Gehenna War

The Gehenna War, also known as the Gehenna Crusade, is an active Kindred sectarian conflict between the Camarilla and Sabbat, primarily being fought in the Middle East, but also partly in mortal conflict zones near the region, such as Ukraine.

The Sabbat, calling the war a crusade, abandoned their worldwide holdings en masse and travelled to the region in order to uncover and kill Antediluvians. Conversely, the Camarilla seeks to contain them, protect the Masquerade, and to protect the graves of torpored methuselah from being disturbed by Sabbat who might confuse them for Antediluvians.

For reasons that are not entirely clear, elder Kindred around the world are subject to a supernatural "Beckoning" which compels them to travel to the region to participate in the conflict.
