Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and a narrow strip of land known as Oujtrejourdain which connects the kingdom to the sea of Jaffa have been returned to Christian control by the treaty between the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and Sultan al-Kamil. The Cainites of the area have been brought together by the Diet of Olives, a meeting of powerful elders of the region which promises a peace between the vampires of the region for at least ten years through 3 rules. Mutual non-aggression to be observed between all Cainites involved and their vassals and lieges All parties involved will share any information regarding the Baali and those who would come to the Holy Land to plunder its treasures and faith No Cainite lord involved would agree to grant the hospitality of his or her domain to any transgressor of the above rules (the Salubri convinced all in attendance that the Tremere almost always fall into this category). Representatives at the creation of the Diet of Olives Qawiyya el-Ghaduba (Salubri Warrior) - The creator of the Diet of Olives and the true power behind the throne of the Prince of Jerusalem Nahum ben Enosh (Salubri Healer) - Childe of Saulot and co-creator of the Diet of Olives Etienne de Fauberge (Bashirite Ravnos) - Prince of Acre Zakariah (8th Generation Assamite Vizier) - Vassal and Childe of Ahmed ibn Zayyat the Prince of Tripoli Rafqa (Brujah) - Prince of Beirut Shahnazar (Malkavian) - An elder of Jerusalem Unnamed Ghoul - Representative of Cyrpus and its Prince Nehemiah, acted as a silent witness and did not sign as the elder had given instructions to make no concessions or sign any treaties on behalf, merely provide an accounting of what occurred. With the peace in place the Cainites of the region, both native and foreign, seek to rebuild and take advantage of the night. Your characters are young elders of potent blood who see the Diet of Olives either as a beacon of what could be for peace among Cainites or an opportunity to grow in a region with an enforced treaty of peace.
