Everything

When the nascent Camarilla brought the Anarch Revolt and the Assamite menace to heel, they did so in a convocation at the Abbey of the Sacred Crown, an unassuming monastery near the village of Thorns. There, the Anarch rebellion officially concluded and the Assamites submitted to the Thaumaturgical curse that reined in their wanton diablerie. What followed

was a period of Camarilla dominance in Kindred poli­ tics that has lasted almost until the modern nights. Only the recent turbulence of what some claim are the Final Nights has shaken the Camarilla’s power — but naysayers note that with the recent rise of the Anarchs and the Assamite subversion of the Tremere curse, that the symbolic significance of the Conven­ tion of Thorns has been broken.

A coterie of Anarchs who visited the ruins of the abbey “on a pilgrimage” came back with grave tales of their own, however, which are now circulating among the ranks of their fellows. According to these Anarchs, they discovered the torpid forms of seven Kindred in a surprisingly ostentatious mausoleum be­ neath the ruins of the monastery. One of their number diablerized one of the slumbering vampires and was consumed by the power of the victim’s heartsblood, raving into the night and subdued by his fellows after a night of terror gripped nearby Silchester. To date, the Anarchs have no idea who the six remaining Kin­ dred are, and it’s only a matter of time before the story makes its way beyond Anarch circles.
