| September 7, 2001 Kindred Events -Queen Anne of London celebrates her deathday; there are literally millions of dollars spent on the festivities. Anyone who is anyone is there, and the few violent occurrences are dealt with quietly. Members of both major sects are these, and, surprisingly, are on their best behaviour. Sasha Vykos brought the most memorable gift, the head of a methuselah ornated with rare babbles, and writing from a Noddist tablet. -Lawrence Pacterquin has been sighted...in London. He and Victoria Butler were apparently present for Queen Anne's deathday. Major News Events -Half-a-dozen women have been arrested for suspected drug trafficking and prostitution.

September 21 Kindred Events -Hamilton has nearly seen a massive breech of the Masquerade. In Elysium several recognised members of the Sabbat arrived to speak with the primogen. After several hours of talks, it was decided that the Camarilla would use some of its influence to cover up a breech, and in return the Sabbat bishop in the area would owe a major boon towards several members of the primogen. -Nicholas Savich has demanded to know why the Sheriff was unable to locate the Sabbat members prior to their arrival at Elysium.
