New York Our New Carthage

About the adventure

A decade ago the Second Inquisition hit the City hard, taking out the major players within the Sabbat who ruled there. In the last two years the Camarilla has begun to setup their own rule of the City to fill the power vacuum. The Anarchs however, seeing an open opportunity to create a better life for kindred-kind, have returned to the city ensure a bastion of freedom for those who stalk the night. To do this the Anarchs will first have to put an end to the Camarilla and bring those within the City together while avoiding detection and potential destruction by the Second Inquisition. The nights are dark and full of many misadventures and the beast within lurks ever present. Will they be up to the task? Will it lead to all-out warfare or will they find a more creative way of achieving their end goals?
