City Rulers

Vidal - Prince of the City / has been ruling for over 200 years / Ventrue / Lancea Sanctum
Savoy - Stewart of the French Quarter / Devea / Lancea Sanctum
Cimitiere - Spiritual leader in Voodoo and Hoodoo / Nosferatu / Circle of the Crone

There exists a three way split in political power in the Crescent City. Although Vidal is the Prince, of long standing power, he is beginning to feel the weight of his years. Rumors are spreading about his growing weakness and need to enter torpor. Leading up to this, power in New Orleans has held a three pronged balance. The lush and valuable French Quarter is currently held by the Prince’s rival, Savoy. Savoy is somewhat of an upstart in New Orleans. His presented background is most assuredly false, but few beyond his inner circle dare to challenge his assertions. Should balance tip in favor of Savoy, the rule of New Orleans would be similar to Vidal’s, but perhaps more opulent based on his Devea blood. The third tine in the power of New Orleans is Cimitiere, a Voodoo/Hoodoo leader. The religion is despised by Vidal, and has made the pair insufferable axis powers. In times past, Vidal has made efforts to eliminate Voodoo, as he is a devout Lancea Sanctum and sees this pagan belief as heresy. Together the trio holds divided the political power.
