Chicago...Home of a population of over three million people.
Chicago...A city of lights.
Chicago...The City of Wind.
The city...the tall buildings...the remaining stockyards...a place where no sane person leaves home without protection...it is not only corrupt but thoroughly honest and unapologetic in its corruption.
Chicago, home of the vampires who thirst for acceptance as well as blood.
Chicago, home of the lycans who struggle against the beasts within...
Chicago, home of the magical fey whose powers know no bounds...
Chicago, home of the witches and supernatural beings who crave power.
The setting is present day Chicago, Illinois. It is a city that has recently been rocked by a purging of the supernatural community. None of the powers that be are sure exactly what transpired. Unsure of what caused the recent troubles they are sure of one thing... Chicago is once again habitable to their kind. As such the city is in the middle of a land grab the likes of which hasn't been seen since the westward expansion. The first casualties appear to be the local Streak as the other clans have their hands at the throats of those who lust for power. Everyone wants their fair share and the city is in uproar as the dust begins to settle...

The End... of the Beginning « Thread Started on Feb 27, 2009, 3:44pm »
This eyeblink of a year had seen many firsts. The first Arcadian infected with the dread scourge of lycanthropy. The first Arcadian publicly born of both courts allowed to reaching adulthood. This year had been a maelstrom of unprecedented unexpected firsts. Needless tho say for those old enough to remember the times before this year was horribly...new. Many thought that this was the last hurrah of summer. That the graying time was here. The Fae were doomed die completely in the next few turns of the globe.
Initially Sir Oric thought much the same. He had become maudlin and moribund. Expecting fully that the mighty Arcadians as a race were doomed to fall into extinction. But he had been resurrected from his thoughts by finding his hands of power. New life. a new beginning after several seemingly endless years upon the planet. He one of the oldest knights of the Per's realm had been gifted by the hosts. Not once but twice.From no hands of power to wielding both in a matter of days.
It was the much needed sign he needed. It was time to return to the old ways. The courts must be made whole once again. The feasts and the contracts would need to be honored. He could remember in the time before now when each court right and truly ruled for their season. Not as it was now the courts sundered each fostering enmity to the other.
Having Marshalled his knights beneath his banner he broke loose the bonds of fealty he once had. In action he was now an oathbreaker in deed he was never more true to the tenants he had held dear. Some believed that he was merely seeking power. In truth he was hearkening back to the time before. When the monarchs of the courts wore the mask of haughtiness but ruled with a wise heart. Instead of now where the mask was wisdom.
At last he was successful though the battles were long and hard fought he had gained complete control of the court. He had sent messengers out into the world . Seeking out the Arcadians hiding amongst the mortals. He had not heard back from any of them. He wanted the court whole and just even making overtures to the e unseelie. He knew they were won't to ignore his offers yet he was doubtful as to any other way besides war.
He dreaded taking his men and his people back into the mouth of horror but he would it was his mandate to return the Arcadians to the way of the shining host and he would by any means allowed him...
