CRONUS is a Thin-blooded alchemist radical group based off Lagos. It is an offshoot of the internet-based and less extremist group DOVECOTE.

History[]

As usual for a group on the Internet, DOVECOTE was guaranteed to spawn offshoots by the people who take it very seriously. Frustrated with DOVECOTE's perceived laissez-faire attitude, a small number of former Thin-blooded members splintered off and formed their own nexus, an actual in-person group of alchemists. They settled on Lagos as their center of operations, moving shop entirely to be within walking distance of each other in the Idumota market. CRONUS's network focuses on intense research into why formulae work the way they do. They don't bother with DOVECOTE's hit-and-miss experimentation; instead, they dissect old recipes over and over again, cross-examining them with chemistry papers and historical texts until every molecule is accounted for. Members travel out periodically to gather ingredients and collect texts around the globe. If Camarilla or other vampires try to mess with them, they don't just want to fight or flee. They want to win.

Description[]

Observant, casual, a go-with-the-flow veneer masking a low simmer. Or, intense, controlled, angry. Usually DOVECOTE members try to stay out of conflicts within the alchemy scene, although some members try to push junior alchemists to see what they're made of. Some DOVECOTE-ers are really in it for the cool formulae and the secret club, but most of them take their mission seriously and believe they're setting up the scaffolding to defend Thin-Blood Alchemy and thin-bloods themselves. Encountered in local alchemical scenes everywhere, or through the network after an invite. Which in CRONUS's case is found in locales with rare books and materials.
