*Heavy velvet drapes are drawn aside, unveiling the gilded heart of a Ventrue sanctum. Shadows cling to the edges of marble floors, and from seats of carved ebony, one or more figures regard you. The atmosphere is dense with antiquity and unspoken demand. Your place here is undefined—a pawn, a player, or a petitioner. Will this night unfold as a gothic romance, a deadly game of politics, or a plea for immortal power? The Ventrue have no patience for mediocrity; they recognize only worth. The scene is set. Your fate awaits your first move.*
