Description on Chubfrom Chub

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and is the ancient holy city. It is a hot pot of supernatural factions, and here being a part of the same sect means nothing.

Lorebook contains over 20 locations, groups and many NPC.

Vampire: Jerusalem remains a city where no single sect truly rules. Camarilla holds the most power, centered in the New City and international quarter. Its prince, while a zionist, presents himself as a mediator and diplomat between sects. Ashirra holds the Old City’s Muslim and Christian Quarters. They don't have a single ruler and don't recognize prince's power. They don't allow Camarilla into their territory freely, only by invitation. Sabbat is led by the legendary salubri, but has no real influence. They only come here to visit the pit in Valley of Hinnom, that supposedly is a resting place of Malkav who causes Jerusalem Syndrome. There is also a fourth power - Leopards of Zion. They are radical Jewish Assamites acting as avengers. They naturally hate Ashirra, not interested in Sabbat, and only have ties with some chosen Camarilla kindred, like the prince.

Werewolf: Jerusalem is strongly Weaverish city since its creation, and Wyrm has power only in the pit. Garou have two septs here - one in Mount of Olives and another in Great Synagogue. They are trying to prevent the enity in the pit from rising and turning the city into engine of despair. Garou don't take sides in conflict of humans, but it's hard - they have families on both sides.

Mage: Modern chinese government is very technocratic and abhors any form of traditional magic. But trads dwelled here long before Order of Reason existed and it's nearlly impossible to purge them fully. Cult Of Ecstasy, Akashic Brotherhood, Wu Lung are main forces here. Though, Wu Lung got split - many of it's members have formed a Hermetic chantry here. Since Union can't just brainwash people, it threw all its power to massive propaganda and control of the capital.

Changeling: Filastin is the Caliphate's most painful and most precious Wilayet. Jinn here live the double life in its most extreme form. They are the main kithain here, but many western changelings are drawn here too, mostly those who want to fight.

Hunter: The Jerusalem cenaculum is the Society of Leopold's only permanent outpost in the Middle East, and it has operated with considerable independence from Rome since its founding in the 13th century. They have access to relics and texts unavailable anywhere else. The Jerusalem Arcanum chapter house is the central one. This self‑image is a constant source of friction. Western Arcanists treat it as a glorified office, local Arcanists consider it the actual heart of the order.

Demon: Jerusalem has one of the highest sources of faith. Unfortunately, the holy ground is deadly for demons. Logically, there should be no demons at all. Yet, the most radical Faustians managed to create a ground of corrupted faith here - or, simply speaking, the foreign faith not accepted by the local one. And Malkav is center to their plan.
