Covenants

Much of the city politics is covenant, rather than clan, driven. The current political landscape is driven by conflict which expresses this dichotomy of clan versus covenant.

Lancea Sanctum (LS)

Led by Genevieve, and boasting 4 members including 2 other clan elders, the Sanctified are not to be trifled with. They have held the office of Prince as long as there has been one in Seattle. They are not without scandal, but there has been peace for many years under their leadership.

Invictus (I)

Under Simeon Blades guidance the Invictus have grown in number and influence over the years. Their covenant is the only one nearly as populous or powerful as Lancea Sanctum.

Circle of the Crone (CoC)

Simone is the only member, so it isnt much of a political faction, more of an ideological stance.

Carthians (C)

Again a covenant of one, Sam puts his ideals to work in the realm of the kine and rarely plays political games within kindred society.

Ordo Dracul (OD)

As an organization based on knowledge, research and self discovery, the Dragons politic mostly to ensure their ability to do what they believe is not hampered. Elena is clever, however, and does what is necessary to ensure they have strength to take what they need and hold what they have.

Unaligned (U)

Jericho and Jacqueline stay out of covenant politics for their own reasons. Rafael Pope has recently awakened from torpor and is likely to end up in a covenant sooner or later, or even create one of his own devising.

Domains

Each of the kindred in the city maintains his own domain, generally discussed on their own page. Outside of the city Washington is made up of 6 separate domains: Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Yakima, Spokane and everything else. The Prince of Seattle maintains domain over all of Seattle proper, plus east to Issaquah, north to Snohomish County, west to the water and south to Federal Way.

Elysium

Seattle has a rich artistic tradition and many areas of elysium. Besides the SAM, Pike Place Market is also an area of freedom.

Current Politics

After the feud between Simone and Petrovsky blew up, and Blade strong-armed Genevieve into declaring blood hunts on them both, war between the Invictus and Lancea Sanctum seemed inevitable. So far, an uneasy stalemate is limping along, threatening to die at any moment.
