• -- The Order of Hermes asks the help of the other Traditions, as they fear the Tremere are trying to steal them their magickal artefacts.
• -- The Tremere, fearing the Mages are trying to make experiences about Paradox requiring Kindred Blood, asks the help of the Camarilla.
• -- Anarchist terrorism. But for once, the Anarchs or the Brujah are not behind it: It's the visible part of the War of Traditions: Tradition Mages, defending their Magickal Nodes and Artefacts, are fighting Camarilla Kindred fighting to protect the Tradition of Masquerade.
• -- Casualties are high in each side. The Tremere and Order of Hermes are thought to use this situation to further their own little vendetta problems by their allies.
• -- The War is too visible: The Inquisition try to destroy lone weakened Kindred and Mages.
• -- The Sons of Ether plan to use their knowledge about the truth behind the War of Traditions to make their place among the Tradition Mages
• -- While the Masques fight the Mages in the streets and behind the political/police scene, the Veilleurs search the reason behind this War. While they discover the Tremere and Order of Hermes are indeed to blame, they discover the hand of the growing Technocracy behind the violence outbursts.
• -- François Villon and the Leader of the Sons of Ether meet after preliminary encounters between the Sons of Ethers and the Veilleurs. They decide the War has no reason to be, and sign secretly the Peace of Tradition Treaty.
• -- Villon writes his Edict about the limitation of meetings with Mages.
• -- The Leader of the Sons of Ether meet the leaders of the Traditions in Paris, and ask their help for their reconversion. The Nine Traditions of Paris accept the peace treaty with the Kindred.

• -- The Order of Hermes must surrender half their Nodes and magickal artefacts to the other Traditions. The Sons of Ether continue to plan their treason against the Technocracy.
