Location

Relocated from London to New York City.

Description

As all the members met under circumstances that were too "random" to be chance, they felt destiny must have led them to be where they are.

History

Tannery House was purchased as a residence by Yvonne and Eddie after it was made obvious to them that London (the city) had need of their presence. Not long after, London (the Cultist) joined their ranks. After fighting off a suspected Nephandi agent, the cabal began investigating a rash of disappearances. Their search led to the discovery of the Nightside, an umbral plane consisting of London's subconscious. They apprehended the Nightside slave trader who was abducting Londoners and selling them to Nightsiders and killed him. What they did not know was the slave trader was also the one responsible for running the Nightside. They were made the governing body of the Nightside by default. After setting up a chain of command and operations, they returned to London.

Not long after, London (the Cultist) was suddenly pulled away to Balador. However, Fate filled the occupancy with Porter and the group quickly integrated him into their cabal. Soon after that, a Technocratic raid hit London and in an attempt to help the cabal escape, Alfredo tried to pull the group into the umbra. He failed and the cabal ended up in a musical marauder's quiet. After fighting their way through her songs (the last being "House of the Rising Sun"), the group found themselves in New Orleans, safe in the House of the Rising Sun chantry. After talking with the members, Damien Allen sent the cabal to New York City, as London had become unsafe for mage society.

Shortly after obtaining a place to live, Fate led Matt Kennedy to their door. With the help of Matt and a pooka, the group was able to stop another series of disappearances, this time with children being the targets. When Matt tried to leave, his car would not start and Fate kept him with the group. Later that week, the group went to see a concert by a Chorister at the behest of Yvonne. During the performance, a spiritual struggle erupted between the Angel of Death and a Nephandi soul harvester over an old man who was attacked by the Nephandi. Yvonne removed the Nephandic necklace the old man was wearing and took it with her. With the Chorister in tow, the group began to devise a way to enter the umbra to investigate. Since Alfredo was the only one able to pull people into the umbra, the group decided to ask the fae at FAO Schwartz to grant them passage to the Dreaming. Once there, the necklace began exerting control over Yvonne and the others were forced to fight her until the effect was broken. Aided by the Angel of Death, they were able to defeat the Nephandi agent.
