Map of Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a major city in Southern California, and the main setting of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
History[]
In early 2003, the Anarchs were ousted by invading Kuei-jin. The Camarilla moved in swiftly, appointing Sebastian LaCroix as Prince of the city. Despite the Camarilla's claim, violence escalated to open warfare between the Camarilla, the Sabbat, the Anarchs and the Kuei-jin, both over the territory itself and the possession of the artifact known as the Ankaran Sarcophagus.
Description, Society and Culture[]
Los Angeles is a city steeped in supernatural intrigue and conflict. It serves as the main setting of the game, divided into four key regions: Santa Monica, Downtown, Hollywood, and Chinatown. Each area has its own unique atmosphere and is ruled by different Barons, such as Therese Voerman in Santa Monica and Isaac Abrams in Hollywood.
The society of Los Angeles is a battleground for various vampire factions. Historically, it was an Anarch Free State, where vampires rejected the authority of the Camarilla, a sect that enforces the Masquerade. However, the Camarilla has made attempts to reclaim control, leading to tensions and power struggles. The city is also home to other supernatural entities, such as the Kuei-jin, who add another layer of complexity to the political landscape.
Culturally, the city reflects the diversity and chaos of its inhabitants. The Anarchs value freedom and individuality, while the Camarilla emphasizes order and tradition. This clash of ideologies is central to the narrative, creating a rich tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and moral dilemmas.
