Five Years Later

Prosperity and a time of ease came over the town after the departure of the Midnight Circus one cool September night. Under the guidance of the Baron and his advisers, the town was able to expand its economy. The secondary docks began to be used again, while the marketplaces expanded to make room for more traveling merchants stopping in the city.

Child slavery has been completely eliminated from the economy of the city. The expansion of the House of the Setting Sun has created a thriving gambling industry, as well as expansion of narcotics production. House Dumas has changed their business model to cater to highly involved sexual experiences that last longer than the one-night-stand.

To the west, the town of Castelon had been rendered a crater soon after the departure of the circus. The next night a gigantic cement wall topped with razor wire surrounded the crater. The garou and other were-folk state that a strengthening taint lurks behind the wall, but does not spill beyond it. Only two have attempted to explore the area beyond the wall, neither returned. It has been ruled off-limits by the chief of the tribe in the north.

But things always have a way of becoming more difficult...

Pushing thru the market square

So many mothers sighing
News had just come over,

We had five years left to cry in
