Lion at the End

This chronicle will take place on the island of, in the country of, and in the city of Singapore with possible explorations out into the surrounding Malaysian and Indonesian countryside.Transient mages and artifacts cause problems for the unbending leadership of the current Hierarch and the Seer influence in the city is almost complete. The graduation of the PCs into full mage status may be the tipping for change in the Lion City.

The Game Standard character creation with no extra bells or whistles. It would be good to have an idea of where you want to go, specifically what Legacy you want to move toward. A strong character concept with a short background is also desired. There’s no need for a lengthy background. Any important relationships, obstacles, and desires that the player wants to explore should be covered in the background. Those three things should take precedence. If it’s in the background it will be used.

A Brief City Overview The country of Singapore is young, but the city and its surroundings have been part of major trade schemes for more than 800 years. Some mages believe that the island of Singapore and surrounding environs to have once been Atlantis or a part of it. Whether it was once the Island of the Awakened will continue to be a matter of debate. What is not up for debate is the strong presence of magic in the area. Hallows permeate the island and city, but a thorough program of tight controls and city building these Hallows have been dampened in their strength.

The cabals and factions within the city attempt to control and/or free these weakened pools of magic as well as exploiting the other resources of the city. Being a major trade route for the Fallen World means that many artifacts have passed through Singapore’s ports. It has also become a major hub of activity with its lenient policies concerning non-resident foreigners and foreign companies. Because of this large number of transient mage cabals and renegade mages pass through the city. This has had a substantial effect on mage society with the city.

The city Hierarch, Magister, is not loved by most cabals. He makes sure that the mage community stays under the government’s radar in any manner in takes. The Singapore of the World of Darkness is even more brutal and totalitarian in its actions than in our world and because of this the Hierarch keeps those under his influence in similar control. He has already begun molding his replacement for role of Hierarch. With access to one of the few unmolested Hallows in the city and the only non-disrupted ley lines, Magister is able to keep the power of other Mages in the city unchecked. The dynamics of the city being a major thoroughfare in the mundane and Supernal world has caused a slight disruption to his plots and schemes. A situation that the PCs now find themselves in a position to take advantage of one way or another.
