Blood on the Tower - A V20 Dark Ages Chronicle

About the adventure

Vampire: The Dark Ages is a game of personal horror, where undead vampires, the descendants of Caine, rule the night, and various lineages, known as clans, vie for power and the control of mortals from the shadows as they struggle to contain the Beast within. In the 13th century Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht, the Lasombra Prince of Utrecht has problems. To the west, a young Toreador upstart has caught the attention of the Count of Holland, and is making moves on limiting the Prince’s power. To the north, a Brujah elder with a grudge against the Church is stirring up a peasant revolt. Closer to home, the local Ventrue are plotting against him, using the local merchant guilds to weaken his grasp on power. As if that weren’t enough, local bishop of Utrecht is particularly strong-willed, and becoming increasingly resistant to his vampiric influence. The local fae are none too happy either, with the spread of Christianity forcing them further and further into the dark corners of the countryside, and they have a bone to pick with the missionary-turned-Cainite prince. And the prince has so many lovely bones to choose from... Calling in favors owed to him by other elders, Prince Saeweard has assembled a group of neonates to throw at his problems in the hopes that his problems will go away. He’s willing to reward these neonates with their own domain within his vast territory, and/or titles and status within Cainite society. Will you help Saeweard’s crown rest easier on his head, or will you throw your lot in with one of the Prince’s many enemies and try to topple him from his throne? This game will involve a lot of intrigue, a lot of history, some mystery, and possibly some combat.
