Storyline

May 2004

A heavily armed and armored caravan passes into the city, unnoticed by the kindred population, delivering some unknown cargo to Burlington Island.

The Archbishop Of St. Louis dispatches three packs to Burlington to fortify the positions abandoned by the Brotherhood pack, and declares an immediate Wild Hunt on Kahash Al-Rashid.

June 2004

With the investigation into the death of John Randall still ongoing, an announcement is released by Randall Enterprises CEO Samantha Wellington-Randall. The announcement publicly re-affirms Randall's suspicion that Jupiter Group was somehow involved in her father's death. It declares that from this point on, "all deals are off," officially dissolving any relations between the two corporations.

July 2004

Clan Specific Event: A curious posting is made to the Malkavian Madness Network. Any Malkavians with access should contact Bryon for further information.

July 2004

Though conflict has subsided considerably since the Sabbat takeover in May, violence continues to take place throughout the city. Rumors that Archon Theo Bell is still within the city become more and more common as the skirmishes become more numerous, with some even claiming to have seen the Brujah. Of the three packs originally dispatched from St. Louis, only one will remain intact by month's end.

Several Giovanni holdings along the eat coast fall under mysterious attack, with similar fates befalling the family holdings in numerous cities across North America. With little real territory to speak of in the US, the Giovanni clan petitions the Camarilla for assistance.

August 2004

Calls for reinforcement begin being heard in the surrounding Sabbat territories, and requests for aid begin arriving at neighboring Camarilla-held cities. The Archbishop of St. Louis dispatches one of his personal bishops to Burlington to take charge of the situation. Within a week of the arrival of the new bishop, the violence that had been becoming a nightly occurrence vanishes almost completely, and the Sabbat strength within Burlington is completely reorganized. No small amount of ash is mixed into the wind in the process.

Reports and rumors begin surfacing of troubles in Europe. News spreads of Giovanni houses in Venice burning to the foundation, and rumors rise of the Clan's secluded fortress at Mount Ericyes falling under seige by unknown forces. The Clan seems to be rapidly falling into disarray.
