The Athens Chronicles

Book One: Titanomachy

The Athens Chronicles is an epic series of Vampire: The Masquerade stories taking your characters from the 13th century to the 21st, beginning in the Dark Ages. The five chronicle series this begins will release one new book each month, allowing you to play out the full series of events as we go or catch up at any time. Books one, two, and three are designed for the 20th Anniversary Edition of Dark Ages Vampire: The Masquerade. Book four will move into Victorian era, with book five in the Modern/Final Nights.

Athens Chronicles One: Titanomachy launches our tale, plunging young and inexperienced Greek vampires into political and physical action in one of the oldest, most consequential cities in the world. Athens is ruled by a triumvirate of “archons”, ancient Cainites who rule as wisely as creatures of the night can. However, the drums of war are pounding, and uprisings are becoming common in the late Byzantine Empire. Play through the fall of Athens to the Ottoman Empire and see the old order replaced by the Ashirra, the oldest Sect of vampires on earth. Witness the rise of the Anarch movement as it twists into the fanatical Sabbat.

This is only the beginning. The Athens Chronicles explores the most important moments in vampiric political history, thrusting Player Characters from the cradle of democracy into delicate negotiations they’re just barely capable of handling, up against the most important and powerful characters in the Vampire metaplot. In the end they’ll witness the Final Nights as elders, with the wisdom of ages and a number of terrifying experiences under their belts. Will they be better for it, or will they be the very tyrants they’ve spent 800 years fighting against?

This is a Year of the Tide book and series, focused on the important events occurring on the Mediterranean.
