The Rakshasa Underground

Shortly after Prince Osbourne claimed the praxis of New York City, the Rakshasas of the domain began a secession movement from Clan Nosferatu and sought independent representation on the Priscus Council.  Petitions soon became protests, and protests soon became outright war.  The following are the known members of the Rakshasa Libration Movement...


Danah Lang

The Kindred of Quality - The Unconquered

A member of the Invictus without a title is merely a member of the Invictus without a title yet...

The Kindred of Quality - The Unaligned & The Dragons

It is often times difficult for Kindred without a covenant to reach a position of power in a domain, but for those who manage to still stand out in the city's population, there's something to be said about their determination.  For those in the Ordo Dracul, reaching a seat of power is just a matter of patience...

The Kindred of Quality - The Acolytes & The Sanctified

Though they are essentially rivals in faith, the Lancea Sanctum and the Circle of the Crone have both done very well in securing powerful positions in the domain court of New York City...

The Kindred of Quality - The Carthians

Not every Kindred in a given domain is created equal; out of the hundreds of vampires that could make up the Kindred population, only a few select individuals stand out like diamonds in the rough through their services to the city as a whole.  These are the Kindred of Quality.  When votes are cast, the Kindred of Quality are the ones who are given the right to a ballot.  First off, we have those from the Carthian Movement...

The Priscus Council

Where the Primogen Council houses the representatives of each covenant in a city, the Priscus Council houses the representatives of each clan.  Traditionally, the office is held by the oldest living member of the clan, but in most cases, the elder either does not want that responsibility or cannot handle those responsibilities, so a respected replacement is chosen to represent the best interests of the clan.  These are those representatives...

The Primogen Council

The Primogen Council is the collection of the representative heads of each of the covenants in a given city, similar to the way the Senate works to represent the individual states and the senators are the representative heads of the state in Congress.  Prince Osbourne is the Primogen for the Invictus because he is the member of the covenant who holds the highest power in the city.  These are the other primogens...
