As a Camarilla domain Brisbane is young and dynamic. Prior to 1900 there may have been allusions to Camarilla affiliation, but most kindred historians would place the the city under an Independent banner. The first Camarilla court of the city formed in 1907 under the praxis of [[Mr Stone]]. The city and its kindred court have only grown to any size in the years since World War 2.

A brief history of Australia:
 +
Wanting to get away from the oppression of the Elders of the Camarilla and inspired by the Sabbat’s successes in the America’s, the Anarchs funded a venture to find somewhere else to set up. Cook found them a country ripe for the taking. They pulled some strings called in boons and got it set up as a penal colony.  
 +
As the Anarchs started to make head way the Camarilla took notice and sent a reluctant kindred known as Oda to get a coterie of trusted kindred to secure a foot hold in the new colony.  
  
The Praxis of Brisbane has had a steady churn. Since 1945 there have been 13 Princes of Brisbane, not one of them has managed a tenure longer than ten years. Despite this turnover, there has never been a question of who was the Prince at any one time in that period.
+
He failed to take control of Victoria or NSW so in 1824 he had a penal colony started in Redcliffe.  
  
In the 1930's an Anarch Barony developed on the Southern border of the city. Consisting mostly of the unruly the Barony in the early days was only a loose collection in Independents, not really promoting any Anarch ideal.

Brisbane History:

Over the years he made sure the settlement grew and on 11/2/1842 Oda declared himself Daimyo of Brisbane.
  
In 1944 [[La Belle Dame d'Lumiere]] hosted the first tournament to name a Champion. This tradition has continued with the tournament held every 10 years in Brisbane and a new Champion named. Previous winners are :

By the mid 1970s corruption was rife in Queensland. Amongst the vampires infighting over influences, resources and territory was on the rise. The Anarchs, adopting the stylings of the punk movement, were becoming more organised under the  Baron (Renee's PC). The early 1980s saw the height of antagonism between the two sects. The Camarilla developed the practices and city defences that will serve it in modern nights. The surprise demolition of Cloudland, a Camarilla haven, in 1982 almost saw open war breakout.
 
  
In 1986 the Fitzgerald Inquiry broke the back of corruption in the state. The late 80s saw a revitalisation of the State and a reduction in tensions amongst the vampires. This culminated in 1992 when the Baron who had lead the Anarchs for the last two decades converted to the Camarilla. Aside from a few militant holdouts the Anarch movement was again relegated to a nursery for Camarilla childer to sow their wild oats.

History of the Camarilla in Brisbane

For context see 'the mundane history of Brisbane

A brief history of Australia: Wanting to get away from the oppression of the Elders of the Camarilla and inspired by the Sabbat’s successes in the America’s, the Anarchs funded a venture to find somewhere else to set up. Cook found them a country ripe for the taking. They pulled some strings called in boons and got it set up as a penal colony. As the Anarchs started to make head way the Camarilla took notice and sent a reluctant kindred known as Oda to get a coterie of trusted kindred to secure a foot hold in the new colony.

He failed to take control of Victoria or NSW so in 1824 he had a penal colony started in Redcliffe.

Brisbane History: Over the years he made sure the settlement grew and on 11/2/1842 Oda declared himself Daimyo of Brisbane.

Daimo Oda promoted brisbane as a good place for asian immigrate to. Many asians started immigrating soon after.

Daimyo Oda’s Laws: “ I have but five laws in my city. As long as you obey them strictly, I shall not harm you, nor allow others to do so.


None in my city shall kill and leave behind evidence of their feasting. If your slaying shall cause an investigation among the Police, or worse, among the Press, then I shall track you down and extinguish you or if others speak for you, exile you. You must lick all wounds, and dispose of all those you kill. I hold the fourth tradition in strong regard and do not take such violations of the Masquerade lightly.

None but the Eldest amongst us has the right to kill Kindred. Those who kill our kind shall be blood hunted, those helping the murderer shall be exiled.


Keep the sanctity of Elysium, for that is our place of rest and recreation. No act of violence or struggle shall be tolerated. You may attend my court there, as all in my city are free to do, but you must not carry your conflicts into the sanctity of its ground.

Do not hold commerce with my enemies or those who seek to usurp my rightful authority. I shall repay treachery with treachery, rebellion with iron might. Let me caution you. I know all that happens within my realm. Do not think you can keep secrets from me. Heed these words, and do not attempt to disobey my laws.

Highgate Hill, Gumdale and Wishart are not to be entered at any time, for any reason, unless invited. Those entering without permission risk the quality of the unlife and my wrath.” UQ since the early 1900's has been at the forefront of humanities studies.
