new. For ten years, a coven of younger Vampyres have banded together right under society's nose, uprooting the Strigoh Mortis' happy existence in the city. These rebels are known to the other Kindred as the Rebelle Mort. With the five year feud between covens still raging, two more oppositions have come into play. Citizens who have opened their minds to the supernatural united and became the Hunters. These formerly normal mortals have worked endlessly to defend their loved ones and their home. Both covens have become aware of the threat of the Hunters and have tried -sometimes in vain- to dispatch them. It wasn't until June of 2004 that a forgotten race appeared in defense of the Hunters, and they are known as the 'Half-bloods'. Dhampyres. With parentage both mortal and Vampyric, these creatures carry the best and worst of both species, but remain the deadliest enemy to the Vampyres ever known. |
