With the dissappearance of Detroit's prince, Jarvis Burleigh to Windsor, Detroit was
suddenly vulnerable to sabbat attack, especially since her own prince had just joined
forces with the sabbat, presumably over the blood disease.
Camarilla kindred abandoned the city, having no power structure in force whatsoever since
the primogen council had also unofficially been disbanded.
The Saint Louis Missouri conclave was held in order for Detroit kindred to join forces
with other kindred, gain a Dux Bellorum, and some power structure, and form a strategy to
reclaim detroit.
Phase I of the strategy was to allow the sabbat to become comfortable in Detroit, and then
launch a counter attack.
Under the leadership of Traci Casoli the Dux Bellorum, and Winston Adonis the Tribune
(which basically means if we failed his ass was grass}, different combat groups or squads
were formed.
The combat groups were divided in this way:
Our group's goal in the crusade was twofold:
1) To quietly make contact with any remaining Camarilla.
and
2) To perfrom a subtle survey of places that could be used as safe houses.
The crusade ended sometime while our group, unfortunately, was asleep or in Romania. When we
were awakened by Manfred von Rheinstadt, in May of 1999, the crusade was already finished
and the city was poised to choose a new prince and primogen council.
As we now know, the new prince elected was Samuel Godkin and many of the primogen from
the old regime were able to continue in their posts, including Alicia Lee, Esmerelda, and
Myrrha, with Melissa Cadigan continuing as the Mistress of Harpies.
