Editing 2052 Symposium and Conclave (section)

==Camarilla Conclave==

The [[Camarilla]] Conclave was held on Saturday the 29th in the [[Hartford|Domain of Hartford and New haven, CT]]. Officially, the Justicar calling the conclave is being called by Their Grace, [[Ethereal]].

Her Imperial Majesty, [[Romana Pendragon]] of [[Clan Brujah]], presided as Primus Inter Pares, commanding the respect and attention of all attending Kindred. The conclave drew a plethora of influential figures, including several notable members of the Independent Alliance. Among them was Francis Milliner, the enigmatic leader of the Giovanni in the United States.

The night took a turn with the dramatic arrival of Justicar [[Theo Bell]]. Bell arrived late, immediately engaging in intense posturing. As he integrated into the discussions, it became apparent that the Camarilla, under the heavy influence of the Ventrue, was brokering a deal with the Giovanni. This arrangement did not sit well with Bell.

Seeking to uncover more about the Ventrue's intentions, Theo Bell confronted Hardestadt. The confrontation escalated quickly, culminating in a violent altercation. In a shocking turn of events, Theo Bell murdered Hardestadt before enting into a frenzy, preparing to attack [[Francis Milliner]]. In response, Milliner killed Theo Bell.

Despite the violent disruption, Justicar [[Lucinde]] persisted in pushing for continued conversations with Milliner. Her actions faced strong opposition from the Brujah contingent, many of whom walked out, including Romana Pendragon.

In a meticulously timed attack, the Sabbat struck the conclave. The Sabbat's assault served their purposes well, as the Brujah had vacated, leaving the Camarilla without some of its most skilled fighters.

Many members of the Camarilla, caught in the crossfire, found themselves besieged within the mansion. The Sabbat's attack was relentless, and as swarms of Sabbat attacked Lanham House, a fight ensued. Finally, Imperator [[Karsh]] was able to drive the Sabbat back outside the house, but not before the Sabbat inside the house had torpored several members of the Camarilla. Three Sabbat—a Tzimisce, a Lasombra, and a Brujah Antitribu—cornered Tremere [[William Bagg]] and [[Rulenthus Brimstone]] and defeated them. As William Bagg was turned to ash by the Lasombra, Rulenthus Brimstone invoked powerful flame thaumaturgy, destroying himself in a massive fireball that consumed the three attackers.

After the fight, Karsh and his Myrmidons cleared the area and escorted all of the Kindred and guests off the premises.
