==== Boroughs and Districts ====
 +
On 1 January 2002, the 12 former towns of Sainte-Foy, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Sillery, Loretteville, Val-Bélair, Cap-Rouge, Saint-Émile, Vanier, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and Lac-Saint-Charles were annexed by Quebec City. This was one of several municipal mergers which took place across Quebec on that date. Following a demerger referendum, L'Ancienne-Lorette and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures were reconstituted as separate municipalities on 1 January 2006, but the other former municipalities remain part of Quebec City. On 1 November 2009, the Quebec City re-organized its boroughs, reducing the number from 8 to 6.
 +
 
 +
As of 2011 Quebec City has 35 districts in six boroughs. All districts are numbered, and most are named. In most cases the name of the district is similar to a historical town or village it replaced, but not always. Districts each elect their own council, which are part of public consultations with the city government. The numbering system was based on the 2002-2009 borough boundaries, so post-2009 the numbers do not correspond completely with the boroughs.

=== La Cité-Limoilou - Quebec City ===
 +
[[File:Carte localisation Québec - La Cité–Limoilou.svg.png]]
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
==== Introduction ====
 +
La Cité-Limoilou is the central borough of Quebec City, the oldest (in terms of architecture), and the most populous, comprising 21.85% of the city's total population. As an administrative division, it is very new, having only been formed on November 1, 2009, from the former boroughs of La Cité and Limoilou; now La Cité-Limoilou.

==== Districts of La Cité ====
 +
La Cité ("the city" or "the stronghold") is the historic heart of Quebec City. It was the entirety of the city until the nineteenth century expansions and amalgamations. The former borough was divided into six different districts before the 2009 reorganization. The central district of La Cité is Vieux-Québec—Cap-Blanc—colline Parlementaire. It is in turn centred on the old walled city, Old Quebec, and also includes nearby Parliament Hill, the Old Port, and the Petit Champlain shopping district. Other districts within La Cité are also home to much historic architecture and many important institutions.

==== Districts of Limoilou ====
 +
Limoilou is a former borough of Quebec City. Population (2001): 44,980. It consisted of the neighbourhoods of Vieux-Limoilou, Lairet and Maizerets. It is bordered by the borough of Beauport in the northeast, by the borough of Charlesbourg in the northwest, by the borough of Les Rivières in the southwest, and in bordered in the south of the former downtown borough of La Cité (now also part of La Cité-Limoilou). In terms of architecture, Limoilou is second only to La Cité as Quebec City's oldest neighbourhood. It is also Quebec City's second most densely populated borough, with 4,656 inhabitants/km². A defining characteristic of the neighbourhood is its grid pattern layout, and the numerical naming of its streets, such as 11th Street and 3rd Avenue.
 +
 
 +
'''History:''' The first recorded instance of the name "Limoilou" to designate this former municipality occurred in 1893. It is a variant of the word Limoëlou, the name of 16th century French explorer Jacques Cartier's manor in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France.
 +
 
 +
Up until the end of the 19th century, the territory of Limoilou was entirely rural. First the settlements of Stadacona and Hedleyville appeared along the shore of the Saint-Charles River. Originally a separate municipality, it was incorporated into Quebec City in 1909 with which came larger, more urban projects.

=== Les Rivières ===
 +
[[File:Quebec Arrondissement Les Rivières.png]]
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
==== Introduction ====
 +
Les Rivières (The Rivers) is a borough of Quebec City. It comprises 5 neighbourhoods: Neufchâtel-Est, Lebourgneuf, Duberger, Les Saules and Vanier. Except for Vanier, all of theses neighbourhoods were part of the pre-2002 city of Quebec.
 +
 
 +
==== Description ====
 +
Les Rivières is one of the six boroughs of Quebec City. It takes its name from the Saint-Charles River that passes through the borough as well as two tributaries rivers of Saint-Charles: Berger and Lorette. The borough is geographically located in the center of Quebec City.
 +
 
 +
Les Rivières borough vastly corresponds to the Rivières section of the former city of Québec (Québec City as it was know before the 2002 municipal reorganization). The borough also include the former city of Vanier which was merged into Quebec City in 2002.
 +
 
 +
The Rivières section of the former city was made of four municipalities that were annexed to Quebec City in the 1970s. They were Duberger, Les Saules, Neufchâtel and Charlesbourg-Ouest. These former municipalities kept their respective name as neighborhoods of Quebec City with the exception of Charlesbourg-Ouest which was renamed Lebourgneuf. Lebourgneuf got its name as a portmanteau from the last letters of Charlesbourg and the first letters Neufchatel because Charlesbourg-Ouest was located between Charlesbourg and Neufchâtel.
 +
 
 +
Following the creation of the new city of Quebec in 2002, Neufchâtel was dismantled, with most of it going to La Haute-Saint-Charles borough. The part of Neufchâtel that was retained by Les Rivières borough became Neufchâtel-Est.

 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge is a borough of Quebec City.
 +
 
 +
The borough was created on November 1, 2009, from the former borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery and part of the former borough of Laurentien. Those boroughs in turn had been created on January 1, 2002; on that date, the former city of Cap-Rouge, a small part of the former city of Sainte-Foy, and other territory went into Laurentien, while the former city of Sillery and the rest of Sainte-Foy formed Sainte-Foy–Sillery.

=== Charlesbourg ===
 +
[[File:Quebec Arrondissement Charlesburg.jpg]]
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
==== Introduction ====
 +
Founded in 1659, Charlesbourg is a borough of Quebec City, in the northeastern part of the city and West of the borough of Beauport. Incorporated in 1976 following the merger of the cities of Orsainville, Notre-Dame-des-Laurentides, the town of Charlesbourg (1949) and the municipality of Charlesbourg-Est (1928). It became part of Quebec City on January 1, 2002 after a controversial province-wide city merger project.
 +
 
 +
This residential suburb of Quebec City is the fourth-largest urban centre of the Québec Urban Community. Like Beauport, it has increased by more than 20,000 people over the last 25 years.
 +
 
 +
==== History ====
 +
The first settlement of Charlesbourg dates back to the 1660s when the Jesuits organized the nucleus of a colony in a place known as the Trait Carré, meaning "perpendicular." The name Charlesbourg originates from this time from a chapel built at Bourg-Royal, in honour of St Charles Borromée. The village site at the Trait-Carré had a rather characteristic triangular parcelling-out of the land radiating outwards from a central square, in the centre of which the church was located. The land allotted to every tenant would fan out from that point in an isosceles triangular shape away from the town square. In this way, the farmhouses would all be situated close to the town centre, making it easy for everyone to help out and to participate in community-oriented tasks and festivities while being in a position to defend the village against attacks.
 +
 
 +
This geographical and architectural trademark of Old Charlesbourg, recognized as a provincial historic site (1965), is well worth a visit by enthusiasts of cultural geography and architectural heritage. There are only two examples of this kind of settlement layout in all of Canada: Charlesbourg and Bourg-Royal. Charlesbourg is rich in architectural landmarks: the church, built between 1827-33; the Jesuits grist mill and 15 other houses dating back to the pre-1830 period; and about 40 other buildings typical of the second half of the 19th century.

<br>
 +
<br>
 +
==== '''Introduction''' ====
 +
Beauport is a borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on the Saint Lawrence River.
 +
 
 +
Beauport is a northeastern suburb of Quebec City. Manufacturers include paint, construction materials, printers, and hospital supplies. Food transportation is important to the economy. Attractions include Parc de la Chute-Montmorency (Montmorency Falls Park), which contains a fortification built in 1759 by James Wolfe and Manoir Montmorency, the home from 1791 to 1794 of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn.
 +
 
 +
The city's historic district contains many interesting churches and homes, including Bélanger-Girardin House, a National Historic Site of Canada where visitors can learn about Beauport's heritage. Annual events include the spring arts festival Salon de Mai and the summer Festival Folklorique des enfants du monde, a multicultural and international children's folklore festival.
 +
 
 +
==== '''History''' ====
 +
Beauport was established in 1634, making it one of the oldest European-founded communities in Canada.
 +
 
 +
An Internment camp was set up at The Armoury in Beauport, Quebec from December 1914 to June 1916.
 +
 
 +
It was incorporated as a city in 1976 through the amalgamation of seven municipalities (Beauport, Saint-Michel-Archange, Giffard, Villeneuve, Montmorency, Courville and Sainte-Thérèse-de-Lisieux). During the 1990s its population continued to grow because of its economic diversification, available space, and outdoor recreational opportunities. On January 1, 2002, Beauport was merged into Quebec City.

<span style="color:#800000;"> ''For a city so recently reclaimed by the undead, Quebec City is naturally beset by numerous factions within the larger World of Darkness. That it spent a mere decade under the watchful eye of the Camarilla before coming under assault by the rabid forces of the Sabbat tells its own tale. But now the city of Quebec lies in the hands of the youngest sect, the League of the Night. With only a bare handful of defenders, can the league hold the territory it has gained in battle or will the conflict even be fought on a battlefield at all? Unlike the Camarilla which hand-picked the vampiric residents of Quebec City, the league is a militant interloper which forcibly injected itself into the latest round of the Camarilla-Sabbat war. With the clock ticking and Sabbat forces closing on the city, the league offered Quebec City's Kindred residents a devil's bargain, accept league hegemony or be overrun by the feral forces of the Sabbat.''
  
−
=== <span style="color:#800000;"><u>'''League of the Night Leadership''' </u> ===
+
<span style="color:#800000;"> ''That the Camarilla of Quebec City chose to accept league dominion over the final death is no surprise. But, now that the Sword of Caine has been beaten back, how many of the city's undead will keep their oaths of alliance to the league, for after all, is an oath that is given under duress truly fair or binding? The league's defenders aren't the only ones who are holding an unnecessary breath in anticipation of an answer to that question, for clearly many of the former members of the Camarilla are asking themselves that same question. For some the answer is easy, but not for all, because its not so simple a thing to forget a life-debt, especially when that life is eternal. Of course, while the league watches the former Camarilla members for traitorous behavior, they must also guard the borders against the Sabbat which will not soon forget the league's interference in their holy crusade. And while League of the Night, Sabbat and the Camarilla squabble over Quebec City like starving jackals, the other denizens of the night look upon the city with hungry eyes and await their opportunity to gain a foothold or outright supremacy.''

Lastly, the new duchess of the city is Andrea Visconti, a woman who was born and lived during La Belle Epoche as well as Italy's Liberal period which gave birth to Italian national unity. As a duchess she holds democracy and social progress as primary ideals, making Quebec City one of the most forward looking vampiric communities in the world.

The league has a much more lenient and empathetic point of view on the Caitiff, granting them equal status based on the merit of their capacity. While this approach is far from ideal, the teeming masses of clanless vampires are willing to accept any kind of port in the storm. This means that it is extremely likely that Quebec City will become a mecca for the Caitiff. Lest this seem like an oversight on the part of the league leadership, consider that the League of the Night will need a veritable army if it is to expand in the DMZ between the warlike Sabbat and the calculating Camarilla.''

Given Quebec City's close proximity to vast wilderness of the Quebecois forest lands, it seems likely that Ujarak will not be the last Gangrel to pass through the city. Moreover, the wilds are home to werewolves and with so much unspoiled wilderness, their numbers are likely to be great.

The eldest of the Quebec City rats is Petit Lard who was Embraced in the century following the rise of the Camarila and she knows no other system of government nor does she trust this new league of the night to protect the masquerade and her interests. While her childe Lilianne was Embraced during the ''fin de siecle'', the cusp of the Camarilla's golden age as it began its great decline into the 20th century, as such she has seen its many failings and has no true loyalty to the old sect while feeling no real connection to the League. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the youngest Nosferaru: Samuel has seemingly abandoned the Camarilla, completely throwing in his lot with the League and its revolutionary agenda. Naturally, this difference of political views has created friction and to some degree rivalry amoug the Sewer Rats of Quebec, but their strife reflects the greater disparaty of the city's Kindred as a whole.

Why they felt the need to wipe-out the largely quiescent Tremere of Quebec City instead of destroying New York or Chicago remains a mystery. When the supernatural dust finally settled, a Camarilla assault group "re-took" the city from the Sabbat and established a thriving Camarilla outpost. Among those allowed to re-settle were two Tremere, a master and an apprentice. But fate has not been kind to the Tremere, at least in regards to Quebec City.''

Boroughs and Districts

On 1 January 2002, the 12 former towns of Sainte-Foy, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Sillery, Loretteville, Val-Bélair, Cap-Rouge, Saint-Émile, Vanier, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and Lac-Saint-Charles were annexed by Quebec City. This was one of several municipal mergers which took place across Quebec on that date. Following a demerger referendum, L'Ancienne-Lorette and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures were reconstituted as separate municipalities on 1 January 2006, but the other former municipalities remain part of Quebec City. On 1 November 2009, the Quebec City re-organized its boroughs, reducing the number from 8 to 6.

As of 2011 Quebec City has 35 districts in six boroughs. All districts are numbered, and most are named. In most cases the name of the district is similar to a historical town or village it replaced, but not always. Districts each elect their own council, which are part of public consultations with the city government. The numbering system was based on the 2002-2009 borough boundaries, so post-2009 the numbers do not correspond completely with the boroughs.

La Cité-Limoilou - Quebec City

Carte localisation Québec - La Cité–Limoilou.svg.png

Introduction

La Cité-Limoilou is the central borough of Quebec City, the oldest (in terms of architecture), and the most populous, comprising 21.85% of the city's total population. As an administrative division, it is very new, having only been formed on November 1, 2009, from the former boroughs of La Cité and Limoilou; now La Cité-Limoilou.

Quebec map La Cité-Limoilou.jpg

Districts of La Cité

La Cité ("the city" or "the stronghold") is the historic heart of Quebec City. It was the entirety of the city until the nineteenth century expansions and amalgamations. The former borough was divided into six different districts before the 2009 reorganization. The central district of La Cité is Vieux-Québec—Cap-Blanc—colline Parlementaire. It is in turn centred on the old walled city, Old Quebec, and also includes nearby Parliament Hill, the Old Port, and the Petit Champlain shopping district. Other districts within La Cité are also home to much historic architecture and many important institutions.

  • -- <<Montcalm - Quebec City>>
  • -- <<Saint-Sauveur - Quebec City>>
  • -- <<Saint-Sacrement - Quebec City>>
  • -- Quartier Petit-Champlain

Districts of Limoilou

Limoilou is a former borough of Quebec City. Population (2001): 44,980. It consisted of the neighbourhoods of Vieux-Limoilou, Lairet and Maizerets. It is bordered by the borough of Beauport in the northeast, by the borough of Charlesbourg in the northwest, by the borough of Les Rivières in the southwest, and in bordered in the south of the former downtown borough of La Cité (now also part of La Cité-Limoilou). In terms of architecture, Limoilou is second only to La Cité as Quebec City's oldest neighbourhood. It is also Quebec City's second most densely populated borough, with 4,656 inhabitants/km². A defining characteristic of the neighbourhood is its grid pattern layout, and the numerical naming of its streets, such as 11th Street and 3rd Avenue.

History: The first recorded instance of the name "Limoilou" to designate this former municipality occurred in 1893. It is a variant of the word Limoëlou, the name of 16th century French explorer Jacques Cartier's manor in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France.

Up until the end of the 19th century, the territory of Limoilou was entirely rural. First the settlements of Stadacona and Hedleyville appeared along the shore of the Saint-Charles River. Originally a separate municipality, it was incorporated into Quebec City in 1909 with which came larger, more urban projects.

Les Rivières

Quebec Arrondissement Les Rivières.png

Introduction

Les Rivières (The Rivers) is a borough of Quebec City. It comprises 5 neighbourhoods: Neufchâtel-Est, Lebourgneuf, Duberger, Les Saules and Vanier. Except for Vanier, all of theses neighbourhoods were part of the pre-2002 city of Quebec.

Description

Les Rivières is one of the six boroughs of Quebec City. It takes its name from the Saint-Charles River that passes through the borough as well as two tributaries rivers of Saint-Charles: Berger and Lorette. The borough is geographically located in the center of Quebec City.

Les Rivières borough vastly corresponds to the Rivières section of the former city of Québec (Québec City as it was know before the 2002 municipal reorganization). The borough also include the former city of Vanier which was merged into Quebec City in 2002.

The Rivières section of the former city was made of four municipalities that were annexed to Quebec City in the 1970s. They were Duberger, Les Saules, Neufchâtel and Charlesbourg-Ouest. These former municipalities kept their respective name as neighborhoods of Quebec City with the exception of Charlesbourg-Ouest which was renamed Lebourgneuf. Lebourgneuf got its name as a portmanteau from the last letters of Charlesbourg and the first letters Neufchatel because Charlesbourg-Ouest was located between Charlesbourg and Neufchâtel.

Following the creation of the new city of Quebec in 2002, Neufchâtel was dismantled, with most of it going to La Haute-Saint-Charles borough. The part of Neufchâtel that was retained by Les Rivières borough became Neufchâtel-Est.



Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge

Quebec Arrondissement Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge.png

Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge is a borough of Quebec City.

The borough was created on November 1, 2009, from the former borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery and part of the former borough of Laurentien. Those boroughs in turn had been created on January 1, 2002; on that date, the former city of Cap-Rouge, a small part of the former city of Sainte-Foy, and other territory went into Laurentien, while the former city of Sillery and the rest of Sainte-Foy formed Sainte-Foy–Sillery.



Charlesbourg

Quebec Arrondissement Charlesburg.jpg

Introduction

Founded in 1659, Charlesbourg is a borough of Quebec City, in the northeastern part of the city and West of the borough of Beauport. Incorporated in 1976 following the merger of the cities of Orsainville, Notre-Dame-des-Laurentides, the town of Charlesbourg (1949) and the municipality of Charlesbourg-Est (1928). It became part of Quebec City on January 1, 2002 after a controversial province-wide city merger project.

This residential suburb of Quebec City is the fourth-largest urban centre of the Québec Urban Community. Like Beauport, it has increased by more than 20,000 people over the last 25 years.

History

The first settlement of Charlesbourg dates back to the 1660s when the Jesuits organized the nucleus of a colony in a place known as the Trait Carré, meaning "perpendicular." The name Charlesbourg originates from this time from a chapel built at Bourg-Royal, in honour of St Charles Borromée. The village site at the Trait-Carré had a rather characteristic triangular parcelling-out of the land radiating outwards from a central square, in the centre of which the church was located. The land allotted to every tenant would fan out from that point in an isosceles triangular shape away from the town square. In this way, the farmhouses would all be situated close to the town centre, making it easy for everyone to help out and to participate in community-oriented tasks and festivities while being in a position to defend the village against attacks.

This geographical and architectural trademark of Old Charlesbourg, recognized as a provincial historic site (1965), is well worth a visit by enthusiasts of cultural geography and architectural heritage. There are only two examples of this kind of settlement layout in all of Canada: Charlesbourg and Bourg-Royal. Charlesbourg is rich in architectural landmarks: the church, built between 1827-33; the Jesuits grist mill and 15 other houses dating back to the pre-1830 period; and about 40 other buildings typical of the second half of the 19th century.

Introduction

Beauport is a borough of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on the Saint Lawrence River.

Beauport is a northeastern suburb of Quebec City. Manufacturers include paint, construction materials, printers, and hospital supplies. Food transportation is important to the economy. Attractions include Parc de la Chute-Montmorency (Montmorency Falls Park), which contains a fortification built in 1759 by James Wolfe and Manoir Montmorency, the home from 1791 to 1794 of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn.

The city's historic district contains many interesting churches and homes, including Bélanger-Girardin House, a National Historic Site of Canada where visitors can learn about Beauport's heritage. Annual events include the spring arts festival Salon de Mai and the summer Festival Folklorique des enfants du monde, a multicultural and international children's folklore festival.

History

Beauport was established in 1634, making it one of the oldest European-founded communities in Canada.

An Internment camp was set up at The Armoury in Beauport, Quebec from December 1914 to June 1916.

It was incorporated as a city in 1976 through the amalgamation of seven municipalities (Beauport, Saint-Michel-Archange, Giffard, Villeneuve, Montmorency, Courville and Sainte-Thérèse-de-Lisieux). During the 1990s its population continued to grow because of its economic diversification, available space, and outdoor recreational opportunities. On January 1, 2002, Beauport was merged into Quebec City.

Les Vampires de la Ville de Québec

For a city so recently reclaimed by the undead, Quebec City is naturally beset by numerous factions within the larger World of Darkness. That it spent a mere decade under the watchful eye of the Camarilla before coming under assault by the rabid forces of the Sabbat tells its own tale. But now the city of Quebec lies in the hands of the youngest sect, the League of the Night. With only a bare handful of defenders, can the league hold the territory it has gained in battle or will the conflict even be fought on a battlefield at all? Unlike the Camarilla which hand-picked the vampiric residents of Quebec City, the league is a militant interloper which forcibly injected itself into the latest round of the Camarilla-Sabbat war. With the clock ticking and Sabbat forces closing on the city, the league offered Quebec City's Kindred residents a devil's bargain, accept league hegemony or be overrun by the feral forces of the Sabbat.

That the Camarilla of Quebec City chose to accept league dominion over the final death is no surprise. But, now that the Sword of Caine has been beaten back, how many of the city's undead will keep their oaths of alliance to the league, for after all, is an oath that is given under duress truly fair or binding? The league's defenders aren't the only ones who are holding an unnecessary breath in anticipation of an answer to that question, for clearly many of the former members of the Camarilla are asking themselves that same question. For some the answer is easy, but not for all, because its not so simple a thing to forget a life-debt, especially when that life is eternal. Of course, while the league watches the former Camarilla members for traitorous behavior, they must also guard the borders against the Sabbat which will not soon forget the league's interference in their holy crusade. And while League of the Night, Sabbat and the Camarilla squabble over Quebec City like starving jackals, the other denizens of the night look upon the city with hungry eyes and await their opportunity to gain a foothold or outright supremacy.

Elysium



Brujah clan logo.png Brujah

The Brujah of Quebec City are a disparate group to say the least, but they have three things working in their favor. The first is age, most of the Rabble of the Eternal Capital are well over a century old and have time on their side. The second thing is that the majority are women, and as the ancient saying goes: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". So the League of the Night's more social arm is well represented. Lastly, the new duchess of the city is Andrea Visconti, a woman who was born and lived during La Belle Epoche as well as Italy's Liberal period which gave birth to Italian national unity. As a duchess she holds democracy and social progress as primary ideals, making Quebec City one of the most forward looking vampiric communities in the world. With Duchess Visconti at the helm Quebec City may very well enter a golden age, but only time can tell.

  • -- Andrea Visconti -- The new Duchess of Quebec City, formerly of Los Angeles.
  • -- Lydie Séverin - Countess of the Criminal Underworld and Street.
  • -- Zhi Chen Jiang (志辰江) -- Lady in service to the Countess of the Underworld.
  • -- Chou Shizuka (蝶静香) -- Lady in service to the Countess of the Underworld.
  • -- Cohen Pierce -- Brujah Knight.

Caitiff clan logo.png Caitiff

The arrival of the Caitiff in the form of Azazel Jones and his disciple Velvet Fang is a milestone. In local Camarilla cities, Caitiff like Jones and Fang were an untouchable caste that often received verbal and sometimes physical abuse. That is if they were lucky, for many Caitiff serve as scapegoats for local Camarilla problems or are exterminated like an odious kind of vermin. The league has a much more lenient and empathetic point of view on the Caitiff, granting them equal status based on the merit of their capacity. While this approach is far from ideal, the teeming masses of clanless vampires are willing to accept any kind of port in the storm. This means that it is extremely likely that Quebec City will become a mecca for the Caitiff. Lest this seem like an oversight on the part of the league leadership, consider that the League of the Night will need a veritable army if it is to expand in the DMZ between the warlike Sabbat and the calculating Camarilla.

Gangrel clan logo.png Gangrel

At the moment, there is only a single Gangrel in Quebec City, Ujarak, an young Inuit tribesman who was forcibly Embraced and then abandoned by his sire. His mortal tribe was horrified by what he had become, but in their way they dealt with the problem by banishing their formerly loved one so that he might find some kind of peace among his own kind. Given Quebec City's close proximity to vast wilderness of the Quebecois forest lands, it seems likely that Ujarak will not be the last Gangrel to pass through the city. Moreover, the wilds are home to werewolves and with so much unspoiled wilderness, their numbers are likely to be great. With the recent outbreak of vampiric hostilities, the Garou have doubtless noticed the growing numbers of undead in Quebec City, so perhaps have a few Gangrel present in the city could prove useful in any upcoming hostilities with the local werewolves.

  • -- Ujarak -- Inuit tribesman.

Giovanni clan logo.png Giovanni

The city of Quebec has only one token Giovanni at the moment, but given the necromancer's support in the struggle against the Sabbat, that could change. Germano Giovanni is a prickly subject these nights, as a Giovanni he stands outside the League, even though his heroism during the Sabbat siege of 2032 earned him an offer of league membership, which he then promptly refused. As it is common knowledge that the city would likely have fallen to the Sabbat without Giovanni aid, the league finds itself beholden to the necromancers and thus tolerant of Germano's unusual status in Quebec City. Despite this, they have made clear to Germano that other Giovanni won't be welcomed into the city, his unique status is his alone, which makes him the go-to-man for league vampires needing Giovanni services or for Giovanni who want to accomplish something in Quebec City.

  • -- Germano Giovanni -- A former clan enforcer raised to local Don. {Considered an ally of the League in Quebec}

Lasombra clan logo.png Lasombra

When it comes to the Lasombra antitribu, the League of the Night has an open door policy, provided the magister in question can prove his or her loyalty. At this point, it is well known just how much the magisters hate their counterparts in the Sabbat and that they make excellent allies in the war against the Sabbat. Quebec City's lone magister has been a resident since the city was liberated in 2022. In fact, unbeknownst to all but a few, he has funded many humanitarian projects over the last twenty years. While most Catholic priests are pacifists, Father Acconci took up arms to defend his city and when the League offered him membership, he accepted. While his status is as a probationary courtier, he holds far more influence than some of the city's counts and with the passing of each night more Kindred are becoming aware of this. Some believe that Father Acconci will soon become the league's first Count of Religion, but only time will tell.

Malkavian clan logo.png Malkavian

Nosferatu clan logo.png Nosferatu

The Sewer Rats of Quebec City are an excellent example of the factionalism that currently subdivides the Kindred of the capital. In essence they are a microcosm of secular disfunction. The eldest of the Quebec City rats is Petit Lard who was Embraced in the century following the rise of the Camarila and she knows no other system of government nor does she trust this new league of the night to protect the masquerade and her interests. While her childe Lilianne was Embraced during the fin de siecle, the cusp of the Camarilla's golden age as it began its great decline into the 20th century, as such she has seen its many failings and has no true loyalty to the old sect while feeling no real connection to the League. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the youngest Nosferaru: Samuel has seemingly abandoned the Camarilla, completely throwing in his lot with the League and its revolutionary agenda. Naturally, this difference of political views has created friction and to some degree rivalry amoug the Sewer Rats of Quebec, but their strife reflects the greater disparaty of the city's Kindred as a whole.

Toreador clan logo.png Toreador

  • -- Elizabeth Rotari -- Confirmed courtier and local Bard.
  • -- Eldred Morce -- Childe of the former Camarilla prince and royal hostage. {Held under house arrest by Elizabeth Rotari}

Tremere clan logo.png Tremere

Once upon a time, Quebec City belonged entirely to Clan Tremere. Its prince, Annabelle Lestrange was a favored childe of the Inner Councilor Mirlinda and a very gifted thaumaturgy in her own right. In 2022 the Sabbat successfully carried out the single largest dream assault ever conceived upon the Tremere of Quebec. Why they felt the need to wipe-out the largely quiescent Tremere of Quebec City instead of destroying New York or Chicago remains a mystery. When the supernatural dust finally settled, a Camarilla assault group "re-took" the city from the Sabbat and established a thriving Camarilla outpost. Among those allowed to re-settle were two Tremere, a master and an apprentice. But fate has not been kind to the Tremere, at least in regards to Quebec City.

  • -- Eugenio Estevez -- Tremere Regent of Quebec City. {Stance: Politically Neutral}
  • -- Masika St.John -- Apprentice of the 6th Circle. {Stance: Politically Neutral}
  • -- Verbruch -- Guardian of the Tremere of Quebec City. {Stance: Politically Neutral}

Ventrue clan logo.png Ventrue

The Ventrue of Quebec City are an insular duo to be sure.

  • -- Jeremy Sanderson -- One of the Camarilla's youngest and most successful Alastors.
  • -- Dr.Émeric "Vespasien" Bouchard -- Senior Professor of Sociology and Master Mason: neonate Childe of Jeremy Sanderson.
