Ashes in Canberra Last Chronicle
History of Past Princes
1955 - 1968: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. Gathering the kindred in the city together, she proposes there be a court. It is agreed and pre-laid boons are called in for her to become the first Prince.
1968 - 1976: Rieger, Gangrel Invictus. A member of the court is destroyed by an unknown assailant, the resulting shift of boons allows Rieger to seize Praxis. On his opening night he destroys the throne and crouches on the ruins.
1976 - 1984: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. As Gangrel business forces Rieger to be detained, she successfully seizes power.
1984 - 1988: Raymond Vauxhall, Mekhet Invictus. Raymond's Praxis looks like a boon-based seizure, but no-one can plot the exact flow of boons that make it happen. Regencies are handed out, and feeding is strictly and brutally restricted to those Regencies.
1988 - 1993: Lady J, Daeva Invictus, makes back-room deal that no-one is privy to - one night, she announces that she is Prince now, and neither Raymond nor his supporters object.
1993 - 2002: Rieger, Gangrel Invictus. One day the court arrives at Elysium to find Rieger on the throne, he doesn't vacate it and speaks not of the Praxis.
2002 - 2003: Isaac Winter, Daeva Crone. Suspiciously easy Praxis seizure from Reiger...
2003 - 2004: Lupo, Daeva Lance. Is given the Praxis by Isaac, who is more interested in pursuing the Livians. Lupo, having returned from the Livian crusade, continues the persecution of the Livian cause in Canberra in a series of public inquisitorial hearings.
2004 - 2013: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. Playing on the distaste generated by the semi-frequent Inquisitorial hearings, seizes power.
2013 - July 2013: Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius. Uses boons for a traditional Praxis seizure, then institutes his own ideas on court positions.
2013 July - October 2013: Isaac Winter, as Priscus Harpy, makes a number of status changes then seizes Praxis with vast support.
2013 October - November 2013: Kaida gains the praxis after Isaac Winter steps down, contested briefly by Uncle Willy.
2013 November - December: Isaac Winter uses a Boon early in the evening to force Kaida to vacate the room, allowing him to seize Praxis once more.
2013 December - May 2014: Lady J seizes praxis after a confused melee started by Isaac Winter declaring a bloodhunt on Llewellyn Fenian.
2014 May: Isaac Winter takes the throne near the conclusion of a chaotic gathering that saw several melees and a failed bid by Jushur.
2014 June - July: Jushur is ceded the throne by Isaac Winter prior to the court gathering without a public challenge.
2014 July - February 2015: Zarkov Justinius seizes the throne after a bloody night that sees Jushur's death, he is briefly contested by Marcel Duchamp.
2015 February - Present: Grim overwhelmingly wins the Praxis contest again Uncle Willy after Zarkov Justinius steps down.
