Prague (WOD)

Prague is the the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava River. It is also the historical capital of Bohemia.

Overview
Prague is a center for culture and learning; the Czechs have made major contributions to music, literature, poetry and film. Operas, symphonies and choruses are all well supported, making this a popular location for the Toreador; indeed, Prince Vasily himself was of that clan.

Yet the country faces dire environmental problems. Most of the Republic is on the verge of ecological disaster, and the crisis is even worse in Slovakia. To assist in the cleanup, Prince Vasily engineered close diplomatic ties with Germany and is looking for additional outside aid. While the Lupines would most certainly assist, it seems too risky for the kindred to seek aid from the Lupines at this time.

The Sabbat, prompted by the Tzimisce, cast hungry eyes toward Prague. Tzimisce remember well the ancient nights of study in the Magic City, and the Fiends would give much to walk the corridors of Prmesyl-built Prazsky Hrad Castle once more.

In 1998, Carlak, former Justicar of the Brujah clan moved into the city. The Toreador Prince distrusted all Brujah and demanded Carlak leave and never return. Carlak flew into a rage and beat Vasily into torpor. He then summoned the primogen and asked for their support.

Since that night Carlak keeps Vasily locked in the tightest, most secure casket, chained multiple times and bricked up in the lower levels of Castle Prague. After securing his position as prince, Carlak seeks to solidify his influence within the mortal world, making contacts across Eastern Europe with influential mortals and government diplomats.
