About
|
The Phoenix area has seen quite the gamut of Kindred activity over the last century or so. It started back in 1881, when the Camarilla first established a Praxis in the blossoming city. Within a couple of decades, the Sabbat began constantly vying for control of the frontier location. As if that were not enough, the Anarch Movement carved out the area of Buckeye for their own in 1920. Tensions between the Anarch Movement and the Camarilla spun on for several decades, finally coming to rest in 1980. All the while, the Sabbat were preparing for an assault - the attack came in 2001, weakening the city drastically. In 2011, the Camarilla aided the Anarchs in the assault on Tombstone. The battle was won, however both the Tower and the Movement suffered great losses. As if this weren't enough - the Second Inquisition burned through Phoenix in 2014, targeting both the Anarchs and the Camarilla. Very few survivors were left. A clever Kindred by the name of Emanuel De Garza moved in quickly and consolidated his power to claim the city for the Independent Alliance in 2018. Prince De Garza has spent the last two years calling in all the Independent Allance that he could to create a stronghold in the Southwest for the new Sect. As part of his reign, he has started the tradition of the Independence Night. This is a celebration held every year on July 21st to commemrorate the founding of the Phoenix court and the continued freedom that all Independent Allance members live in. All are welcome at this event, including outsiders so long as they abide by the sect and domain laws. His belief is that everyone should be able to see and experience the Freedom that the Independent Allance provides, if even only for a night.

Local Laws
- Those not among the Independent Alliance are guests of the city. If they are approved by the Prince, then they are not to be physically harmed during their stay within our city - without the Prince's consent.
- If an individual not of the Independent Alliance harms an Independent Alliance member outside of self-defense, they will have all of their privileges of acceptance revoked.
- If a member of the Independent Alliance harms an outsider outside of self-defense, that Independent Alliance member will be in debt to the Prince for accosting his guest.
- If an individual not of the Independent Alliance harms an Independent Alliance member outside of self-defense, they will have all of their privileges of acceptance revoked.
- The Prince recognizes the following positions within his Domain
- Harlequin - This position will act as it did in courts of old. This position is encouraged to speak openly to the Prince about his decisions and plans. Other members of the court can speak freely through the Harlequin, within reason, and the Harlequin can speak without fear of reprisal, as long as they are respectful in their approach.
- Sentinel - This position will be in charge of maintaining and protecting the important locations of the Domain, like the Elysium and Spazio Creativo. They will act much like the position of Keeper from the Camarilla with a broader scope of what they protect.
Notable Locations
Elysia
- Completed in 1914, Saint Mary's Basilica has the distinction of being the longest standing Elysium of the Phoenix domain. Intially utilized by the Camarilla court, it has served for over a century in this fashion. Through the shadow wars waged by the Sabbat, the tension between the Anarchs and the Camarilla and the eventual taking of the Domain by the Independent Alliance - Saint Mary's has stood as a revered location of peace to all Kindred who gaze upon it.
Elysium Traits: Intimidating Ground, Quarantined and Universal Acceptance
The Laws of Elysium
- The Elysium and its contents are sacrosanct and shall not be damaged. None may destroy art located within Elysium.
- The Sentinel’s word is law on these grounds, and she can traditionally punish or even execute anyone who violates Elysium without running afoul of the Traditions.
- Elysium is considered neutral, sanctified ground: separate from sect or politics. Any vampire is welcome, regardless of her sect or political standing.
- Violence of any kind is strictly forbidden upon Elysium grounds.
- No supernatural powers are permitted to be used on the grounds of Elysium. Those who have an appearance which may threaten the Masquerade are encouraged to continue using Obfuscate to avoid disturbing the other guests. This is the only exception.
- No weapons may be brought onto Elysium grounds.
- No one may attempt to inflame the Beast of themselves or another while on Elysium grounds.
- If a vampire brings a non-vampiric (or one who has not been acknowledged) guest to Elysium, she is responsible for that guest’s behavior.
- The presence of Moon-beasts (werewolves), Wild Ones (fae) or Will Workers (mages) are forbidden.
- All hunting is prohibited in the area surrounding an Elysium.
