The Carthian Movement

  • Carthians can find an improvised haven somewhere in the city on very short notice, not needing to return to their normal homes. They cannot be left without a shelter unless taken outside the city. Improvised havens do not grant any of the benefits of the Haven Merit, however.
  • Once per month, each Carthian can call on their resources to attract a small crowd of mortals (between 8 and 15 people, depending on how many would be available in the area) to help out in a fairly innocuous, legal, non-lethal activity of the Carthian’s choice (e.g.: stage a protest, build a simple structure


The Circle of the Crone

  • Acolytes gain +2 dots of the Allies Merit in the field most useful to pursuing their research (e.g.: an Acolyte whose occult studies focus on the lessons of the plant world might gain an Ally in the park service or the city’s botanical garden. This is a separate instance of the Allies Merit and does not combine with any similar Merits a character may already have. This Merit cannot be used for tasks that are overtly supernatural or illegal.
  • Each member regains +1 point of Willpower each week as they perform their rituals (during downtime).


The Invictus

  • An Invictus Prince cannot lose any City Status dots during a month which their covenant is ascendant.
  • Non-Invictus Harpies must spend +3 points of Status per -1 of City Status they wish to remove from a member of the Invictus.
  • No Invictus member can have their last dot of City Status stripped away, unless done by the Prince or Master of Elysium who are members of the Invictus.


The Lancea Sanctum

  • Once per week, a Sanctified character may pray to Longinus and regain +1 point of Willpower (this prayer takes 1 minute if done during a game session and approximately 1 hour if performed during downtime).
  • All Sanctified characters are considered exempt from the authority of all Kindred non-Sanctified officers (save for the Prince and Harpies). This isn’t supernatural protection — it is merely considered unthinkable to attack an ascendant Sanctified.


The Ordo Dracul

  • Each dot of City Status a Dragon has at the beginning of the month (before ascendancy bonus) allows them to ignore the result of a single non-supernatural Social (instant or extended) action performed against them.
  • Each Dragon may claim a discreet territory (no more than a few city blocks) to be their personal fiefdom and become regent of the area. Others who hunt there must pay tribute or leave at the Dragon’s discretion. Dragons may not claim a place already claimed by another unless they have a higher City Status (after the ascendancy bonus) that the current owner. When the covenant falls from ascendancy, all claims to territories are lost unless individual Dragons can defend them.


The Unaligned

An outlaw paradise. No boons involving members of that domain are valid. Kindred recognize the lawlessness of the domain and the futility of expecting the Traditions or Elysium to be upheld
