Description on Chubfrom Chub

Heraklion is the largest city and the administrative capital of the island of Crete. Here, the ancient horrors stir beneath the earth.

Lorebook contains over 20 locations, groups and many NPC.

Vampire: Camarilla rules Heraklion as a unified domain under a single Prince, with all Kindred of Crete sworn to his authority. It is a very peaceful and somewhat boring domain, mostly dominated by Toreador clan who call Crete one of their homes. But malkavian primogen started to spread rumors that one of the methuselah will soon awaken and will demand tribute from all kindred on the island. But what is the creature is already awaken and right under their noses? And what if... it's Arikel herself?

Werewolf: Greece is the place of origin of the Black Furies. Their oldest caerns are there, and one of them could be found on Mount Ida. Furies held it alone its entire history until 20 years ago, when Stargazers left Garou Nation and fled East. But some of them stayed and found acceptance among ferocious traditionalists. Greek Furies still practice the oldest rites - the ones that can easily unnerve other garou.

Mage: Traditions in Heraklion are very strong. Order of Hermes, Cult of Ecstasy and Euthanatoi call it one of their founding homes. They work closely together, trying to help people of this land.
Technocracy, on the other hand, maintains a very small presence. Their only goal is to prevent Greek economy from collapsing. And, frankly, Syndicate is not doing a good job. But they aren't the only magical power here. Sisters of Hippolyta, one of the oldest nature cults originates here. They operate separately from the Traditions and fight Technocracy in business fields.

Changeling: Ah, Hellenic Empire - the glorious old days. It is the only monarchy in the world not ruled by sidhe, but by numerous native kiths instead. Though, Crete stands out here. It is ruled by a sidhe who paints herself as a friend of commoners and advocate for the equality. She promotes her subjects for their skills, not their blood. But many kithain don't believe in her sincerity. Because she is of the House Ailil.

Hunter: Greece is the origin of an obscure group of hunters - Akritai. Similar to Society of Leopold, these Orthodox hunters swore their lives for the endless battle against the night horrors. Unlike SoL, they favor sorcerers.
