All cities have a dark side. A night life full of secrets, blood, and fear. Chicago is no different. Of course, what many don't realize, is that hidden beneath that aspect of society is an even darker underbelly, teeming with the mysteries that many wrote off early in their childhood. Within the city, there are many groups of individuals belonging to a hidden subgroup of the population, entities resembling humans, but more grisly and monstrous. Among these groups, there are several families of vampire, clans of a variety of creatures descended from the vampires of legend. These vampires are mostly aristocratic, with some groups operating more as monsters hidden beneath the streets and some simply as hermits trying to live with what they see as an affliction. Within the underworld of Chicago exists two primary families of the vampire lineage, the Drake family, and the Leone family. Both are well known, and neither like sharing the city with one another, much less the other various groups throughout the city. Like with all major feuds, there tends to be a great deal of collateral damage, bleeding into the human society as well, thanks in no small part to the political intrigue involved with keeping the humans in check.
Recently, the feud has grown worse, with the Leon family making noticeable advances on Drake territory, and the Drake family working tirelessly to control the city through its political landscape. What's more, something is drawing other supernatural entities to the city like a beacon, and no one knows why or what it is. Something is coming, and neither family is willing to set aside their differences to thwart it. What's more, the Leone family has begun taking more risks in regards to maintaining the Masquerade, the illusion that vampires and others like them do not in fact exist. Keeping the supernatural out of view of everyday people is a challenge that most vampires are more than willing to accept, but some believe that the Masquerade isn't the answer. Thus, the conflict only escalates.
As more people and creatures are drawn to the city, the situation only worsens, as the air thickens with tension and more unexplained events are beginning to occur. All within the city know something is coming, and no one knows what. The Drake and Leone families, while largely ignoring it, have begrudgingly sought the help of other species, particularly human hunters and mages in hopes of uncovering whatever potential catastrophe is on the horizon.
