In this episode of St. Ardent by Night, the coterie descends into the Tremere Library beneath St. Ephriam’s College just as a citywide alert signals that the systems protecting St. Ardent are failing. Panic spreads when Stephen, an elderly Tremere, reveals he is the last Kindred maintaining the wards that shield the city. As Ernest and Enili investigate the sealed office of former Primogen Michael Alric, they uncover lethal wards designed to kill anyone who breaches them. Tensions erupt when Mistress Lux flees in terror after Stephen turns Dread Gaze upon her, and desperation drives the Tremere Primogen to sanction an unthinkable act. With a holy blade in hand, the coterie forces entry into Alric’s office at a devastating cost. What they uncover inside reframes the past, exposes betrayal at the highest levels, and reveals a conspiracy involving hunters, mages, and a corrupted spirit of the land. As evidence is delivered to the Camarilla leadership, new crises emerge, alliances strain, and the city itself begins to tremble as the wards finally start to fail.
What to Expect: gothic horror, political horror, character-focused roleplay, moral dilemmas, escalating consequences, and long-form narrative storytelling.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
