Dark City VSS
The Thirteenth Hour
Domain Code: MO-028-D

“"Near purged of Kindred during the 1930s, the Great Plains have only rebuilt their unliving population during the last three decades. Kansas City and St. Louis, in particular, have heavy vampiric populations. The large number of Kindred in Kansas City is at least understandable; given the wholesale slaughter of cattle that is one of the city's main industries. St. Louis, on the other hand, is more of a puzzle, particular since its Camarilla contingent is heavily tilted towards Brujah and Nosferatu."

- A World of Darkness: Second Edition, page 8.
Description: The Great St. Louis Metropolitan Area is home to several Camarilla vampires who reside in St. Louis City and County. The surrounding area is housed by Unaligned vampires of all stripes, relying on the Camarilla Hub for its continued growth and survival. The distinctly Italian section of the city called, The Hill, was granted to Clan Giovanni in 1904 during the World’s Fair and, while that clan is now a part of the IA, The Hill remains gifted to Clan Giovanni alone.

VSS Boundaries: Franklin, Lincoln, Marion, Pike, Ralls, Warren, St. Charles, St. Louis Counties and St. Louis City in Missouri along with Monroe, Calhoun, Jersey, Madison, Pike, and St. Clair Counties in Illinois.
