Laos is a country in Southeast Asia.
For the real-world country, see Laos.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse[]
The Beast Courts consider Southeast Asia, including Laos, to be tainted by the Wyrm due to the destructive legacy of the Vietnam War. Banes and ghosts are so numerous that it can be disturbing for the spiritually sensitive to simply pass through.[1]
Mage: The Ascension[]
The Zaibatsu consider Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam to be excellent training grounds for new agents, throwing them into conflicts with local kuei-jin or other threats. They also use the region as a testing ground for new weapons and devices, and the corporate arm takes advantage of the low labor costs and business-friendly governments.[2]
Kindred of the East[]
All of Southeast Asia was one under the auspices of the Scarlet Phoenix Court, which eventually splintered into the Golden Courts. Laos, which has always been largely wilderness, suffered greatly during the Vietnam War as bombs and chemical defoliants scarred the landscape and distorted the chi. The few kuei-jin in the country remain largely because they have nowhere else to go.[3]
