Very little is actually known about the court of the previous Prince or the events that led to the near-downfall of the domain. Most of the current kindred have been briefed by their Elders with the sparse knowledge glaned from rumour and direct reports from the Archon War Party. The following is a list of what the kindred of Vancouver do know of the former court and the events that lead to the domain's current situation.

2001 – 2004
• It is assumed the Sabbat builds up new numbers in and around Abbotsford and Vancouver
 

January 2005
• Anarchs warn Clan Brujah of Sabbat movement on the periphery of the city
• The Malkavian Primogen, Jordan Kemp, attempts to turn the Primogen council against the Prince – and fails
 

Spring 2005
• In an attempt to usurp the leadership of the Domain, Clan Brujah breaches the Masquerade (in a manner of speaking) by enlisting the aid of the mortals and their “world” to help battle the Prince and his retainers
• The Brujah also enlist the Anarchs to destroy the influence of the Prince and the Toreador Seneschal, Benjamin Prahler
• Clan Malkavian attempts to steer the domain into Bad Standing in an attempt to draw in the Archons
• Clan Gangrel becomes aware of the schisms inside the domain and the threats on the periphery and takes on a posture of neutrality
 

Summer 2005
• The three elders of the domain, Brujah, Malkavian and Ventrue, now openly spar verbally with one another, attempting to blame each other for the state of the domain. These monthly symposiums were referred to as the “Elder Debates”
• Clan Ventrue openly opposes Clan Brujah’s actions before the court, accusing them of dissent and subversion with the Anarchs
• Clan Malkavian prophesies a coming three-stage war. The Harpy, a Tremere named Sidhan Nehru, and the Keeper of Elysium, a Brujah named Sally Roan, strip the Clan Malkavian of its Rival Eminence status
• Clan Brujah becomes the Rival Eminent Clan to Clan Ventrue
• The Urban Gangrel Primogen makes a call for arms. This leads to an immigration of Gangrel to the domain
 

Autumn 2005
• Clan Toreador place their support behind the Prince, openly criticizing the Brujah and the Tremere
• The Herald and the Harpies have words over the City’s Eminent Clans and the “Elder Debates”
• Clan Gangrel, both the recent arrivals and the resident clan body, settle on the periphery of the domain,  preventing any other kindred from entering or leaving
• The Malkavian Primogen goes missing in late September

Winter 2005

• The Elders no longer show at gatherings nor answer to the Prince’s call
• Police actions are turned against those mortals aiding the Clan Brujah
• Transportation, customs and shipping in the GVRD are reduced to a crawl, hampering both the  Victoria and Seattle domains from granting support
• Street gangs and underworld figures either go missing or openly and violently clash with mysterious new players
 

January 2006
• Anarchs war with Sabbat incursion forces as Clan Gangrel does nothing to aid in the domain’s defence

Spring 2006

Summer 2006; the Troubles
• Sabbat forces reveal their forces, led by a Tzimesce war party; they claim Vancouver in the name of the Sabbat.

• Clan Tremere breaches the Masquerade in defense of its chantry
• Clan Brujah and the Anarchs unite to destroy the Sabbat
• Clan Toreador takes advantage of the “troubles” to hamper the Influences of Clans Brujah and Tremere, only committing efforts to bandage the Masquerade and protect their own mortal assets
• Loyal members of Clan Ventrue fail to inspire any real cohesion in the domain and thus take up the crusade against the Sabbat alone. Many perish

May 2007
• The Anarchs and Clan Brujah, each separately, claim victory over the Sabbat
