The city of Columbia was founded in 1821. Kindred didn’t move in to the area until the founding of the University of Missouri in 1839. The Invictus were first, followed by the other covenants. The kindred survived the chaos of the Civil War and reconstruction by a strict adherence to The Traditions, a practice that continues to this night.
+
Since before the founding of the City of Columbia in 1821, the area has been a meeting place and waystation for the supernatural. Never hosting a particularly large population of any one type of being, those that have called Columbia home have learned to work with the strangest of bedfellows to ensure safety and civility among the supernatural community. Those that have held to themselves have often faced some odd hardship or another, such as the Scourge that hounded Kindred leadership for nearly twenty years: starting with the mysterious final death of a long-standing Prince in 1998, the Kindred of the city found than any claiming Praxis in the mid-Missouri area would shortly thereafter be destroyed in some oddly coincidentally manner. In 2016 the matter became even more dire for the vampires: any Kindred committing an act of violence would spontaneously combust. While the immediate source of the problem, a mortal with a severe case of fire spirit-itis, was dealt with, the pattern of the area remains.  
 
 
Many have held the title of Prince through the years, mostly Invictus. In 1998 the sitting Prince met with final death under very mysterious circumstances. After that, a string of Kindred trying to claim Praxis also died, and by thoroughly unexpected means -- spontaneous combustion, pulled into a wheat thresher, pulverised by a falling jet engine, crushed and then electrocuted beneath a vending machine, etc. Some even tried to skirt the strange curse by claiming praxis over other cities in the region -- Jefferson City, Fulton, etc -- but all met the same mysterious end. Some have started calling this phenomenon the "Praxis Scourge" or just "The Scourge".
 
 
 
As a result the Kindred moved to a council system led by the heads of the Covenants. Elders left the city in 2013, after the last attempt to claim praxis failed, leaving the ancillae in charge. While the views toward the Scourge varied from covenant to covenant one thing was clear, whoever solved its mystery would be Prince of the City.
 
 
 
'''Recent History:'''
 
 
 
In the winter of 2016, "The Scourge" took a turn for the worse.  No longer was it limited to declarations of Praxis; now any Kindred in the area who tried to commit an act of violence -- of any sort -- would burst into flame.
 
 
 
Faced with this dire new threat, the handful of Kindred who did not flee picked up on leads left by those who had, and traced the problem to its source:  a mortal with mental talents who had been bound somehow to a spirit of fire.  Despite the risk, this band of Gangrel took on the threat... and finally, despite grave burns, brought an end to "The Scourge".
 
 
 
Afterward, they started putting together the rudiments of a society again.  Other Kindred, hearing of the end of the problem, have begun cautiously returning to the city, making their way to the longstanding Elysium of the Guitar Mansion to introduce themselves.  But with an Unaligned Prince, stability has been hard to secure.
 
  
But all of this activity, all the turmoil with the final death-throes of The Scourge, alerted the hunters.  They arrived well-armed, well-trained, and with what appeared to be government backing. The small court of Columbia was insufficient to deal with the threat. As a last resort, the vampires reached out to other creatures of the night...
+
Shortly after the incident with the Kindred was resolved, a creature by the name of Elle, presenting herself as a country mother with a young daughter, made introductions among the various supernatural individuals of the city, suggesting that survival was the better part of cooperation - most especially as the spontaneously combusting Kindred has attracted mortal attention and a paramilitary organization had moved into Columbia proper to investigate the supernatural community there. Cooperation was needed in such trying times, and a true community - a protectorate of sorts - was born. At first Elle's home in Boonville became a monthly gathering place for the community to swap stories, discuss problems, and pool resources. As the group became more comfortable with one another, Elle retreated quietly and Casey, a young werewolf, provided a magically shielded coffee shop in downtown Columbia called Neutral Grounds as a more convenient option that would be accessible any day of the week, not just once a month.  
  
...and to their surprise, they responded. Initial discussions were tense, to say the least. But eventually, they agreed that mutual defense was the best option. And a protectorate was formed.
+
While individuals moved against these mortal hunters, a different threat began hunting the dreams of anyone touched by the supernatural. For months, the community was chased and stalked within their dreams, leaving them fatigued and tense. Into this atmosphere of fear and exhaustion stepped the fully formed Court of Prince Dmitri Ivanov, sent from Kansas City to claim praxis in Columbia and stem the influence along the I-70 corridor of St. Louis its "Night Congress". With help from allies from St. Louis, those of the Neutral Grounds protectorate managed to kill the abyssal spirit '''When You Die In Dreams''', freeing themselves, the hunters, and the new Kindred court from the nightmares it inflicted. The mortal world as well, for those bothering to keep track.

History

Since before the founding of the City of Columbia in 1821, the area has been a meeting place and waystation for the supernatural. Never hosting a particularly large population of any one type of being, those that have called Columbia home have learned to work with the strangest of bedfellows to ensure safety and civility among the supernatural community. Those that have held to themselves have often faced some odd hardship or another, such as the Scourge that hounded Kindred leadership for nearly twenty years: starting with the mysterious final death of a long-standing Prince in 1998, the Kindred of the city found than any claiming Praxis in the mid-Missouri area would shortly thereafter be destroyed in some oddly coincidentally manner. In 2016 the matter became even more dire for the vampires: any Kindred committing an act of violence would spontaneously combust. While the immediate source of the problem, a mortal with a severe case of fire spirit-itis, was dealt with, the pattern of the area remains.

Shortly after the incident with the Kindred was resolved, a creature by the name of Elle, presenting herself as a country mother with a young daughter, made introductions among the various supernatural individuals of the city, suggesting that survival was the better part of cooperation - most especially as the spontaneously combusting Kindred has attracted mortal attention and a paramilitary organization had moved into Columbia proper to investigate the supernatural community there. Cooperation was needed in such trying times, and a true community - a protectorate of sorts - was born. At first Elle's home in Boonville became a monthly gathering place for the community to swap stories, discuss problems, and pool resources. As the group became more comfortable with one another, Elle retreated quietly and Casey, a young werewolf, provided a magically shielded coffee shop in downtown Columbia called Neutral Grounds as a more convenient option that would be accessible any day of the week, not just once a month.

While individuals moved against these mortal hunters, a different threat began hunting the dreams of anyone touched by the supernatural. For months, the community was chased and stalked within their dreams, leaving them fatigued and tense. Into this atmosphere of fear and exhaustion stepped the fully formed Court of Prince Dmitri Ivanov, sent from Kansas City to claim praxis in Columbia and stem the influence along the I-70 corridor of St. Louis its "Night Congress". With help from allies from St. Louis, those of the Neutral Grounds protectorate managed to kill the abyssal spirit When You Die In Dreams, freeing themselves, the hunters, and the new Kindred court from the nightmares it inflicted. The mortal world as well, for those bothering to keep track.

Now, all three groups have the time and energy to turn upon one another. Welcome to the protectorate.
