California (WOD)

California is a large, populous state on the west coast of the United States. Its major cities include San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Vampire: The Masquerade
Beginning in the 19th century, southern California drew large numbers of young vampires, especially those sympathetic to the Anarch Movement. In 1944, with the Camarilla distracted by the war in Europe, Jeremy MacNeill instigated the Second Anarch Revolt in Los Angeles and ousted the city's Prince. The revolt spread through much of southern California, which was dubbed the Anarch Free State.

In 1998, the Quincunx began the Great Leap Outward by attacking cities all along the California coast. The newly acquired territory was dubbed the New Promise Mandarinate. The Mandarinate is headquartered in San Francisco, while in Los Angeles an uneasy stalemate has been reached among the kuei-jin, the Anarchs, the Camarilla and opportunistic Sabbat from Mexico.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse
The Sept of the Western Eye is located in Muir Woods National Park near San Francisco.

Changeling: The Dreaming
California is largely contiguous with the Kingdom of Pacifica, one of the kingdoms that make up Concordia.

Demon: The Fallen
Lucifer settled in Hollywood in 1933, and several Earthbound were attracted to the area in pursuit of him. In 1999, large numbers of escaped demons came to Los Angeles, either hoping to join forces with Lucifer or exact revenge on him.
