Mages of Paris - 1900
Introduction
As a major center of western culture, Paris has attracted its fair share of will-workers over the centuries. Major events from the history of the Awakened, like the Paris University Purge, which marks the begin of the Pogrom, as well as Czar Vargo's speech at the Exhibition of 1900 against the ever growing construction of war machines, have taken place here.
As a result, the city plays host to various magical factions. Of special notes is the laboratory of the Sons of Ether, which had to be briefly shut down during the German occupation of 1940. Four Hermetic Chantries, one constructed originally by the Founder Tytalus, have historically been constructed in and around the city, and Paris continues to act as a stronghold for their numbers. Another place of notice is the café Le Corbeau Cruel near the Notre Dame, which is managed by a family of Hollow Ones, and it acts as an informal gathering place for displaced Orphans who seek to orientate themselves following their Awakening.

Lightkeepers (New World Order)
The Light Keepers of Paris are a very active group. They have several active area's in the city that they are working to solidify the paradigm. To that end the Light Keepers have maintained a pogrom of creating dissension for the Traditions and the other Supernaturals in the city. This pogrom is kept within the upper echelons of the Ivory Tower. There has been concern for some time that there is dissension in the Union. They know that there has been less than full cooperation from the Aetheric Order. The Master Maker and Dr. Lebron have clashed more than once.
It has become very important that Andrée Reynaud maintain her Socialization Program so she is guaranteed to be faithful to the Union over her love of her husband. Dr. Lebron is doing his best to keep her contained, and perhaps creating some distance between the two love birds.

- -- Khunufseh -- An Egyptian mage who established a chantry in Paris and actively recruits other mages into the Black Hand. He is most likely of the Euthanatos tradition but there is no proof to that. The Qadi have called for his head but the rest of the Hand is reluctant to do so, meanwhile Khunufseh continues to search for more mages.
