Hello everyone!
Up next, our fourth of five revealed Factions of Seattle,
The Newcomers. The Tremere have been historically kept out of Seattle - until Prince Cross suddenly allowed them access to the University District territory. There’s endless speculation about where in Europe these Newcomers might hail from and why the Prince decided to take them in now.
The Newcomers
"I realize that there are many in Seattle who will disparage you from associating with us. We're a threat to their stability - the inevitable pressure that changes the way the city's blood flows."
-Elif Parmak, right hand of Viktor Goga
The Faction’s charismatic leader, “Professor” Viktor Goga offers any vampire who would join him safe access to blood in one of the city’s richest hunting grounds, a spot in a rapidly progressing organization - and a promise of something greater. After all, it’s said that clan Tremere knows more about the true potential of Kindred blood than any other.
The Newcomers’ ranks have swollen with occultists, scholars, college students, runaways, and more than a few defectors from the other factions. Already, the Baron views the Tremere’s operation as his most dangerous competition.
Though conflict is on the horizon, the Tremere’s star keeps rising. Alluring, confident, visionary; they offer opportunity and risk in equal measure.
Academics
Founded by blood mages, recruiting from and hunting in the University, the Newcomers are easily Seattle’s most learned Kindred faction. Those with talent can rise to the top quickly.
The Pyramid
Vienna lies shattered; Tremere across the globe are on the run. Still, there are whispers of the secrets and connections the Newcomers can call upon. Likely, not even Prince Cross himself can tell every rumor from truth. Either way, the Tremere's abilities generate a healthy fear in the Kindred community.
Outcasts
Nobody seems to know quite what led the warlocks to make the journey from Europe to the far edge of America. Given the Camarilla's generosity, it's likely they paid a high price to enter the city. What that price was, no one's quite sure.
