-Kindred first drifted through the region as early as the late 1850’s, though it is not thought that any resided in the area.  There simply were not enough humans or livestock to sustain such a dangerous endeavour in the wilds of this still mostly unknown landscape.
-The first resident of the undead was an indigenous man, suspected to have been created as a punishment, an experiment perhaps.  They say he could not speak his sire’s name so did not know it. He was a short, white skinned devil, and would spit anytime someone would bring it up.  He quickly became shunned by his people, and was an outcast.  He was the first kindred that lived in the area, and was known as John John.  He perished in a fire, started by his own people, who saw him as an insult to their heritage.  He was lured to a promise of peace, was ambushed and pegged out in a field before a huge grassfire was lit.  A European kindred, Hansel Yergyn also perished in his efforts to rescue John John from the savages.  He was struck with spears before the fire consumed him.
-By the next evening, the tribe’s people were gone.  An understanding was then agreed to, by the surviving kindred, that a pact, an accord of non-involvement would exist between the native folk, and those that would come to dwell here need abide by it, and ensure that no violence would befall the native people, from the vampires of this region.  The brokered it, with words to benefit the native people, as a show of good will, but they were simply terrified of being slaughtered by the mysterious people that inhabit this region.  When the people returned some years later, a corroboree was held to celebrate the promise of peace.  The tribal elders gathered, as did the creatures of night, and upon the bones of ancestors past and present, they bore their words, and marks, and so it was that the promise was made.  The site where it took place is all but lost, but traces of the tribal artwork, the hand prints, though faded, still exist.  No paper exists, no contract or treaty, but it’s there, to be heeded or suffer the consequences.

-From that time, it was not long until the turn into a new century, a population around the world continued to grow, until for reasons unknown to many, the world was split into two, and the rift it caused the brutal end to millions of lives.  This upheaval had a similar effect on the growing local landscape.  All had ties back to their previous homes, their home lands, whether through love, memory or money, and returned to protect their investment, and for a time during this first of the world wars, the city was essentially abandoned.
+I have checked and edited any links that point to this page.
-In a short few years later, some of those that left returned, to continue what was started, however, found they were not alone.  During the war of the world, some kindred discovered this area.  Perhaps moving inland through fear of what may become of the world, or perhaps from guilt from a deed undertaken, or a blind eye given.  Regardless, the city was inhabited by a small number of varied kindred.  With the return of those from before the war, in order to establish civility, it was agreed to establish something slightly more formal, and so, in 1921, the first ‘court’ of Toowoomba was formed.
+thankyou
-The city now is very much a centre, dominated by those of the Elder social class, who have enforced a certain tempo within the city, with those of the Ancillae social class filling the needs of those Elders, while still striving for their own independent endeavours.  Neonates are a rare commodity, and infrequently will a neonate entertain the stale climate of court for an extended period of time, generally preferring to avoid the spotlight or leaving after a brief visit.  As the Elders are unwelcoming of change, the side effect has been extended periods of stability, willing to place their peers into torpor to continue such times of peace.  For those considering much more than a retirement lifestyle, this may not be the change for you.
