Vampire: Dark Ages (Vienna) - Chapter 0: Prologue

Post by Goatkiller666 »

[This map is actually from the late 1500s, but it was as close as I could get. For the sake of "simplicity" we'll declare it to be correct. That said, my ability to read medieval German handwriting isn't the best, especially when they didn't have a distinct top or bottom to the map. After a bit of staring, and comparing with Google Maps, I have determined North to be somewhere around 5 o'clock on this map, down and a bit to the right.]

Prince Katarina von Babenberg, Childe of Hardestadt, Clan Ventrue

Prince Katarina was born in Vienna, the eldest daughter of the Count of the Eastern March. When her father died, after a series of battles, Katarina's infant son Leopold was the heir to the throne, and she took over running the duchy as the regent. Though her son went on to be an able ruler in his own right, Katarina continued playing a strong role in the growth and prosperity of the land, eventually coming to the attention of Hardestadt. He embraced her immediately, and she has quickly grown Eastern March into the Duchy of Austria.

Katarina is very aware of familial relations, and allows those kindred (and even those mortals who are aware of her continued existence) who are descended from her mortal flesh to refer to her as "Grandmother". All of those so honored are, of course, also of her Clan, and it is a sign of elitism for Kindred to use "Grandmother" in conversation with others, instead of "Her Highness".

Image

Primogen Ludwig von Modena, Childe of Katarina, Clan Ventrue
Commander of the armies of Austria.

Ludwig is the second son of Katarina's eldest daughter, and has served her son in life before serving her in undeath.

Image

Dieter von Modena, Childe of Ludwig, Clan Ventrue

Ludwig's first child, but not of Katarina's mortal lineage. Neither Katarina nor Ludwig have ever held against him his lack of descent from her, but there are whispers amongst the other clans that Katarina's mortal blood perhaps lord this over his head. Of course, no Ventrue would speak of these things to an outsider.

Dieter was the greatest warrior of his age in the Eastern March, though not the greatest general. He considers himself a good soldier for his country and his clan.

Image

Rolf von Modena, Childe of Ludwig, Clan Ventrue

Rolf is the soldier son of one of Katarina's grandsons. He was never in line to inherit the throne, but quickly showed a knack for leading battle formations, and came to Ludwig's attention.

Primogen Adalbert Babenberg, Childe of Katarina, Clan Ventrue

Adalbert the Victorious was ruling Margrave of Austria from 1018 - 1055. His death at the age of 70 was seen as a great loss for the country, since he had done so much to further the wealth of the nation. But he did not die, he simply began to rule behind the scenes instead, still under his grandmother's leadership.

Adalbert has never sired a childe, though the ruling mortals are all of his mortal line, just as they are of Katarina's.

Image

Primogen Otto von Habsberg, Childe of Jurgen, Clan Ventrue

Otto is actually descended from the Schwabian Habsberg family, and was embraced by Jurgen, himself descended from Katarina's sire Hardestadt. When Hardestadt embraced Katarina, he asked his elder childe Jurgen to help her grow her power in the area. Jurgen's response was to send his childe Otto. Initially, Otto viewed his role as one of elder, and expected to rule the March in his own right. Katarina soon proved her own worth, and the two have since settled into an uneasy alliance.

Image

Hermann von Habsberg, Childe of Otto, Clan Ventrue

Otto's childe from Schwabia, came with him to Vienna to help his sire.

Image

Ulga von Kurtzburg, Childe of Otto, Clan Ventrue

Otto's second childe, from the local Kurtzburg family.

Image

Fritz von Kaufstein, Childe of Ulga, Clan Ventrue

Fritz was only embraced 65 years ago, and has recently been released from his sire's control.

Image

Primogen Karl von Rohrbacher, Childe of Katarina, Clan Ventrue

Descended from another of Katarina's daughters, Karl rules the Counts of Rohrbacher, who are close supporters of the throne.

Image

Faxon von Rohrbacher, Childe of Karl, Clan Ventrue

Faxon was a childhood friend and cousin to Karl from his father's side, and is not descended from Katarina's seed. Still, his mortal relationship with his sire grants him some leeway.

Image

Maria von Teuffenbach, Childe of Karl, Clan Ventrue

Maria is Karl's grandchild, herself married to the Teuffenbach family. After embracing Faxon, Karl began to feel some pressure from the court to embrace one of Katarina's line. For 20 years, he waited for a male descendant of his own to demonstrate worth of being embraced, but all the boys disappointed. Only when Lars von Teuffenbach, the uninspiring son of a minor noble began to quickly rise through the court did Karl notice that his mortal granddaughter had been married to him for only four years. Lars himself was easily controlled by Maria, and she was herself soon brought under the blood. Maria enjoys the special distinction of being the only one in the city Katarina calls "granddaughter". Even those mortals who were her grandchildren were always referred to as "the daughter of my son" or "the son of my daughter".

Image

Primogen Heinrich, Childe of Francois, Clan Toreador

Through his childer, Heinrich controls the religious life of Vienna. There is often strife between Heinrich's influence from a theological approach and Katarina's secular approach. To date, Heinrich has not made any strong attempts to move against Katarina's will, choosing to focus instead on the beauty of the people's faith.

Image

Traugott, Chidle of Heinrich, Clan Toreador

Traugott rules the priests of the city, and is strongly associated with St. Stephen's church (later Cathedral).

Image

Gertrude, Childe of Heinrich, Clan Toreador

Gertrude rules the nuns of the city, who while being a smaller group than the priests, tend to exert more influence of the nobles of the city. Many disgraced daughters of prominent families are nuns, and Gertrude makes a point of having them restore and maintain relationships with their families.

Image

Primogen Isabelle von Tuscany, Childe of Severus Alexander, Clan Toreador

Isabelle's mortal family married with Italian nobles from Tuscany, though she herself was born and bred in Vienna. Her family still maintains a strong trading relationship with their Italian counterparts, strengthening their position in the city. Isabelle was the eldest daughter, but never married. She left the family in disgrace, only to reappear a few years later as a vampire to control them anyway.

Image

Ulricht von Tuscany, Childe of Isabelle, Clan Toreador

Ulricht is not related to the Tuscany family by blood. As a mortal, he was the man with whom Issabelle's affair eventually caused her downfall. After that fall, he stayed with her as her lover, and then as her childe. He took on the Tuscany name as a sign of commitment to Isabelle, after his embrace. Most consider him to be nothing more than her vampiric consort, though it is suggested that he is also one of her closest advisors.

Image

Luigi di Tuscany, Childe of Alberto, Clan Lasombra

While the Viennese branch of the Tuscany family is ruled by Toreador, the Italian branch is controlled by the Lasombra instead. Luigi was sent by the Italian branch to facilitate trade between them. He has been in Vienna for about 30 years, and so far the relationship has been profitable for both sides of the family. From the outside, it seems as though Luigi has no direct influence within the city, only what indirect pressure he can apply because of his control of the trade from Italy. He is treated as an honored guest of Isabelle, and generally marches in lock-step with her.

Image

Primogen Lars "The Judge", Sire unknown, Clan Brujah

Lars is a very strict and rigid person, who espouses law and reason above all else. Some of his lectures on using reason and logic to work through matters of guilt have nearly bordered on heresy, though never quite to the point of allowing the religious and noble leaders to take action against him. Nonetheless, he is a staunch supporter of Katarina in all ways.

Image

Ivan Karpenku, Childe of Lars, Clan Brujah

Ivan has influence over the city watch. He is a small man, known for his extreme temper. Extreme even for a Brujah.

Image

Krinn, Sire Unknown, Clan Brujah

Little is known about Krinn or what his role in the city is. He says very little during courts, and generally seems to be a foppish minor noble of little influence.

Image

Vasyl, Childe of Lars, Clan Brujah

Vasyl is one of the few "commoner" vampires in Vienna. He is not educated, not particularly religious, and not a particularly great fighter. What he is, is a well organized leader of the areas teamsters. Vienna has become a great center for commerce, as well as a path for many parts of the Holy Roman Empire to go to Crusade, or to push Christianity into Poland and Russia. Lots of goods are sent through the city, either by wagon or by barge on the Danube. Vasyl has his finger on all of this, and helps keep it all well run. As a childe of "The Judge", one of his primary tasks is to control crime, especially smuggling and graft, and he takes this role very seriously. Frequent examples are made of smugglers who use Vienna in their routes.

Primogen Gottfried, Knight of St. Lazarus, Clan Nosferatu

The Knights of St. Lazarus are all knights who have contracted leprosy, and who have been evicted from their orders. They have banded together now, to continue the ways of chivalry for as long as they can. Their special focus is protecting those who are completely cast aside by others, fellow lepers as well as the empoverished or children, etc.

All the Nosferatu of Vienna serve under Gottfried, their commander. Little is known about them before they arrived as a group to the city, over a century ago. Some stories tell that they were all leper knights taking a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to see God's forgiveness. Along the way, so the story says, they encountered a pious Nosferatu who embraced them all. All of them have changed their names to include reference to God. They've taken on new names, as they've taken on new appearances. All posability of personal vanity, either from looks or from pride, are thus cast aside.

Image

Primogen "The Doktor", Sire Unknown, Clan Cappadocian

"The Doktor", as he goes by no other name, plays the part of a plague doctor. [The Black Death doesn't come through Europe until the mid-1300's.] He spends his time researching death at a small monastery outside of town, who are known among mortals to practice funeral rights for the whole duchy. He seems to care little for vampire politics or mortals, except in how they die. But his personal power is vast, probably rivaling that of Katarina, if he chose to weild it. Though he is a primogen and given the right to speak in the Prince's Court, he typically has no opinions on the goings on of the city.

Image

Rashida, Sire Unknown

Rashida is a rather dark-skinned man, and many take him for a Saracen when they encounter him. Still, he claims to be a Christian, and there are no stories told to gainsay this. He commands a group of begger knights attached to the Monastery where "The Doktor" does his research, and he sees it as his job to protect his master's peace and quiet. He is more often seen attending court; he claims it is to be advised of events on his master's behalf, though rumors suggest it is from boredom as much as anything else.

Image

Primogen "Wisdom", Sire Unknown, Clan Malkavian

Not much is said about "Wisdom", and even less is said by her. Orden and Kaos carry her on a litter into the Prince's court whenever it is called, where she will sit quietly, usually giving no indication that she's even aware of what's happening around her. She is given to random outbursts, quietly to herself, and Orden and Kaos both pay rapt attention to whatever she says. On very rare occasions, during court, she will stand and make pronouncements. Invariably, they prove amazingly accurate, though some are so vague as to only be understandable after they have come to pass.

Prince Katarina usually ends Court by allowing a moment for "Wisdom" to speak. When nothing is said, that is taken as a sign that all of the city's business has been set to rest, and all may depart.

Image

"Orden", Childe of "Wisdom", Clan Malkavian

He prefers to be called Jethro, claiming that "Orden" is only a title bestowed by "Wisdom" to tell her two childer apart. To him falls the tasks of maintaining his sire, including providing her with blood and keeping her clean. When encountered on his own, he usually claims to be following some vague comment let fall by "Wisdom", though he is the first to admit that he sometimes fails to interpret her comments correctly. Very often, many of his public tasks seem silly or wasteful, but enough of them have proven to be ultimately helpful that few will argue with him.

Orden has a strange manner of speaking, and uses only 17 syllables at a time. Many scholars wonder at his ability to speak normally without needing to stop and draft his words ahead of time. Watch for people around him counting on their fingers while he speaks.

Image

"Kaos", Childe of "Wisdom", Clan Malkavian

"Kaos" is "Wisdom's" elder childe, and is the one most like her sire. She goes by no other name. When with her sire, many observe that she seems "more or less lucid". It's only when she's encountered on her own that one realizes that her lucidity is only by contrast. She will generally make eye contact with others, and seems to listen to their words and respond to them. The actual meat of her response is usually, but not always, somehow related to the original statement, if only vaguely.

Primogen Luminita, Childe of Fanchon, Clan Tremere

The Tremere have only recently arrived in Vienna, as part of an alliance formed between the Clan elders and Hardestadt, sire of Prince Katarina. Their exact number is currently unknown, except by the Prince herself.

Human Story: Casper von Hausberg is an Austrian nobleman around age 24, sent to Vienna to study diplomacy and work near his family lands. His naturally good looks and persuasive air have led to success in this endeavor. He has pale skin and medium length, tousled blond hair. His parents still live on their estate in Innsbruck, but his wife and children are dead (not counting the numerous dalliances he has had). He is renowned for being somewhat obsessively meticulously and a firm believer in chivalry, as well as his charisma. It is rumored that he doesn't blink, however, that is unconfirmed or widely dismissed.

((Should I put an indepth vampire background? The above was just his reputation as a human.))

"But a moment later Kasreyn twitched. His limbs shifted. Slowly, stiffly, he climbed to his hands and knees, then to his feet. An instant ago, he had had no pulse: now his heart beat with renewed vigor. Strength flowed back into him. He turned to face the company. He was grinning like a promise of murder."

Far to the west, deep in the Black Forest, lies the Caern of the Blood Fist. Filled with pack upon pack of Fenrir, it is a mighty bastion in the tribe's fight against the Wyrm. The Caern claims to command territory just to the edge of Vienna's lands.

To the Southeast live several packs of Red Talons. They claim the territory between Budapest and Vienna, but do not approach the city.

Far to the Northeast are several packs of Silver Fangs. Their presence is about as strongly felt as the Fenrir, and like that tribe, they claim the land only up to Vienna. It is rumored that the Silver Fangs have a large Caern somewhere within the Russian countryside, though this has never been confirmed.

A result of this is that Vienna is in a sort of null jurisdiction, where none of the major garou powers claim to guard it, and they each blame the others for whatever evils happen here. Vienna's reach spreads mostly along the Danube, especially downstream, but since this area is guarded by the Red Talons, they don't really pay attention to what happens in the downstream population centers.

Bone Gnawers

There are no known caerns within or near the city. There is a pack of five Bone Gnawers who live on the underside of Vienna, mostly surviving. With the strength of the local leeches, they carry out covert actions more than great battles against the Wyrm.

Image

Dolf "Good Dog" - Philodox - Rank 4 - Bone Gnawer

Dolf actually means "Noble Wolf", but the Bone Gnawers don't let a pretty name stay unblemished. In spite of the nickname, Dolf is a very honorable man, and a firm leader of his small pack within Vienna. Taking care of his "dogs" is his main goal, and he is very cautious in any actions he takes in fighting the servants of the Wyrm.


Image

Karola - Galliard - Rank 4 - Bone Gnawer

Karola and Dolf broke the laws. They lay together like beasts, and Wendell is the proof of this crime. But, there were none to stop them, and so they continue their false marriage right out in the open. Karola is quite outspoken about how she has no remorse for her actions, and how she's quite pleased with Wendell in all ways.


Image

Nadja - Theurge - Rank 2 - Bone Gnawer

Karola's daughter from a traveller years ago, she is a quiet type. Usually seeming nothing more than a poor begger girl, she nonetheless keeps alert for signs in the spirit realm. And though she is young and inexperienced, those who follow Rat sense that she will one day be a great mystic of her tribe.


Image

Jaeger - Ahroun - Rank 3 - Bone Gnawer

Jaeger was seen in his Crinos form by a pair of leeches, once. He managed to kill one of them, but the other escaped. The leeches called a hunt for him that sent him hiding underground for months, and kept the entire pack from acting openly for quite some time. That was years ago, and the leeches seem to think he was just passing through. They've kept their attacks more sneaky since then.

Wendell - Ragabash - Rank 1 - Bone Gnawer DEAD

Wendell is young. He thought it would be fun to follow around the Pack of the Penitent Pilgrem as they crusaded against the Wyrm. Unfortunately, they haven't left the city yet, and he's getting bored. They all speak of the oaths he made before Christ and them all, and he's not sure how to tell them that he only said those things so they'd let him come along. He's the son of Dolf and Karola.

Pack of the Penitent Pilgrim

Image

Only arrived to the city a few months ago, is a mixed-tribe pack of Crusader wolves, the Pack of the Penitent Pilgrim. Lead by a Silent Strider and a Warder of Men, with Fenrir, Fianna, Silver Fang, Shadow Lord, and now a Bone Gnawer, they are following confusing portents to the area. None know what their goal really is, or when they will leave Vienna again, not even their Theurge. So far, they've stayed outside the city in general, not wishing to start a war they can't win with the local leeches.

Majid - Theurge - Rank 5 - Silent Strider DEAD

Majid claims to be a Christian arab, from Acre. He and .. met during the Crusades to the Holy Land, where they gathered the rest of the pack together. Through prayer, he hopes to receive portents of how they may perform God's works upon the face of the world, and to fight the forces of the Devil / Wyrm wherever they may be found.

Mauricio Estefan del Tores - Philodox - Rank 5 - Warder of Man DEAD

Mauricio is from the free states of Italy, but didn't have his first change until after he'd taken his oath as a knight. He has been able to integrate both his garou and Christian beliefs together surprisingly well, having tested them by fire during the recent crusade. He feels that while most wolves feel themselves to be wolves in men's clothing, hiding among men and doing Gaia's work; he and his pack should instead be men entirely. The best that Man can be, tempered with what the wolf has to offer. He wants to lead the forces of man against the Wyrm, instead of allowing the Wyrm to control those forces to destroy Gaia. He is very passionate in this, but so far few have chosen to follow him.

Shamus "Destroyer of Virtue" O'Rourke - Galliard - Rank 3 - Fianna

Shamus and his brother Finn heard the call of the Crusades and came running. The chance for glory could not be ignored. While there, they encountered Benicio and Majid, and heard the truth of their words. True to his auspice, Shamus brags of his own accomplishments almost as much as he brags of those of his brother. His nickname comes from the tales he tells of the many women he's had on his travels through Christendom. His brother says that he only exagerates somewhat.

Finn "Destroyer of Evil" O'Rourke - Ahroun - Rank 3 - Fianna

Less subtle than his brother, but no less couragious, Finn is everything an Ahroun of the Fianna should be. Bold and dangerous, without fear or mercy.

Eric "Truth of Gaia" - Philodox - Rank 4 - Fenrir DEAD

Gotzon "Spear of the Lord" - Ahroun - Rank 3 - Fenrir DEAD

Yefim "Foe Hammer" - Ahroun - Rank 4 - Silver Fang DEAD

Constantin "Watches the Darkness" - Theurge - Rank 3 - Shadow Lord

Ratkin

Unknown to the garou of the area, Vienna actually does have caerns within it. Each has between 10-15 rats in attendence at any moment, with perhaps another 20 ratkin in the city beyond those. The city, especially the Danube river with its many barges, is a heavily travelled area for the Ratkin, with rats from all over Austria stopping by regularly. The three caerns represent the three members of the triat, and all the rats migrate between them as they need. On the night of the full moon, each Caern calls a moot.

At the head of the three caerns are three sisters, all born to the same litter. Few remember their given names, now they are just known by the caerns each leads. On the night of the new moon, the three sisters gather together to discuss the common needs of the caerns and the city. Their decision typically carry much weight all across Austria. Each caern also has a champion, with different focuses. Beyond these six, everything else is fluid within the city.

Kaldrenzi Culls-The-Chaff, recently in town, staying at the Ravaging Caern. New to Vienna, but local to the area. Staring at you is a face, neither male nor female, body curves in some places, yet flat in others, rendering a visually confusing individual. It's voice has an almost neutral quality, denying classification of gender. Loose black clothing, of a practical nature and cut adorns this person.

I'm in town, on assignment. I had to recently reacquire something taken from the local colony, and to the victor foes the spoils. Too bad that one turned out to be Garou. Laid up with this nasty scar on my shoulder, I'm biding my time, healing, and seeing what Vienna has to offer. Done a few things for the elders, I got a few back, we all work together.

The humans have taken over, sprawling with alarming rapidity. This isn't how it's supposed to be. They have failed in their task, so it's back to us to clean up their messes. We were Gaia's chosen destined to limit their growth. Now look, they're everywhere, and falling to Corruption. But that's what We do. Propaganda blames us as disease ridden and plague bearers. Only by our gifts are we such, and those gifts are from Gaia. Doing our role as She has created us to do. But that's enough of that...

Of course, if something comes up, and the price is right, I'm available. Long as it doesn't endanger my kin and colony, everything else is negotiable...

It is a pleasure, she assures. Klaudia Lucretia Reif your honor enjoys.

Though Strasbourg was once her home, those troublesome times have fled into the past. Now the quiet halls of Wein's University are where she lairs. With no sire to watch over, The Doktor nominally serves, whom Lucretia serves in turn.

With the Court begun, a fanciful entrance provided fun. Now, however, she is entranced by the one with skin pale as hers.
