Editing New England Wars (section)

===Prelude===
Revolt in [[Boston]] ignited the fuse that led to the {{w|American Revolutionary War|American War of Independence}}, but [[New England]] was a source of anarchy and strife for more than just mortals. As far back as the 18th century, fierce packs of [[Garou|werewolves]]—known to the colonist Kindred as "Lupine"--bit and tore at any vampire bastion in the area, isolating vampires to their towns and cities like castaways on islands in an unstoppably tempestuous sea. The severe winter time became one of extreme famine for vampires in the region, forcing many to cannibalism or the sleep of [[torpor]], as the kine population rarely surged outside spring or summer. The [[Sabbat]] routinely sent war packs to terrorize and subjugate Kindred throughout this pocket of the thirteen colonies-turned [[United States]], on more than one occasion utterly gutting Vermont of its [[Camarilla]] and [[Anarch]] populations. The onslaught of monsters and inhospitable environment improved little until the 19th century reached its end. The Sabbat, who long held a cruel gauntlet over any Kindred daring to cleave to another sect, found themselves in a defensive war against invaders from across the ocean. British Kindred under the yoke of the Camarilla Prince of London, the god-emperor {{www|Mithras (VTM)|Mithras}}, arrived, but not as allies to the few Camarilla in New England. The British Camarilla came to seize the territories for their master a century after they'd fallen from mortal Britain's grip. What followed was a three-way war between the New England Camarilla, the Sabbat, and the British Camarilla, the latter of which was led by a coterie known as the [[Imperial Triad|Triad]]. While no side definitively won the war, by the 20th century the respective sides had carved out domains and buried themselves deep, with borders rarely shifting.
