Coney Island - Brooklyn

Coney Island and the Caitiff

Once the home of the archetypal amusement park, Coney Island has fallen on hard times. Skeletal remnants of the once-proud rides and attractions can be spotted from the Belt Parkway as one wends one's way along the south side of Brooklyn, but most of the laughter is gone. Still, there are those who still take pleasure in what was once a cotton-candy wonderland: the Caitiff.

While the Caitiff walk practically every street in New York, it is the ruins of Coney Island that they scurry back to when one sect or the other gets too predatory. Many sooner or later become Panders, but there is a core who cling fiercely to their independence and who, conspicuous in their presence, will venture to the doorstep of the chantry or the lobby of Polonia's current residence.

Of course, while the Caitiff may wander into others' territory, they don't take kindly to being intruded upon themselves. All of Steeplechase is rigged with numerous booby-traps; the parachute drop in particular has claimed any number of victims.
