Masquerade Timeline
Differences between settings
There are several differences between the previously used Laws of the Night (revised) setting and that of Vampire 20th Anniversary Edition (V20). The most notable difference is that Gehenna - the End times - are not here... yet.
The most notable differences are list below.
The "Infection" Of Camarilla Malkavians
Has happened relatively recently, within the last decade. The Camarilla is still not certain of how it views this development.
The Destruction of Goatrix's Tremere
Likewise, the Tremere in the Sabbat have just recently been destroyed; within the last few months.
The Siege of New York
Is in its final stages. It looks as if the Camarilla is going to win. Imagine that. Additionally, the other cities across the US are recovering from their own sieges. Washington DC is still held as a Camarilla domain, however it’s suffering tremendous losses and trying to get back on their feet. Russia is still in the hands of the Ventrue and the Brujah.
The Gangrel Have Not Left The Camarilla
Yet
The Schism
Has not taken place. The Assamites still suffer from their Tremere-inflicted curse.
The Fall of the Free States
Has not happened, but you can see it from here.
The Great Leap Outward Is Still Preparing
In short, the New Promise Mandarinate has not made its full-court press in to California yet.
Zapathasura Still Slumbers
The Week of Nightmares has not happened yet.
The Time of Thinblood Is Upon Us
Caitiffs are a relatively recent phenomenon, their population exploding in the post-WW2 times. The Thinblooded are even more recent - it is still commonly held dogma across the spectrum that the 13th generation cannot sire.
Other
Baba Yaga has not awoken in the steppes. The Nosferatu assume that the Niktuku are a myth.
