Biggest Little City
The city of Reno and its closest neighbor, Sparks, are in relative isolation. The nearest population center of a greater size is Sacramento, CA; 130 miles west. Reno's nearest neighbors, other than Sparks, are no less than 25 miles away. This makes the city ideal in many ways for playing in the World of Darkness because the players will have nowhere to run. It also makes it easy to cluster the various supernatural character types. The scene is set in Northern Nevada in current day (or there about). Werewolves, Vampires, Magi, Hunters, etc are a mostly concealed entity from the eyes of mortals.
Vampires
They have their own worries, and in general are not out to take over anything they don't already have. Content in their ways, only the youngest of the leeches become a problem from time to time. The vamps have a secure hold on the few things that matter to them, and feel that no wolf in human clothing could take it from them. The garou probably don't care to take it from them and feel that's the only reason they are still in the city.
Magi
Jealously seeking places of power that the garou control, they are no doubt a issue of contention, it is less of an issue in Reno only because of the precarious agreement struck up between the Glass Walkers and the mage collective in the city. The magi have their own areas of influence to protect, something away from the eyes of the Glass Walkers, but it is the opinion of the garou that they remain because the garou have bigger fish to fry.
Hunters
Its hard to take something seriously when they don't present too much of a threat to the whole. They could be quietly brewing and building such a shit-storm that the garou have no defenses of... who knows? not the garou, that's for sure.
Garou
The garou in Northern Nevada are content in their ignorance of the impending doom that is the apocalypse. There are two major caerns, two minor caerns, and several scattered places of importance to the garou in the area.
The O'Brien Brewery
An old Irish Brewery founded by Rory O'Brien, and also a convenient cover for the caern bon the place was built near. The brewery is family run, seeing that Kin run the place, and the garou members of the O'Brien clan stay mostly to the grounds out back. The brewery puts out a fine spiced apple cider, as well as a unique mead. The mead comes from an old O'Brien family recipe that outside of Ireland is only found with this one brewery in the VC foothills. The caern itself is Fianna in name, but houses just about any tribe that puts up with the O'Briens, and since they are such a well liked family, they have quite a few varied garou staying with them.
The Pyramid Lake Reservation
The Paiute of the Pyramid Lake have a long housed the pure ones in their numbers. The caern that today is home to both Uktena and Wendigo garou is not far from the reservation and is regarded as a safe home for all wolves and their kin.
