For as long as any Kindred can remember, Fairbanks has long been under control of the Invictus, primarily dominated by an elder Ventrue by the name of Dragalescu. Although his quirks as a Ventrue became more and more apparent over the years, he held onto the city with unshakeable conviction through a Carthian revolt and the outside meddling of the Circle of the Crone. But with time comes change.
Slowly, Kindred starting filtering into the city after the mass expulsion following the Carthian Revolt. It was slow at first, and most of them found an easy home as fellow covenant-mates to the Invictus, but other less desirables began to stake a claim in the frozen north. Perhaps it was Dragalescu's age and infirmity or the call of a long deserved torpor that blinded him to the danger approaching... Or maybe, the Gangrel known as Redson simply got lucky.
The Prince is dead! Long live Prince Redson. Gathering the rest of the Invictus to his side, Redson ruled over a city in flux, a city populated with creatures like the Belial's Brood and the strange Shadow King. As usual, the Ordo Dracul and Circle of the Crone kept to themselves. The miniscule presence of the Lancea Sanctum allowed the Invictus to continue to thrive unrivaled for all but a growing Carthian group. Eventually, the Rebels gained enough power to press the Prince for a Senate made up of elected representatives from each covenant.
All seemed well for a time, but the strain of praxis on Redson's soul was visible to all. Infighting within the First Estate began to affect the politics of the city, until it erupted in outright violence inside the covenant. During this chaotic time, several Kindred fell to foul play and perhaps most oddly of all... Praxis was willingly handed over to the Senate by the Prince. But the fledgling council eventually dwindled and failed in the summer of 2006, leaving the city wide open to all manner of predators.
During that summer, a malificent force claiming to be Lancea Sanctum seized many Kindred assets and resources... as well as Praxis. But after several months, their deception was uncovered by local Kindred and they were forced to retreat. Boya Trance, now Greggor MicCullen, seized praxis then and still maintains a shakey rulership. But with Belial's Brood invading the city and the return of the myserious Shadow King, will the Acolytes remain ascendant? Or will the city once again fall into chaos?
