Atlanta
The Heart of Dixie
Atlanta has long been a Toreador haven and, for many years, was ruled by the Toreador Vidal de Jarbeaux before he moved on to bigger and better things. Prince Benison, a Malkavian Confederate officer, has ruled the city for almost fifty years, largely uneventfully. Any number of other Kindred elders have risen and fallen for decades, but Benison has existed largely alone at the top.
The Anarchs are not incredibly organized here, although Mohammed is clearly the most powerful amongst them. The power level here is much lower than that in the more populous and prominent Northeast, although that doesn’t mean the Anarchs are any less loud or any more impotent.
(Some of you might recognize these names from the Vampire clan novels. Obviously, events in those novels have not happened. Yet.)
There are 13 street influences here for any uses you might deem relevant.
Key Kindred:
Benison
The Prince, a very angry man. His rule is respected, his sword is feared, and his wrath is legendary. An excellent Prince if you’re into that kind of thing, he has been less opposed than most Princes of his day. The only Kindred with any hint of any designs on his position is Victoria Ash.
Crawford
An enigmatic Caitiff who is very new to town, having just arrived from the other side of the pond. Been making loud noises about kicking some ass in the Tontine. Yeah -- Mohammed’s really impressed.
Dozer
A grunt who works with Mohammed occasionally. Spends most of the his time elsewhere.
Hannah
The Tremere elder. Very quiet, very creepy, very beautiful. Feared and respected by pretty much everyone involved in Atlanta.
Mercy
The Brujah Anarch who has been rumored to have been in everyone’s bed at one time or another. Particularly close ties associate her with both Mohammed and Slayton.
Muhammad
The strongest (loudest?) Anarch in Atlanta, Mohammud (don’t try to spell his name, he’ll get pissed no matter how you spell it) is a force of nature. Supposedly, he is heavily involved in the Rush. (Don’t know what that is? Better ask him.)
Richardson
The city’s Nosferatu. At least their only public one – the rest are rumored to be about the streets below.
Slayton
A very influential Tremere who was Hannah’s predecessor. What happened to him is largely unknown, but he was on to something big.
Solchare
The new breed of sophisticate Brujah. Has been in Atlanta for a short amount of time, but by making friends with the right people, has found a niche for himself in the social elite. One of the few people who finds himself comfortable with Benison, Victoria and Muhammad.
Victoria Ash
The Toreador elder of the city. Very flighty, very strange, very powerful. Seems to make her decisions based on the flip of a coin. Overtly uses her considerable sexual prowess to get what she wants. Typical Toreador.
