1000 years ago, Rykonian, Daleadus' sire, a master of Koldunic and Runic Socery created there mystical stones to trap three demons behind a mystical gate. He hid this gate in the center of christiandom, thinking that the closer it is to Peter's grave, the safer it will be. It is rumored that whoever doth open the gate will get from each demon one wish. Whoever controls the stones would said to be able to control the fate of the world, as these were Lucifer's creations, his dark angels. The stones were fought over in secret by the great powers for 400 years, before Rykonian was able to gain all three. Being the creator, he had a direct link to the stones through the blood. Naturally, his childe had that same connection, if diluted. Because of this Daleadus can only sense one is nearby, he can't find the exact location. When he learned of the stones, and the role his sire played, he betrayed Rykonian, staking the 2,500 vampire and hiding him in the catacombs of the Vatican, ironically, right next to the gate. He then went on a crusade to find the stones that his sire had hide. He searched alone, as the stones were largely forgotten about during the great Anarch revolt and the forming of the Camarilla. He was able to find two of them. The third alluded him as he searched all over Europe and the Middle East. He decided to search America, San Francisco being his last stop. he wants to become Prince, or overthrow him at least, to gain more freedom to search for the last stone himself.
A hundred hundred revolutions of the Earth
after the death of the Savior,
The Dragon did create three earths
To one earth he gave the mircle that the blind seek
To one he gave the power the lepers seek
To one he gave the power the soldiers seek.
Combine these three under the See,
And awaken that which no one seeks.
The Characters find the stone that Blind Seek.
After the coup attempt, and daleadus either goes into hiding or is prince, he learns that the stone is close when the character with it or touched it is close to him. he grows suspicious and orders them followed. They are met the next night by a small group demanding the stone.
If they go to the Tremere, or there is a tremere in the group that tells the teremere primogen:
The Tremere Primogen will know nothing about it, but if asked, will pass the information on to his regent. In one weeks time, the characters will recieve a personal visit from Lucian, one of the Council of Seven, personally. Tremere himself is seeking the great stones for he thinks he will be able to Control Lucifer's Angels in the jyhad and deliever Gehenna to all but his line, and to finally rid himself of Tzimisce once and for all. The tremere that visits will be most persuasive for retrival of the stone, and the others. He will tell them to find the other two and bring them to him. If they refuse, he'll find leverage to use against them, mortal family members, loved ones, sires, hcilder, the actual kindred's lives. Once the troupe gets the other two stones, and deliever them, Lucian will take them to Rome where they enter the catacombs. They will be met by the other six, shady members of the Tremere council, and a floating casket which entombs Tremere, a self-appointed torper spot where he can communicate with the council, and is soo enchangted that nothign can break it but himself. THe stones will be placed on pedistal and the gates will open. Tremere will awaken from his slumber, and the troupe will witness an epic battle between Tremre, his council, and the demons. IN the end, the demons die, and do does Tremere. The council, disillusioned, and already sensing the blood bond of the family breaking, their connection to vampiric life breaking, will escpae adn attempt to reorganize the clan. *All Tremere now must feed twice as much to sustain vampiric life. THis is a very light version of the withering.* Daleadus will walk in and find the characters and be enraged, and run off. yes, Daleadus is back.
If they do not go to the tremere: They are greeted by a wandering occultict Nosferatu named Gorgan who has some lore stories of the stone. Indeed, he can recite the above poem word for word. He is the loremaster of mystical artificats. he will give them information that all three stones are in the city. they must find the other two before someone gets them or gets theirs first. He doesn't know where the Gate is, or how to use them. he just knows about them adn that tehy are too dangerous. When the characters get the other two, Gorgan will rejoin with the group and tell them that he has solved the poem, and knows where the gate is, but warns them they must not go. He even fails to mention where, unless co-erced. He will tell them without a fight and go back to the sewers to fight off his "demons"(as a Nictuku has heard of the stones, 3 of them in one place is a great magnet. he is on his way to find out and get the stones for -his- master). The characters go to Rome, and if they activate the gate will unleash the demons. Rykonian will then wake up and tell them that they need to help him find the demons and end them.
Note on the stones: They are indestructable, at least by mortal means. The only way to destroy them is to destory demons each encases or to have Rykonian enchant something mortal. This was an oversight by the ancient Tzimisce. He failed to realize that the demons needed to be bound to something in order to exsist on this plane. Before they were binding onto and jumping from mortal to mortal. By entrapping them into the stones, the demons who can't pocess inanimate obects normally, were granted a chance at immortality and used their own magic once inside the stone to bind them to it. If they find Rykonian and unstake thim, he will tell them this, he's had 500 years to think on it. He will attempt to switch it, which can only be done in the presence of the demon itself, and in a blinding, brilliant display, which will kill Rykonian, the spirits will be broken from their stoney tomb, but still behind the gate. the spirits will bind themselves to three of the characters. these characters both gain 3 dots in physical attributes, 3 discipline dots, but also firery red eyes, and small horns.
