Cairo -- medieval

Cairo -DA20-Bellum Horarium: Arcanam Medieval

Quote (استشهد)

Mistress of broad provinces and fruitful lands, boundless in profusion
of buildings, peerless in beauty and splendor, she shelters all you will of the
learned and ignorant, the grave and the gay, the prudent and the foolish,
the noble and the base...like the waves of the sea she surges with her throngs
of folk...her youth is ever new despite the length of days. Her reigning star
never shifts from the mansion of fortune. (sic)

-- Ibn Batuta, Rihla (The Journey)

Admonition (تحذير)

Older than time itself, Cairo sits as a gleaming gem amid
the Egyptian sands. But is its glitter a beacon of hope or the
harbinger of something more terrible?

Citizens of the City

Cairo is a city of communities. The city's residents both mortal and Kindred, often band together to accomplish individual and common goals, and the vampire who walks the streets of Cairo alone may well find herself at a distinct disadvantage. Within these assemblies lie various subsects, heresies and and fringe groups, and, when inspected in depth, their relations with one another can seem somewhat convoluted. To outsiders and those encountering them for the first time, their ancient and often traditional dealings with one another can appear peculiar, insular or unfamiliar.
