Whispering Hopes


We down on the Bayou. This ain’t no "True Blood" shit here. -Swamp Nos Bob

Baton Rouge Proper, seat of Louisiana’s government power and one of the Oldest Cities, and a long standing home of Vampires…… until recently. There has always been a strong vampire presence throughout its history. The heart of Baton Rouge has been a robust Camarilla Stronghold with an uneasy, but necessary treaty with the Elderly Independent Alliance, even before they formed officially. That is until The Beckoning. The Independent Alliance all but vanished overnight. The Tower noticeably quaked at the loss of its stable base pillars. The Second Inquisition, in the form of local hunter groups, eradicated most of the young who were reckless to cover their tracks…..

Where once there were large numbers of vampires that called the Red Stick home, now they are but a dwindling few. Whispered hopes of the Sects establishing there footing again. Who shall rise with the tide of the Mighty Mississippi?
