1850 - The process of Italian unification was heading to its apex, demanding the best of mortals' attentions. Kindred, meanwhile, disinterested with the squabbles of kine, gave them only a passing glance, busy as they were with their own struggles both petty and grand. Milan, back then, was a Sabbat stronghold under the rule of Giangaleazzo. Both Nizza and Genoa were under the domain of the Ivory Tower, as they had always been. Turin, caught in the middle, was a perpetually contested territory, with various coteries fighting over the control of each neighbourhood. Until that year. Maybe infected by the same sentiment that animated their mortal contemporaries, maybe influenced by some facet of their curse, contention between Kindred had escalated. It was time for a sect to take control, or the city would be lost forever. The Camarilla had a strategic advantage, having seized control of a large part of the city and forging out a stable domain in the city center. However, the Sabbat were also laying siege. The Ivory Tower was suffering severe losses against the squads of shovelheads, chaotic but rich in numbers. The best minds of the local Camarilla gathered to find a way to avoid their destruction... What happened that night, nobody knows. Nobody is around to tell the tale. Its chronicles, if they even exist, are lost somewhere in the underground of Turin. We only know that the Camarilla won. Shortly afterwards the disappearances began. The phenomenon didn't affect mortals, though an increase in agitation and nightmares was reported among the most sensitve souls. Kindred, one by one were vanishing into thin air and the few that escaped the city were amnesiac at best, and most often too broken to speak coherently at worst. For decades after, sensible Kindred (Camarilla and Sabbat both) gave Turin a wide berth. The loss of a few envoys from both parties, and the phenomena reported by others served to confirm the view that the city was nothing more than a cursed land, whose resources were not worth the risk. However, after 1945, whatever haunted Turin seemed to have been placated; despite the occasional accident, the city seemed safe enough for exiles, mystery-seekers and adventurers to give it a chance. Some of them, imbued with the same skepticism of their mortal counterparts, laughed at those silly old legends, that seemed nothing more than spooky tales for children. And it seemed they were right, until 1999. A new wave of both apparitions and disappearances came, to refresh the memory of all Kindred within Turin's city limits... Though it was not the systematic destruction of previous decades, it was enough to illuminate the "old legends" once more. |
