2005; New Orleans is struck by Hurricane Katrina. Considered the fifth worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, the hurricane claimed over a thousand lives, and caused over $81 billion dollars in damage. Reconstruction of the beloved port city would take years.

The vampires of the New Orleans coven - survivors of Queen Akasha's attempted genocide - were scattered. Some remained together, others traveled alone, but all were removed from the city that had become their home.

Present day; a few of the older vampires have returned to N.O. in an attempt to help with reconstruction. One such vampire is Marius de Romanus, posing as a man of wealth and leisure. He buys up properties, fixing them up and renting them to mortals. He also opens a book store and an art gallery, using both of these as a means by which to stay updated with the current day. He provides shelter for new vampires in the area, and seeks to recreate the city as it once was.

Slowly, the other vampires are returning as well, some through letters sent by Marius, some simply to see what has become of the city.

And some are drawn back by rumor. A myth that has been around for over 700 years speaks of a myriad of objects that can restore a vampire from monster to something closer to human. There has been little proof for this myth, and so many discount it - yet its telling persists. A local museum showing may offer more answers.

You are here, in New Orleans. Be you mortal or immortal (or something else entirely), you are welcome to join us in our quest - should it be for redemption, for immortality, or something else, we do not know. Each has their own motivation, each their own demons. Join us and find the truth.

All of these objects will affect their wearers differently, depending on the age or strength of the vampire. They will only affect vampires - if mortals were to wear them, they are nothing more than jewelry. All effects are instantaneous but unnoticeable by the wearer. Removal of the objects ends the positives immediately, but the negatives will take time to disperse.

The objects also move about on their own. Whether this is their creator's ghost attempting to maintain his possessions or that the objects themselves have minds of their own is unknown, but what is known is that they will leave and appear of their own volition. Some say that if an object dislikes an owner, it will find itself a new one; likewise, if it likes someone, there is nothing one can do to be rid of it.
