Holland by Night
On the way to Genoa
Thursday, 16 April 2009
This is the road the Coterie of Lucius took following the events in Brasov.   The road proved difficult, due to all kinds of political sensitivities. They crossed the border between Empirial and Papal power at least twice, so they had to be very careful about where to go. On top of that that was the constant threat of werewolves and the like.
Chronicle II
Thursday, 16 April 2009
No, this story didn't end. However, it proved exceedingly difficult to get everyone to write for this site. Something had to be done. Just to make it easier, I stopped nagging everybody about this site, and as a result, no stories were written. In the meantime, we played on. Another big problem had to be tackled: it proved impossible to use the dark age chronicles in a modern setting, primarily due to the high levels of player knowledge about the world of darkness canon. I could change the... Read more...
Borgo Pass
Wednesday, 01 April 2009
More correctly known as the Tihuta Pass. The place where the Coterie of Lucius had to build their fortress against the sabbat hordes. Archaic Jürgen von Verden found it necessary to "rebuild" this once important fortification and he found the Coterie to do so. Here, the Coterie also found an interesting library and some old artifacts. Borgo pass also has some connection with the Bram Stoker story. There it served as the entrance to the domain of Dracula.  
Bistria/ Bistritz
Wednesday, 01 April 2009
Though older remains can be found, Bistritz counts as one of the Siebenbürgen, in what is also called Transsylvania. Modern population of about 80000, although it's prince Radu has more influence in the Council of Ashes than he should.  
Balgrad/ Alba Julia
Wednesday, 01 April 2009
Also Weissenburg or Karlsburg.  One of the Siebenbürgen, in what is also called Transsylvania. Founded by Saxons in 1190. In modern times it has a population of about 70000. This area is contested, so there is no prince in modern times.
