Obsidian Coterie

It’s 1991 in New York City, and the streets are alive: cigarette smoke hangs heavy in the air, and every intersection seems to have its own bodega where a million mouths speak a million languages that breath life into a million people living together in a 300 square mile island of Manhattan. 

The recession of the Gulf War is just beginning to ease, and opportunities bring people from across the Atlantic from Europe in larger numbers seeking opportunity; those seeking opportunity in New York create opportunity for the kinder who reside here as well, and more vampire than ever take up domain in New York and its Boroughs. 

The Camarilla, led by the recently declared Prince, Michaela wage a quiet yet violent war against the Black Hand of the Sabbat. The city is roughly divided, and though the Camarilla have nominal control it is tenuous at best. It is into this time of upheaval, opportunity, and danger.

The Obsidian Coterie is a group of young vampire who have all banded together around a powerful artifact to try and carve out enough power in New York to further their own ends. This is a story about their battle against the creatures of the night who stalk the city, but just as much about their struggle against the beast that lurks within. 

The tone will be dark, sultry, violent, and full of difficult choices. Welcome to New York.
