Rome is a city constantly redefining itself in a tug-of-war between piousness and avarice; even Kindred are not spared the undercurrents of faith and ideology. Yet within both spheres lie ample opportunity for enrichment should one seize them wisely.

Newly restored to the seat of power, the Ventrue Prince Camilla encourages wild abandon amongst the Kindred, celebrating their superiority sometimes to dangerous consequences. This laissez-faire conduct divides the court; some clans seizing the opportunity to display dominance while others proceeding with much more caution; of note, the Cainite court assuming a defiant anti-clerical stance. The rise of the Inquisition and undulating waves of papal control present both treacherous waters and fertile ground for Kindred looking to gain a foothold in Kine institutions.
