Elysium Nights Theater Timeline

Last update 3/27/07.

02-17-07: The night started as the past two months have with no prince, a curfew and the threat of marshal law. Lou Faffa claimed princeship and assigned roles to members of the city. The Toreador's party was a hit with very nice prizes: a mask, a key and others. Troy, of clan Gangrel, was turned into a giant raccoon who promptly terrorized the city, or at least it's trash cans. Wraith attacks continue with the spotting of a glass Gollum and two warriors, as well as the sun appearing in the Casino. Buzzkill came to the Elysium to announce the reopening of the Arena complete with competitions and prizes.
01-27-07: Our January gather saw much more wraith activity and the reintroduction of the bomb to the city. The Nos claim to have found the Brujah Archon but it wasn't exactly him. In the mean time the Malkavian Archon appeared and attacked some visiting Giovanni. If that wasn't enough Mr. Faffa's haven was attacked by the 'orange bandanna' squad and two of them were executed, much to Mr. Whisper chagrin. The gargoyle was left live due to the insistence of Mr. Everdean. Chess pieces are abound, but no one knows why. Tracy makes her regular appearance but no one knows why either. This city is a mystery and even more so are it's citizens.
12-26-06: The Night opened once again without our prince. Mr. Faffa delayed opening meeting but soon Mr. Wayne arrived and the evening began. Shortly into the night Archon Serguiso arrived along with the Brujah Archon and began planning the retrieval of the nuclear bomb. The bomb was located over the month by the Archon and several of the members of the city. The capture of the bomb went as planned and surprisingly well. Once the bomb was retrieved the Archons took it away to dispose of it. More chess pieces have appeared and it is rumored that a full set is floating around. Lou Faffa announced that next gather would see an auction with some very interesting and sought after items.
11-18-06: The night began with a delayed gathering. The prince was no where to be found but thankfully our Senashal, Mr. Faffa, quickly took the reigns and introduced the night The Prince's absence was noted by all and upsetting to some. A man in a gold vest calling himself Mr. Everhart was despondent with the prince and made it known. Ms. Martyn, however, wouldn't let this stop her acquisition of the city news paper, now an all Kindred paper. She is also offering a prize for the best name, few entries impressed her. The night was also marked by two redneck Kindred and their ghouled-bear tearing up the Elysium though thanks to the swift action of the citizens no trace was found. Mr. Broc, of the sabbat, showed for the auction with his long coveted cane. He revealed that the Macon Sabbat had been slain by him and his cronies. Archons moved in and out of the Elysium through the night. More information was sought about the Nuclear weapon and desperation to find it was running high. Several members of the city were purported to have gone into the Umbra to find the weapon.
10-21-06: It was the night of the three kings. The first king offered apathy which shone as weakness. The second king offered us rule but the iron fist wasn't supported. The third king offered us a way out. As the night began the citizens of this city were greeted by Prince Simon who was greeted no so much with applause but sighs. He then turned the city over to Zyzzx the Gangrel who quickly appointed his leadership amongst a rain of criticism. Archon Serguso brought ill news of a plot by hunters to disrupt not just the city but the globe with nuke. Big-bada-boom. Again Elysium proved less sanctuary and more pigeonhole to direct hostility into as attacks commenced early in the evening but an unknown but supposedly sabbat group. Then, without much surprise, the Prince-ship was usurped from the Gangrel Prince by one Mr. Wayne of clan Ventrue. This, of course, in turn led to a fight and our former Prince Zyzzx was ash'd. During the night a couple of citizens were taken and replaced by doppelgangers. All were returned safe by the end of the night but much like your luggage from the airline: just a little banged up. There was also a black clad figure wandering around Elysium grounds though no one is sure who it was. Oh yeah, and apparently the grease spot on the Casino floor attempted to rob the place. One person was shot who reported that it 'kinda itches a little'.
11-26-05: A new guy is going around asking people for suggestions about how to investigate his new tattoo. Scott (as he reported his name) was showing off his tattoo to everybody who'd look. It said, "I will find Lanier Beraque." Well, alrighty then. Apparently by his report he's recently in from Boston, and he just tonight happened to wake up in a crate wearing the crate.
10-8-05: There were reports that the Prince was forming Sabbat battle plans in the Primogen meeting. This is a problem for turning the city's Primogen against the Prince, since the Prince's ignorng the Sabbat threat was one of the main reasons they were vocally unhappy. At least it could potentially mean more Cam-Sabbat combat.
9-17-05: Influences in Atlanta seem to be under heavy strain. Not much real activity is able to be conducted. Anarchs are feeding local drunks some kindred blood to cause trouble.
8-6-05: A man named Brock Samson has been making a lot of inquiries. Apparently Ser Kyle made some kind of deal with the Sabbat, but hasn't been holding up his end. They must be pissed if they are willing to try something like this.
7-16-05: MechaDynaTechiMegaCorp has been slowly siphoning off all sorts of money and influences under the nose of everyone in the city. Actions over the month are seeming to fail without reason. A local drug lord was running from the cops and stashed his drugs in the air duct of a local theater. He was later caught and the drugs were not recovered. Later that day the theater started showing the movies and the drugs went through the vents. The movie was hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Different reports came back based on how much of the drug they took in and how much they felt they had been "in" the movie.
6-26-05: The Harpies have found a new leader, possessed by their former master, the Lich. They are ready to have their revenge. The new leader is a Harpy possessed by the Lich’s spirit. It is leading them towards creating a giant bone monster to attack the Elysium.
5-21-05: The mystical convergence wave was the result of a major magic battle that occurred in Iraq. The players are unknown as is the result. The magic battle was the result of two major mage sects attempting to gain an ancient artifact. The artifact however was controlled by a cabal of ancient blood line vampires that founded the Sabbat. The resultant wave shifted the paradigm of substantial powers to their known forms. What they had been is unknown.
4-16-05: Everyone in the south seems to have these stupid rocks. Maybe we should get colored pens and turn them into pet rocks. Oh yeah, that didn’t work in the 80’s either. There is still a warmth from the rocks. You sense a lingering magical essence. But the rock still feels like a rock. You can sense that they were directed toward certain places. Their target still seems unclear. Maybe the discovery of other magical items will make the path clearer.
3-26-05: Wendy Dawson’s Child, Lanier, in town. Strange meteor rocks drawn to the earth with strange magics. Stories of Sabbat, or winged beast ladies, or Werewolves attack a train. Father Louis Belmont destroyed. Rumors of a 14 year old kindred willing to do whatever to gain power.
2-19-05: Mysterious Rose appears on the hilltop near the Elysium. Has a strange calming effect on those around it and draws them near. (Grotto of the Virgin on the coast of Italy has a similar effect.) City reports sighting of a HUGE Werewolf and indications are that Garou activity up around town. Local Sabbat return to Athens. To rebuild their ranks?
1-15-05: Unknown kindred seen decapitating other kindred and burning the bodies in the city. The bodies produce a screeching noise when destroyed in this manor. The perpetrator seems to have the ability to step into …nothing? Could he be some sort of Mage person? He appears in the city and identifies himself as Harry Keogh--reveals treatment for the parasites found to be glow sticks, garlic, and fire. More shadow creatures in the sewers. Doppelganger finally found and slain. Was this the one who killed Ms Lucy Bernard?
12-18-04: Parasites identified as a collective entity infecting Kindred and dominating their actions. Shadowy black slug things…hehehe Mysterious trio not seen as much in the city these days. Have they completed their task? News shows that a child has gone missing. Local papers show pictures of the missing girl named Stephanie. The force field area continues to grow. About 1 mile around the building now. The building is owned by one Mr. J. High museum moved to its new location on Ponce de Leon
11-20-04: Kindred in Atlanta "infected" with some strange parasite. It seems to be spreading! On the other hand, with a giant sigh and a gasp, something great and powerful has left Atlanta---in fact She Who Is the Darkness has left Atlanta seeking her kin in Greece. The one formerly known as Zane is who she seeks.
10-23-04: Assamite hunter and doppelganger till in city. IBM tower has a little trouble. Star magazine front page: hideous creature reported to be seen talking with ghostly woman with long black hair. Mysterious trio still conducting investigation of elder Kindred of Atlanta--questions seem to focus on Prince, Ser Kyle. Strange force field found around a building downtown that only affects certain kindred--grows in size over the course of the month. Native American , scepter, prophecy now reveal ties to She Who Is the Darkness.
9-18-04: Unknown kindred trio still in the city and making big splashes where ever they go. She is looking for an Alexia? something? Book of Shedoken surfaces then disappears. Symbols of the Etowah mounds recount an ancient prophecy regarding 4 gods and the end of the world. Native American culture again in the interest of the city. State Park parking pass sales on the rise. Doppelganger and his hunter still in the city.
8-21-04: Enlightened kine still being questioned about elder kindred in the city. Unknown trio of vampires seen all over town, 2 males and stunningly beautiful woman. She claims to be an official of the Camarilla. Bloody murder--local coffee shop was the home of a small blood bath when meth dealers try to take over each others teritory. Winners slain by unknown machine gunners.
7-17-04: Unknown vampires around the city avoiding the locals. Enlightened kine are being questioned about elder kindred of the city. Some kindred approached as well. Doppelganger still reported to be in the city. Rise in interest in the Native American's that used to live around the city and the mysterious enemy referred by them as the Lurkers beyond the Threshold. Those with Auspex notice both kindred and kine with a strange new *purple sparkle* in their aura. Takor, former prince of the city of Atlanta who was dethroned in hours once it was revealed he was Sabbat, though to be back in the city and auctioning off kindred blood.
6-19-04: Doppelganger in the city as well as a hunter that tracks him. The hunter is known as a mute Assamite. Former street gang members seen around the city but act if they have no idea who they were. Brainwashing suspected. Large creatures seen in the sewers with the ability to alter their form at will. Lost kindred, reward if found. Answers to the name Lanier One kindred report...Nightmares? Dreams of slithering in a primordial world. Power hungers. and more powerful abilities like none have seen before. Occult world rumored to foretell about a great cosmic event approaching. from an old prophecy foretold around 333bc by a mad monk in Tibet. Local Setite temple raided and destroyed.
5-15-04: Street gangs on a decline as it seems members are disappearing. War ghoul abominations found in lower levels of the sewers. They seem to be looking for something. Floating man also found in the sewers.
4-17-04: Tremere lord Abercrombie’s goons aggressively take blood from some of the Atlanta kindred. Uneasiness felt as a change in shadow magic seems to be taking place. Possible crypt of a powerful Tremere ritualist found in Virginia highlands. Lost rituals performed by this Tremere may surface soon.
3-20-04: Hunter's influences questioned about his location. Apparently he was the subject of some sort of covert investigation. Nightmares plague members of the city. Sewer creatures grow in size and strangeness--still amalgams of multiple creatures. Sanitation workers missing.
2-21-04: Random parts of animals and humans found near exits of the sewers. There was a Dobbins Air Force Base fiasco. Allegedly, a couple of soldiers simply took a hummer for a joyride and both arrived back at base. Shortly thereafter one quickly disappeared. A handful of irresponsible Kindred ran a circus of breachable incidents at the local water treatment plant incident. security guards on drugs, pentacles painted on the side of the security shack in feces. And something about a dark prince of Atlanta named Kyle caught on camera from the local news crews.
1-17-04: Mrs. Lucy's death and her childe Linus a hot topic in Kindred circles--has he mobilized all of Athens? Hard to recon since Ms. Lucy was the scourge of the Athens Sabbat, working underground for their fall. Rats are back in the sewers but now in abundance. In fact, they've mutated to the size of a small child with wings, slits for eyes, horns, tentacles on its chest. and sharp claws on what appear to be hands.
12-20-03: Reports of a Salubri in Atlanta--could this be Valin who had 20 vampires with him? Where is he now? Freddy still being tracked in the city--boy is he annoying! Ohmigosh! 500 vampires underground with Valin!. Something about a process? What is it? New clan? But in the sewer, animals are missing. Down in their depths, nothing but the trickle of rainwater can be heard--too quite for comfort. Body parts from an ectoplasmic person? Then suddenly, whines and moans 24 hours a day. Nosferatu go after Freddy but he escapes. Book with ritual to prevent staking found.
11-15-03: Archons present Atlanta Kindred with a medallion. Freddy again being tracked Nosferatu go after Freddy but he escapes. Uneasiness is felt in the sewers--no definite location or thing. On the plus side, human security has been beefed up at the Elysium, making it more secure from Kine and, to some small extent, as many Kindred who don't belong as possible.
10-25-03: Freddy the Fish is roaming the Elysium, making his most annoying presence felt by many of Atlanta's Kindred.
9-20-03: California's Hell Razors arruve ub in Carrolton, GA. Armor of Vlad the Impaler in possession of Mr. Punch. He was seen walking around in it. Chances are there is something ominous about the red glowing skull--is it tied to the hunters? Black wolf seen again in Atlanta but it quickly disappears inthe fog. Partial vampires that have the same abilities as vampires with out the detriments are roaming the back streets of Atlanta--are they also tied to the hunters?
8-16-03: Linus Jacob appears in town from Athens to demand retribution from the Kindred of Atlanta for the death of his sire, Lucy Bernard. Threatens retribution on all involved in the coverup of her murder. The pack in Athens is headed up by Alexi Vorstahl. Let's not go into Athens, the Sabbat are fucking crazy and would just straight up make us them. They wouldn't piss around for five months in a committee to decide that they should do something, but take another five months to decide what to do. They would just find us and kill us. Let’s take care of the Cam ticks first. The Demon "Stand" is expunged from his temple in the sewers.
7-19-03: Large black wolf seen around town. Anarch pack known as the Hell Razors led by "Slash" rumored to be heading to Atlanta from California. Sword of Dracula appears in Atlanta and seems to exhibit extraordinary attributes.
6-21-03: Atlanta has a new prince--Prince Nicodemus. Construction in the city continues to flow as the 17,000new jobs started in April continue to progress. Somewhere in Atlanta is a villain called The Possessor. Magic residue was found on a diary---more info needed. And the ever-present rumors of Ghennea and Antidiluvians
5-17-03: The mysterious events in occult circles (hunters) have been quietly attracting other occult attention. These hunters seem to be only interested in killing supernatural beings (as opposed to domination or diplomacy). They are ruthless and display no sympathy once a target has been judged as damned. Some say that at least a couple of the hunters' targets have gone out of their way to mock Irish and Catholic custom and legend. At least one of the hunters is known to be able to be a remote viewer. Some classified component of the government seems to be getting involved in identifying the hunters. Perhaps there is some rivalry here?
4-19-03: With Ghostdancer still out of town, allegedly in Chicago conducting some business, things were in chaos throughout the city. A mysterious invitation to a "circus" lured Kindred residents to a into a trap concocted by some unknown rouge Tremere. A number of Kindred participated in major a confrontation with an uknown assailant resulting in major Masquerade breaches in the lobby of Atlanta's Hilton hotel (which was quickly discredited as being the spectacular finale of the formerly mentioned circus). And, to cap the evening off, a Praxis Siezure resulted in Atlanta having yet another Prince, one Sebastian Morte of Clan Brujah.
3/15/03: With Ghostdancer's absence, Vicktor Rhyshenko, the Seneschal, lead the city. That is until he was torpored by the Sheriff, Frank Jackson. Zane Natakis survived a Challenge Match in the Areana against an Archon, despite the intervention of a number of Setite infiltrators.
2/15/03: ( Pending )
1/18/03: An archaeological dig is begun in Atlanta, funded by various international organizations and governments. The ruins of some sort of temple are discovered among the lower levels of the sewers.
12/21/02: Toreador Garvin McDowell steps down as Prince for personal reasons. His appointed successor is Ghostdancer, Gangrel.
11/16/02: The Sabbat have returned to our city. A couple of weeks ago, over 140 kine were killed at a local sporting match. The results of an investigation of this event has pointed towards visitors from Athens. A group of us visited Athens to investigate a new pack - we captured two and killed two. In addition, the hunters' skill has been increasing. Be on the lookout for men dressed in black combat gear wielding stakes. The Milan mission was a great success. We will be resuming the "she of the darkness" investigation with the information and material retrieved from this mission. Finally, we are still covering up the airport debacle from last month. The city owes Carter and Sebatian thanks for their assistance in this matter.
10/19/02: Our October meeting was interesting, to say the least. Issues with supernatural forces we are still unsure their origin, unknown but helpful (to be determined) astral figures, and black spiral dancers were the major issues of the evening. To the best of my information, we only suffered one loss of the evening, and that was an internal police matter. Thorne, previous primogen of Nosferatu, violated Domain and was captured. After a discussion with the Nosferatu, we felt that the city would be best served by Thorne's destruction. Several citizens have been investigating the "blud" and "protocola" situation(s). In addition, there are several citizens that were very helpful in investigation of the many issues that have confronted us recently.
8/24/02: August has brought a few unpleasant situations to us. An unknown malkavian bloodbonding kine through drugs, hunters attacking the elysium, and "she of the darkness" agents attacking tombs. Luckily the hunters were easily eliminated and we still maintain certain advantages over the "darkness" agents. The bloodbonding, hunters and new "darkness" information are being investigated. If you are able to assist these investigations, get in touch with myself or your Primogen.
7/27/02: Our previous Seneschal Sarah of the Gangrel has been unable to commit the necessary time to the city and has stepped down. She has been replaced by Ghostdancer of the Gangrel. Several apparently enlighted police officers visited our elysium and politely informed us of a masquerade breach. Unfortunately, the city administration was dealing with the "she of the darkness" situation and no one collected more information about the officers or the breach. If you have more information about these items, please inform your Primogen or myself as soon as possible. If the involved party steps forward to inform us of the situation and any mitigating circumstances, we will see what we can work out. On the other hand, if I have to expend unnecessary resources to find the guilty parties, I will be less generous. Punishment will reflect the honesty of the involved party.
6/22/02: June has brought us additional information about our local hunters (1150 club etc) and the "She Who Is the Darkness" situation. We suffered no losses and gained some information about both events. Unfortunately, we still do not have enough information about either to conclude either. Volunteers were requested to investigate both of these issues between meetings.
5/25/02: The most significant item of citywide impact was that from the regional Justicar. Even though the honorable Justicar has halted any assistance with our Camarilla, we will continue our normal business and continue our border conflicts with the Athens sabbat. The Anarchs were quite supportive of our position and Mr. Punch came up with a few very positive ideas. Should these plans work out, our Camarilla and Anarch populations may begin to work much closer with one another. There is a book that is believed to contain information on one of our current "situations" known as "She Who Is the Darkness" which is rumored to be in Nosferatu possession, even though only the Tremere have the resources to read and interpret the information within.
4/27/02: A tzimisce infiltrator was found, tested, and destroyed. The garou situation is being investigated. The situation with the garou who attacked the Tremere last month was resolved by Regent Carter. The hunter situation is likewise being investigated and is not expected to be a major threat to us. A childer who violated the masquerade was destroyed. The "She Who Is the Darkness" situation has been put on hold because of the lack of information. Liv and Ameris of clan Gangrel have chosen to forgo the Prince's Hospitality. While we have a positive relationship with certain anarchs, I remind you all that they lack protection of our city.
3/16/02: Our March meeting was rather busy, ranging from updated terminology to handling hunter and garou attacks. Over the evening, we decided on a few terminology changes. If you are in a unsecure area, it was strongly urged that everyone to use terms which hopefully will reduce mortal interest. The Kindred of the city were attacked by a well organized group of hunters. Interestingly enough, the hunters detected us quite some time ago - our recent discretion has served us well and any future masquerade breaches will continue to be severely punished. The Tremere were attacked by a pack of garou. While this attack disrupted the clan for the evening, no Tremere were destroyed and one garou was destroyed. Our sabbat investigation continues thanks to Primogen support and some information from the Justicar. There have been no changes in Camarilla or Anarch representatives or business.
2/16/02: The cast of NightWings performed their newest production, "Sleepy Kitty," which was very favorably received by the assembled crowd. Nothing further was discovered about Reynald's assassin, but information was received concerning the activities of the Athens Sabbat. There are several new denizens in the Atlanta area, including stories of a new Garou presence. The Camarilla will be a presence in Atlanta in the form of Alexander Stark, the owner of both the Crystal Amaranth and the Casino. Hancock has departed Atlanta but Anarchs will still be represented by Jack Darden.
1/19/02: The night was mostly quiet. The evening began when Reynald was attacked in the Elysium. He escaped, but was staked and put to Final Death by another assassin. The assassin was later destroyed. Garvin, having been censored by the Camarilla, steps down as Prince. He is unanimously supported as Prince by the Primogen and retakes the Princeship. Additionally, "The Horror of OZ" was enacted by the award-winning acting troupe "NightWings" and was well received by the audience.
12/1/01: The end of the first year of the new millenium was thankfully slow and mostly peaceful. A local Anarch presence entered the city with Hancock as their representative. Later that evening, an Anarch was put to final death for using vampiric powers in Elysium. With the Sabbat presence destroyed, the city enjoyed a quiet evening.
11/2001: A full scale assault against a Sabbat Haven and against the New York Sabbat. Many Sabbat are slain. Rumors indicating that Alexi and his Gargoyle were among those killed. Riala, Nosferatu Primogen and Elder is found to be a Setite and an infiltrator. Prince Garvin McDowell himself Diablerizes her in front of many witnesses when she is found to be of 7th generation...
10/2001: An invitation only Holloween Party is held. Camarilla on heightened alert when Chen Wa's personal haven is attacked by combined forces of NY and Athens Sabbat. Chen Wa escapes and flees the city. Primogen unanimously choose Garvin McDowell as new Prince to replace the impotent Chen Wa. Garvin rallying forces to deal with 'Sabbat War'.
09/2001: A Sabbat incursion. Astral Projector Sergei proves to be quite an annoyance. One Sabbat is recognized and slain. A prominent figure, Magnus killed in retaliation. Prince Chen Wa nowhere to be found. Atlanta residents seeking Archon assistance.
08/2001:Chen Wa's reign continues. A Malkavian Toga Party is held? Rumors of a Sabbat takeover of Stone Mountain lead some Kindred to go in search of Sabbat. Several Sabbat are slain and rumors of outright war spring up.
07/2001: Chen Wa assumes power. Some new policies bode that we may have the first hardline Camarilla Prince. An auction of rare and even some mystical items is held in the casino. Much money changes hands. A contingent of kindred go to Stone Mountain to help Garou against a Black Spiral Dancer incursion and meets with limited success. Last Man Standing Tournament is held and declared quite a success.
06/2001: Things seemingly run smoothly at the new elysium. A possible new treaty with the
