Work in Progress

The Week of Nightmares in the 90's hit mages harder than they realized at the time. With connection to the horizons lost, and thus the masters with them, those that remained on earth were forced to rebuild. To reforge what was lost.

The technocracy is on its death bed after a vicious attack on DataDyne Industries, the local construct. With too few mages to cover all the bases they have resorted to wage slaves of the 'enlightened citizenry'. Humanity has been left to flounder, in their eyes. Watching the masses ever so slowly turn away from the rigidity of their guidance, and embrace more esoteric views. On rare occassions they have grudgingly asked for the help both Traditions and Desperates. But to what end? They are gasping for air, but it might just be an act.

The Traditions are on their victory lap, but they are far from innocent. While they have helped the technocrats in desperate times, it has been with trepidation. Any Verbena will tell you there is no more dangerous animal than one that is cornered and injured. The few mages that managed to escape the sudden explosion of the Crystal Lake Chantry in 2007, are still convinced the culprit was a Technocrat spy.

While humanity might be leaning more towards the Traditions these days, the Traditions have become aware that their greatest threat might be some coming inside the house. Long has they lost a good amount of the flexiblity and freedom they were founded on. Instead many traditions has become not 'followers of The One' but 'Christian', not the 'fate seers' but 'the stoners', not 'the holders of knowledge' but a collection of rigid ceremonialist. Every tradition would have shift to make it to the finish line but changing centuries of prejudices and assumptions isn't easy.
