Summary[]
From the seller’s page:
- Enlightenment philosophies and revolution shake the long-standing institutions of monarchy and hierarchy in France to their core.
- Immortal Kindred hidden within the House of Bourbon scheme to hold onto the power and privilege they crave, while the beginnings of the Carthian Movement scheme to kick in some fangs and make the elders bleed alongside disenfranchised mortals yearning for liberty. The Arisen question whether they, too, should rise up against their Judges, drawn to Paris by the mysterious Empire of the Dead in the catacombs below the city.
- The God-Machine has its own plans for the catacomb’s Lifeweb, and while mummies work with vampires and demons to unearth its secrets, the Unchained Agendas splinter into factions over whether the revolution is the Machine’s way of cleansing France, or an opportunity to openly defy it and finally find Hell on Earth.
- Requires the use of the Vampire: the Requiem Second Edition Rulebook, Mummy: the Curse Second Edition Rulebook and Demon: the Descent Rulebook.
- Note: This is a single chapter of the larger Dark Eras 2 collection.

Memorable Quotes[]
“Don’t forget to show my head to the people. It is well worth seeing."
“The republic burned so hot and bright in her chest that I could warm my hands on her words. Of course, I felt the spirit of friendship for her. I would have done anything, severed anything, to feel her fire first hand.”
- Rosalie (formerly Sunne’s Ninth Burning Wheel), of Marianne
"One altered the sacred geometry of the Notre Dame just so. One silvered the great rose window with rochelle salt and threaded thick bundles of silk and sugar and dry bone from the nave to the chancel. Each misplaced sunbeam and shuffling foot charging the steam engines in Chaillot with new purpose. As it pumped drinking water, it dredged the Seine, and funnelled its ancient sewage into the Bièvre. One never found out what One was dredging the Seine for. Then rioters just…knocked the heads off each of the 28 kings of Judah. Dozens of lifetimes of care and craft destroyed in a day by men who mistook them for the kings of France. If One could feel anger, I might be furious.”
