[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- One Sect Falls, Another Rises
- In the wake of the Sabbat's aggressive campaign along the East Coast of the United States, the sect has spread itself too thin. The clever Camarilla took advantage of the Black Hand's disorganization and reclaimed New York City as its own. But with established princes and entrenched elders claiming domains elsewhere, to which Kindred will this new prize fall?
[edit] Introduction: Long Streets, Long Nights
The purpose of the book, as well as themes and moods, a summary, and recommended reading, music, and films,
[edit] Chapter One: The City Never Sleeps
The history of the kindred of New York, beginning with the Native Americans, Garou, and occasional Cainite refugee, and going on to the presence of Europeans and the kindred they brough with them, and finally the history of New York, complete with Cainite influences. There are also notes on the coup d'etat of the Camarilla in early 2000, which wrested control of the city from the Sabbat and brought it back into Camarilla hands, as well as information on the influence of the Giovanni and Setites.
[edit] Chapter Two: The Face of the City
The geography and major landmarks of New York from a kindred point-of-view, including information on the Tremere Chantry of the Five Boroughs.
[edit] Chapter Three: All the Beautiful Monsters
The major Cainites of New York, broken down by sect and packs; included are a number of would-be Princes.
[edit] Chapter Four: Conspiracies
The major situations in New York that might prove to make compelling chronicles, including the details on the situation of New York's Prince (or lack of one), the whispered precense of a certain Antediluvian that rules below the city, the presence of a zealous group of vampire hunters, and a few smaller ideas for storylines and twists.
[edit] Chapter Five: Telling the Tale
Tips on creating and running a New York-based chronicle.
