Year of the Lotus
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
The Year of the Lotus was a theme unifying White Wolf releases in 1998. The focus of this year was Asia, culminating in the release of Kindred of the East.
[edit] Books
Six books were released under the Year of the Lotus imprint. These were:
- Kindred of the East, the Asian setting for Vampire: The Masquerade. The sourcebook launched the Kindred of the East line, which focused on the Kuei-jin.
- World of Darkness: Demon Hunter X for the entire World of Darkness setting; focusing on the Shih and Strike Force Zero, the monster hunting organizations of Asia.
- World of Darkness: Hong Kong for Vampire: The Masquerade; a citybook covering Hong Kong; in spite of its designation as a Vampire book, it has extensive material for every class of supernatural creature.
- Hengeyokai: Shapeshifters of the East for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, which covered the way that shapeshifters in Asia operated. Unlike Vampire's Kuei-jin, the Hengeyokai did not end up with their own game line.
- World of Darkness: Tokyo for Wraith: The Oblivion, detailing the sway Yu Huang holds over the wraiths of Japan. Also a citybook covering the general World of Darkness setting in Tokyo.
- Land of Eight Million Dreams for Changeling: The Dreaming, which covered the Little Gods of Asia.
[edit] Other books
Other books were released which fit thematically with the Year of the Lotus, but weren't included due to their being published in different years.
- Dark Kingdom of Jade for Wraith: The Oblivion
- Dark Kingdom of Jade Adventures for Wraith: The Oblivion
- Dragons of the East for Mage: The Ascension
- Wind From the East for Vampire: The Dark Ages
- Blood and Silk for Vampire: The Dark Ages
