Constantinople (WOD)

Mi-ka-il proclaims Dominus and old Traditionalist of Rome as Inconnu (an insult at the time). They are angry. Before the Latin assault, Michael ordered Malachite to save his brothers by taking them outside to Adrianople. Fra Raymond dies crushed under a cistern. One of the three brothers just after him, after having said this sentence: "I want to see the sun on the Mont Ercyies". He was apparently unharmed instant before he fell to dust. Malachite meets Myriam during the destruction of the city. They help each others then part separate way in the burning city. Malachite try to protect one of the three dying blessed child Nosferatu. Verpus tries to capture Malachite in the subterranean of the city. He works for Feroux, who is furious against Malachite because he abandoned the library of Saint Jean Studius, made on the order of Michael, to the flames. Verpus brings Malachite to Petrion, the fortress in ruins of Feroux. Ignatius frees him when the Duke Guy deProvence, a Latin vampire, attack the fortress (an attack provoked by the Nosferatu...). The New Roman Council is made of six Franks and six Venetians electors choosing a new Emperor.
