Wars & Jyhad

2003 - 2007: Beginning of the Tremere-Assamite conflict and skirmishes, followed by the Tremere-Assamite War. The Camarilla provided little official support to the Tremere in this area for fear of spreading forces too thin while trying to deal with other problems such as growing hostility between the other clans, mostly regarding the Ma'el and Ventrue. However, the Tremere called in many favors and boons from allies to assist them. Rumor is Clan Brujah may have secretly helped the Tremere behind the scenes. Many assassinations occured, but one failed in 2003 when an attempt was made on two well known Ventrue: Justicar Demetrius and an american named Walker Smithson. Both survived the attack.

Other skirmishes and small wars erupt around the world, thanks to the jyhad. Many forces fight each other both in the open and behind the scenes. Camarilla, Assamites, Ma'el, Black Hand, Sabbat, Mages, Werewolves, and other sects and supernaturals all become involved in one way or another. Only the Inconnu seems to remained out of the fighting. Some believe the Antediluvians are awake and in control of the jyhad behind the scenes. The Black Hand elders don't even seem to know what's going on. Only the Del'Roh seems to know what is going on, and she will not share her knowledge. She simply orders the Qadi Tribunal and Seraphim, and when questioned she threatens them with the wrath of the ancient ones. This threat has worked so far.

During this period, a disease was released by an unknown power. It attacks the mind and senses, resulting in decreased auspex and dominate powers for vampires. The disease has no effect on mortals.

2008-2010: World War III broke out, partly a result of the jyhad. By the time it ended in 2010, Syria had been nuked, many countries became plagued by pestilence and famine, diseases and death. The war was both biological and chemical, with many conventional strikes by air, land and sea. In addition to the D-day of Syria, a few relatively minor nuclear exchanges occured.

2009: Tremere-Assamite War ended, but the Tremere were reduced from a clan of 120 vampires to a clan of only 40.

2015: Inner Circle meets. The Camarilla declares war on the Ma'el, at which time the Ma'el Inner Circle representative Zo'or does not seem surprised. He merely nodds and leaves, commenting on the terrible future that awaits both the Ma'el and the Camarilla.

As of 2017

The Ma'el mothership has taken position behind Earth's moon, and the Ma'el still on Earth have gone into hiding. However, they still control many governments and many supernaturals. Most have done away with their alien appearances and are blending in with society, acting as spies and warriors for their superiors who remain in various secret bases around the world. The Camarilla claims the Ma'el must have been responsible for bombing the Assamites in Syria, though this has not been proven.

Justicar Caize discovered that the Ma'el headquarters is located at the Sabbat capitol, Mexico City. The Camarilla is preparing to attack.

Dr. Greene came back from the Ma'el and requested the protection of the New Orleans Princedom in exchange for his knowledge and help in fighting the Ma'el.
