A History of Nights long past

In the Early Eighties The Cardinal of the Sabbat ordered us to "Take this Land", so the Cainites dispersed throughout the great Southern Land; hiding, recruiting, and scouting the Metropolitan areas. There were a few run-ins with Camarilla with usually small skirmishes, the Camarilla are as of yet unaware that we have a sizeable Australian presence. Our Crusade is believed to have started in Perth, as it is fairly Isolated from the Camarilla controlled cities on the Eastern Coast. Through the 90's and 00's and early 10's we ran deep reconnaissance and infiltrated the other major cities.

Modern Nights

June

In June 2013 a Ventrue antitribu by the name of Richardo summoned the packs and declared that they would be attacking Brisbane. We geared up to attack, but some of the packs aren't easily swayed by Richardo's words and hold back their resources. The plan of action was to recruit or "remove" the Anarchs and Camarilla in a single night reasoning that the Camarilla had grown soft from decades of easy living, and with the help of Oppressed Anarchs, though smaller and weaker, the Sabbat might have enough power to devastate the Enemy force.

Shovelheads are made, and one pack of Cainites infilitrates the Anarchs under the guise of Anarchs displaced from Sydney.

July

On July 13 Richardo suddenly and without consultation declares that the attack will happen that night. Worried about the possibility of hidden Anarchs, he orders the shovelheads and other waiting packs, who were to be used against the Camarilla, to attack the Quiet Valley retirement home in Logan (Anarch territory) which would hopefully draw out hidden forces and divide the Anarchs. The more martial Anarchs met our challenge and Richardo and the infiltrator pack took to the Rogues Nightclub, delivering an Ultimatum "Join or Die", to which the Anarchs replied "Fuck off, we're not joining the Sabbat". After the dust settles Richardo is MIA.

During the incident the Nursing home has turned into major fiasco; with police and camera crews turning up. About this time Richardo pops up out of the dark and orders our surviving Brothers and Sisters to directly attack the Camarilla. Shovelheads showing up at previously scouted Camarilla havens find them empty, Richardo learns of a Camarilla meeting in South Brisbane takes command of the Shovelheads and leads the charge by diving headfirst into the shallow end. Richardo is once again MIA. The night is a gorram disaster.

August, September, October

Widespread Arson, Murder, thievery, robbery, battery, and Grand theft Auto plagues Brisbane.

New packs are formed; Trashed, Lost and Strung-Out, although they are often at half-strength during attacks on enemy territory they often spearhead operations, and Crimson Steel.

Two new Bishops are elected; Hyena, and Aunty Nancy, both of The Black Kiss. Hyena is considered to be the most successful Bishop with a record of Zero casualties during his 10 minutes in the position, and actually surviving the post. Aunty Nancy is doing her best to out-do Hyena's Legacy.

'Praise Caine' chant used to drown out anyone who disagreed or suggested alternative agenda.
Special Bus Squad formed under the leadership of Big Rodgers of Trashed, Lost and Strung-Out with the intention to diablerise the Campire Elder. Many jump on board the bus. Buster sneaks off later when it appears that the proverbial is about to hit the fan.

Special bus makes it trough all obstacles. Mobile camera footage of innocent civilian on Special Bus being tasered by police uploaded to YouTube.

More stakings and frenzies at the Runcorn Tavern result in final death for Tommy by Thorne. Thorne staked and packed into boot of car by Azazel along with another freshly arrived in Brisbane and just staked vampire.
Police chase of known cop killer Azazel who was attempting to chase down a frenzying neonate, ends with a bitten cop and Azazel gunned down by a police squad.
Bonebreakers and Medvet' Blok packs played clean up and hide the evidence of frenzy, and later recover assorted bodies with the assistance of Inquisitor Ezekiel, and a mysterious wall of fog that appeared and blacked out the city.
