The Nashville chantry is powerful indeed. Michael Heidelman is one of the most feared and respected Regents in the southeastern US. Regardless of his status, the Nashville chantry runs much of the Tremere business around the Southeast. Garelius, the former Regent who founded the chantry in 1822, resides here as well. He was promoted about 150 years ago to the position of Lord within the Order of the Eastern United States. He controls chantries throughout Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. He is the highest ranking elder in Nashville next to the Prince, and he is one of the top Tremere in the eastern United States.
The Tremere are very powerful in Nashville. They fall behind only the Toreador in both numbers and ruling power. Garelius acts as chairman of the Primogen Council. The clan holds a lot of control over the state government which is housed in Nashville. Part of the Tremere's strength comes from the fact that all members are descended from each other, except for Juan Santiago who recently traveled here from Mexico. Heidelman is Garelius' grand-childe, and each other Tremere is directly descended. Vincent is Heidleman's childe, Tanya is Vincent's childe, and so on.
Vincent is the clan's link to the government. Tanya spends her energies delving into the world of the supernatural. She works toward contacting spirits and one day hopes to cross into their world. Brad Dalton continues his research into the human psyche. Damon leads a blood cult which meets underground or occasionally in Mount Olivet or Woodlawn Cemetaries. |
