The city can be a dangerous place no matter who you are, there was a time when one would assume being a creature of the night was enough to elevate one to "The Top of the Food-chain" but that simply is not the case. Vampires, Lycanthropes, and any other number of creatures all have things they fear for one reason or another. Even those who do not fear the other things that go bump in the night though often seek out a haven or sanctuary in one form or another... A place to call home.
The city draws its own, Vampires are not uncommon for this is a place where the night has a life all its own. Be they businessmen, power brokers, or hedonists the city nights draw all breeds both mortal and otherwise. The swamps hold many secrets and a beauty all their own appreciated by many breeds and the soul of the city is as old as some of its residents if not more so. For creatures whose passions are as potent as their thirst, whose emotions can run to greater heights than most mortals dare dream... this city is a paradise unto itself
The pursuit of companionship, a place to call home, maybe even a family of some sort. It is in the end the simple things even creatures such as this take for granted in their long lives.
That is where the mansion simply called "The Night Manor" comes into things. Tucked away in a dark corner of the city near the waterfront and the bayou sits a vast mansion surrounded by weeping willows and thick woods. It has been maintained for as long as anyone can remember and has acted as a home or sanctuary of sorts for the local coven of vampires. Their benefactor holds only a few rules chief among them is that battle is not permitted within his walls, if battle is to be joined he asks that it be taken outside his home and estate. This is in a way why the coven chose to reside here, it is in a way why the Coven chose to reside here, it is a sanctuary... it is neutral ground... it is in the old vernacular "Elysium"
