Vampire the Masquerade: Blood of my Blood

About the adventure

This is a brief overview of the dark history of Seattle in the 1970s The 1970s in Seattle were defined by a shadow war that nearly tore the city apart. While the mortal world saw the "Boeing Bust" as a mere economic collapse, it was actually a calculated strike by Alastair Thorne, a traitorous Ventrue elder. His goal was to bankrupt the region, forcing the city's greatest predators to flee so he could seize the Princedom with his secret cabal of Ventrue and Lassombra turncoats. Simultaneously, the local Anarchs seized the opportunity to sow permanent discord. They sabotaged the Rapid Transit Plan, ensuring the Subway/Metro was never built, leaving the city congested and harder for the Camarilla to police. The battle for the Pike Place Market became a bloody stalemate; Thorne sought its total demolition to erase the Prince's influence, while Prince Graham fought to preserve it as a strategic hunting area for the minor vampires, keeping her support. The conspiracy met a gruesome end in January 1975. In a single night of coordinated strikes known as "Blood from my Blood," Prince Graham executed Thorne and eight high-ranking members of the coup, six Venture and two Lassombra. That night, was remembered as the night of the Blood of my Blood night. By purging her own lineage, Graham proved that her grip on Seattle is absolute, leaving the city to slowly rebuild over the remains of those who dared to betray the prince.
