Caledonia Nocturnus
You know, the chinese have a curse... something about living in interesting times. It doesn't get more "interesting" than war, I suppose. The Sabbat are attacking the Anarch and Camarilla cities all along the east coast of America and this time it looks like they are starting to win. What we need is a concerted plan. Something we can agree on and implement together with full force. Of course, agreement is probably the hardest part...
The Anarchs are getting together to discuss the war with the Sabbat in the US. They've picked somewhere sparsely populated with kindred where no one can disturb them. There will be representatives from all along the American east coast and the rest of the world. This is a War Council. At the end of the meeting there should be a plan on how the Anarchs, and hopefully the Camarilla, will deal with the Sabbat incursion.
Those who play Anarchs at the monthly LARP will have the opportunity to play their characters. Anyone else who wants to play their character will need a very good reason to be going. Otherwise, you will have the choice of a city representative or one of the small list of NPCs (to be announced).
