Afterword: In the Centuries to Come
Hamburg is called the "Cursed City" for a number of reasons, but it is a fading epithet among Hamburg's mortal citizens. For the Undead it is an entirely different matter, for since the Eighth Century, the city has been forbidden ground to the undead children of Caine. While the city does have a particularly violent past with countless invasions, fires and floods, this cannot account for the city's status among the undead. While little is known of why the city is unequivocally fatal to vampires, there is a rather extensive list of would be Cainite conquerors and transplants. All were able to take residence without seeming difficulty and there are many correspondences detailing the first year or so of undead residency. However, the number of correspondences dwindles down to a handful by the third year of residency and all correspondence ends by the fifth year, without exception. In short, the city is simple a death trap for the undead, though to be fair, no bodies or other evidence of the fates of over a hundred vampires has ever been documented by anyone, including myself. --------- Aristotle de Laurent
