The All Night Society

Kindred in a City respond to a Prince, who has council from five Elders, each
representing a Clan and holds Court to a representative of each Covenant;
o The Prince employs the Sheriff as a law-keeper, who in turn employs
Hounds to hunt down the troublemakers;
The Elysium is the place where Kindred gather to hear news and mingle far from
humans and its a place where Disciplines, Feeding and violence is forbidden;
All Vampires must abide by the Three Traditions:
o The First Tradition: Masquerade
Do not reveal your true nature to those not of the Blood. Doing so
forfeits your claim to the Blood.
o The Second Tradition: Progeny
Sire another at the peril of both of yourself and your progeny. If
you create a Childe, the weight is yours two bear.
o The Third Tradition: Amaranth
You are forbidden from devouring the heartblood of your
Kindred. If you violate this commandment, the Beast calls to
your own Blood.
The Cacophony permeates the City and who better to interpret it than the
Harpies at the Elysium, for the Cacophony is the undiluted information of the
Kindred existence and passage through the places he haunts;
o Just as Kindred can adopt the manners and ways of the city dwellers
from whom they feed, so too can the people being fed from be
contaminated by the Blood of a Kindred;

The Danse Macabre

The Neonate are the base of the Food Chain, the young ones, the inexperienced
ones the disposable ones;
o The Neonate is still close to its Humanity, still afraid of the things-thatgo-bump-in-the-night, not yet fully aware that it is now one of them;
The Ancilla are the middle of the Chain, the ones who have survived nights of
scavenging for attention on the way up the ladder;
o The Ancilla has shod much of its Humanity on the intrigue game of
Vampire politics, and its place atop the Neonates shows that its a
Wolf world, fuck or be fucked;
The Elder are the top, the ones who might have forgotten more youll ever learn,
and the ones who truly are in command of you, of course;
o The Elders move their strings silently, from the shadows, playing the
great chess board that is Kindred City Politics, arranging events to
happen as mere coincidences but if you are this way up, surely you
know there are no such things as coincidences right?
