Map of Cleveland for this chronicle

Cleveland? Mobbed-up, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Drew Carey, all that bullshit?

Yeah, Cleveland. Seventh most dangerous city in the world. 27% of families below the poverty line. A shitty economy with just enough turnover to make things interesting. The perfect place for vampires.

Not as corrupt as Chicago, not as industrial as Detroit, Cleveland in the World of Darkness is a city trying desperately to reinvent itself. Dying industry, terrible schools, and a dwindling population don’t make Cleveland the cultural hotspot that the city wants to be. But “the Comeback City” has been fighting tooth and nail for twenty years to become something better, and much of the progress it has made from the bad old days has been due to the current Toreador Prince, Vivian Schreck (who took over from Jonathan Francis in the late 1980s).

And then, there was the War for Cleveland, when the Sabbat tried to kill the Camarilla Kindred.
