Boston
The Domain of Greater Boston is the nearest domain to Caliburn Island.
History[edit | edit source]
The first Kindred in Boston was Madeline Coventry, a Tremere elder from the Winchester Chantry, in 1635.
Soon after the Ventrue established themselves in the city and came to dominate all of the Massachusetts colony after forcing the Tremere out. They also forced Brujah vampires from the city as well and set up a feeling of unrest which culminated in their losing control of the city to Brujah, Gangrel, and Malkavian factions during the American Revolution in 1783.
In the ensuing power vacuum, the Tremere reestablished themselves in the city and founded the Boston Chantry. This was also a period when the Sabbat, operating from Maine, began to attack Camarilla colonies throughout the Boston area. The Tremere Chantries in Boston and Salem quarreled for almost half a century before the Salem colony was overrun by the Sabbat in 1831. With the Tremere gone, the city became a stronghold of Malkavian power in New England until the modern nights.
Boston in modern nights has been home to several Kindred of note. The Prince of the city from 1825 to the end of the 20th century was Quentin King III, a Malkavian who kept the Sabbat hordes at bay, though he owed much of his power to the British elder William Biltmore, the Prince of Cambridge. Many American vampires resent the British presence, however, and one of them, Battista Decamerone, formed the Kindred of Liberty to oppose their Triad. The head of the Giovanni clan in the city is Andreas Giovanni.
The renowned Tzimisce known as Velya the Vivisectionist met his "bride" to be, Elaine Cassidy, and embraced her in this city. The Quabbin Reservoir along the Connecticut River is also a meeting place for Gangrel traveling through New England.
Hazel Iversen was Prince of the city from the 1990's through the late 2020's, when the it merged with the Domain of Cambridge, resulting in William Biltmore forming the Domain of Greater Boston.
