TIME: 1252 C.E.
PLACE: Glastonbury, Somerset County, England
The Long Night is over. The diablerie of Saulot, the waking of Mithras -- it all means the time of reflection is over. The Inquisition stirs and the time to act is now. Across Europe, monarchs of the night set princes and barons at each other's undying throats. Young vampires take to the field ready to claim their domain and become powerful lords in their own right. Blood calls to blood.
The 10 tribes of Garou once raged across the Dark Medieval, secure that none could challenge their power. They defended their sacred places without fear of man, Cainite or beast. But now that the first prophecy has come to pass, the werewolves know fear. Will the other visions come to pass as well?
It is a world lit by torch-fires and ruled by superstitions. It is a time before the birth of reason and before humanity?s dominion over the world. This Dark Age is an epoch for castles, nobles, priests and wizards. Treading in the shadows of the world, consorting with demons and monsters, these magicians, holy men, philosophers and pagans wield unfathomable magic in a world veiled in mystery. This is a Mythic Age when magic ruled and science was but a dream unborn. Only wizards walk unafraid in the revenant-haunted and wolf-infested night.
In this Age of Darkness, Satan's get infest the world. Blood-drinking demons and savage creatures prey on good Christians or lead them to heresy. Even the Holy Mother Church itself teems with devils in man's flesh. But God Almighty has seen fit to choose some to stand against the tide of darkness. With sword and torch in hand, we search out the evil that lurks in the night.
The Vampiric populous of Glastonbury is part of the Baronies of Avalon, under the rulership of Mithras. All others see that the vampires are the primary threat to Pax Britanica. The Three Kingdoms of the Garou, the Silver Fangs, the Fianna, and the Fenrir, have a modest truce, dividing England into unequal shares. Glastonbury is within the bawn of the Fianna.
