<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has gone missing. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine. From January 22, 2016 until November 8, 2019, he was Seneschal.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. He has begun investigations into the neighboring territories of the Domain, namely the Sabbat of Palm Coast and of Northwestern Jacksonville.

After setting up and distracting the Sabbat of Jacksonville, to allow the Ventrue to save their elder, Alonso's humanity slipped, and he departed the domain for personal reasons.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==
Nothing that a name would be put to.

==Allies==
He's still working to ingratiate himself with the local Primogen, of which he's had mixed success.

*"Mr. Cornell, you will obey me, or so help me, I will strip you of standing right here in front of the Sabbat!"
*"Ventrue are like lions. Dangerous in a group, and when they all stand together, they can make elephants tremble. But look closer, and while the lions are impressive with their majestic manes, it is the females that do all the work--look at Justicar Lucinde and Queen Anne. Now Lasombra, Lasombra are like tigers. A tiger does not need other tigers to get things done, and a single tiger can make an elephant move."
*"Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius." -- said when having to deal with Hunters who had come to the Domain.

==Rumors==
*His sire hasn't 'really' let him out of accounting, status bedamned.
*He despises his fellow "natives", considering them savages.
*Had a torrid romance with the childer of the Toreador Primogen before her death--and she haunts him to this day.
*He owns a blackamoor goldfish, that he must keep alive, without ghouling it, from his sire.
*Alonso has entered into a coterie with others whose intent is to control the local underworld and police.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Carter was embraced in the mid 1800s, and spent much of his early embrace decades under the Accounting of his sire. His first overt foray into Camarilla politics was in the Domain of Gainesville, FL, where he held every city position save for Sheriff & Prince, but including Primogen of the Toreador for a bizarre two weeks.

After the fall of [http://wiki.gnvtnc.org/index.php?title=Category:Barony:Gainesville Gainesville] to the Followers of Set and their apostate pawns, Carter and the expatriates who migrated with him, took St. Augustine from the Sabbat. Here he declared Praxis, and ruled over America's Haunted Domain. During his reign is when he began to reach out and travel more, accruing allies and contacts throughout the Domains of North America.

In his time of rule, he and other Princes of the Southeast discovered a more insidious plot against the Camarilla in the form of infernalism that was spreading like a quiet plague amongst their domains. Alongside Princes from the Georgian domains, as well as those in the Bay area of Florida, a temporary coterie of powerful kindred of the South teamed to quell the inferalist plot, culminating in a final combat in the area of Brunswick, Georgia.

Soon afterward, he assisted the Domains of Carrollton & Savannah, Georgia in a sweeping maneuver to rid Northern Georgia of the Sabbat. The result of which was the return of the Domain of Atlanta to Camarilla hands. It was in this time that he received measures of standing from Prince Arich Dolen and Prince Julian Pratt for the commitment of time, resources and the assistance of St. Augustine to the fight.

His rule came to an abrupt end with an assassination attempt from the Florida Followers of Set and their Tampa apostates, which drove him underground. Still sore from their losses in North Florida, and pressure to give up gains in Camarilla territory, they attacked Carter during a Princes' summit held in Orlando, FL. It was during this time 'dead', that he was adopted into Clan Gangrel as a cover, and he became Primogen of the Gangrel for a period of time.

He was able to return to the public eye as himself at the Nonclave celebration in 2006, where he was voted 'best dressed' at the event, and where he lead clan Ventrue into beating a pre-infernal Eddie Glim and Clan Nosferatu at a Scavenger Hunt. Not long after, he began working closely with the Brujah Justicar's office. He served as either a servire or an Archon-in-training, depending upon who is asked, and was spoken as possibly being taken into service for the Toreador Justicar as well, as his skills and services were becoming to be in demand. Elements within his own clan however, ensured that he instead was taken on by Lucinde as an Archon to Clan Ventrue.

During his time as Archon, he'd been in the presence of all of the Justicariate on more than one occasion. Twice before the assembled members of the Justicars, he's acted as the "Master of Ceremonies" at Conclaves in Minneapolis & Baltimore.

When he was not in the field working for his Lady, Carter tarried in his old domain of St. Augustine, assisting the Court there in nightly matters.

He has recently been released from duties as Archon to Lady Lucinde; now what is in store for 'Citizen Carter'?

Rumor has it, he is the "Prince" of Bermuda nowadays, using the island as personal Domain, running a 'resort' for Archons when they need a break, and as a staging place for Kindred moving from Europe to North America, and vice versa.

He has recently came back to St. Augustine, to give some stability to Clan Ventrue after some recent upheaval, and loss of territory to the Sabbat of Jacksonville.

==Quotes==
"That boy ain't right."
----
"Well, maybe if they'd stop temptin' folks with their 'super secret' magics that their clan can do, then folks everywhere wouldn't know about 'em."
----
Said about all of his Seneschals: "Of course he/she is insane. Always keep an absolute nutter as your second-in-command. They'll point out flaws in your plans that your sane mind overlooks, and if you ever leave for any time, they're in charge--which means the populace will clamor for your return, and beg you never to leave them again."
----
''“The Followers of Set, in any of their particular denominations, follow a Theocratic system of governance that often is allied to the Camarilla. However, it is a foreign governance. While we may have ambassadors to said governmental body, and there may be Followers of Set that find refuge in the Camarilla, a Camarillan’s first and foremost loyalty will and shall always be to the holistic form of kindred governance, the Camarilla. Those who eschew this in order to follow the Theocracy of the Setites, forfeit their rights as a Camarillan citizen (although NOT their responsibilities), and risk finding themselves in violation of the Traditions of the Camarilla. The Camarilla does not otherwise care who or what you worship, as it is an a-religious governing body. Whenever a Theocracy of Kindred governance such as the myriad found underneath the umbrella of the Followers of Set comes into conflict with the Camarilla, patriots of the Camarilla shall follow their elders, not those of another, and independent clan. Doing otherwise is a betrayal of the blood.”'' -- An opinion given by Carter regarding the Followers of Set and the Camarilla, before the Society of the Hague.

==Rumors==
*Carter is an apostate of Set.
*He's a cowboy who became Prince that had an Indian for a Seneschal.
*The Setites of Florida are alternately trying to kill him or convert him.
*The person walking around now claiming to be Carter Johnson is actually a doppelganger. The real Carter Johnson was killed by Setites years ago.
*He served as a Primogen to Prince Nathlar Shadowbourne as well as performing as an Archon.
*During his time as an Archon is to Lucinde, he served the entirety of the Justicariate as a whole.
*His snakeskin boots are made from an elder Setite who crossed him.
*His snakeskin boots are made from a Ventrue apostate of Set who crossed him.
*His snakeskin boots are made from a snake. He just lets people speculate on what they're made from.
*Carter Johnson isn't nearly as 'obsessed' with Setites as people believe.

The result of which was the return of the Domain of Atlanta to Camarilla hands. It was in this time that he received measures of standing from Prince Arich Dolen and Prince Julian Pratt for the commitment of time, resources and the assistance of St. Augustine to the fight.

His rule came to an abrupt end with an assassination attempt from the Florida Followers of Set and their Tampa apostates, which drove him underground. Still sore from their losses in North Florida, and pressure to give up gains in Camarilla territory, they attacked Carter during a Princes' summit held in Orlando, FL. It was during this time 'dead', that he was adopted into Clan Gangrel as a cover, and he became Primogen of the Gangrel for a period of time.

He was able to return to the public eye as himself at the Nonclave celebration in 2006, where he was voted 'best dressed' at the event, and where he lead clan Ventrue into beating a pre-infernal Eddie Glim and Clan Nosferatu at a Scavenger Hunt. Not long after, he began working closely with the Brujah Justicar's office. He served as either a servire or an Archon-in-training, depending upon who is asked, and was spoken as possibly being taken into service for the Toreador Justicar as well, as his skills and services were becoming to be in demand. Elements within his own clan however, ensured that he instead was taken on by Lucinde as an Archon to Clan Ventrue.

During his time as Archon, he's been in the presence of all of the Justicariate on more than one occasion. Twice before the assembled members of the Justicars, he's acted as the "Master of Ceremonies" at Conclaves in Minneapolis & Baltimore.

When he was not in the field working for his Lady, Carter tarries in his old domain of St. Augustine, assisting the Court there in nightly matters.

He has recently been released from duties as Archon to Lady Lucinde; now what is in store for 'Citizen Carter'?

Rumor has it, he is the "Prince" of Bermuda nowadays, using the island as personal Domain, running a 'resort' for Archons when they need a break, and as a staging place for Kindred moving from Europe to North America, and vice versa.

==Quotes==
"That boy ain't right."
----
"Well, maybe if they'd stop temptin' folks with their 'super secret' magics that their clan can do, then folks everywhere wouldn't know about 'em."
----
Said about all of his Seneschals: "Of course he/she is insane. Always keep an absolute nutter as your second-in-command. They'll point out flaws in your plans that your sane mind overlooks, and if you ever leave for any time, they're in charge--which means the populace will clamor for your return, and beg you never to leave them again."
----
''“The Followers of Set, in any of their particular denominations, follow a Theocratic system of governance that often is allied to the Camarilla. However, it is a foreign governance. While we may have ambassadors to said governmental body, and there may be Followers of Set that find refuge in the Camarilla, a Camarillan’s first and foremost loyalty will and shall always be to the holistic form of kindred governance, the Camarilla. Those who eschew this in order to follow the Theocracy of the Setites, forfeit their rights as a Camarillan citizen (although NOT their responsibilities), and risk finding themselves in violation of the Traditions of the Camarilla. The Camarilla does not otherwise care who or what you worship, as it is an a-religious governing body. Whenever a Theocracy of Kindred governance such as the myriad found underneath the umbrella of the Followers of Set comes into conflict with the Camarilla, patriots of the Camarilla shall follow their elders, not those of another, and independent clan. Doing otherwise is a betrayal of the blood.”'' -- An opinion given by Carter regarding the Followers of Set and the Camarilla, before the Society of the Hague.

==Rumors==
*Carter is an apostate of Set.
*He's a cowboy who became Prince that had an Indian for a Seneschal.
*The Setites of Florida are alternately trying to kill him or convert him.
*The person walking around now claiming to be Carter Johnson is actually a doppelganger. The real Carter Johnson was killed by Setites years ago.
*He served as a Primogen to Prince Nathlar Shadowbourne as well as performing as an Archon.
*During his time as an Archon is to Lucinde, he served the entirety of the Justicariate as a whole.
*His snakeskin boots are made from an elder Setite who crossed him.
*His snakeskin boots are made from a Ventrue apostate of Set who crossed him.
*His snakeskin boots are made from a snake. He just lets people speculate on what they're made from.
*Carter Johnson isn't nearly as 'obsessed' with Setites as people believe.

'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has been named Seneschal. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. He has begun investigations into the neighboring territories of the Domain, namely the Sabbat of Palm Coast and of Northwestern Jacksonville.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city, and to date, no new Brujah have stayed in the city longer than a fortnight.

'''Fall 2014''': The city is beset by a rash of attacks on influences. Signs point to savvy Sabbat, or the neighboring Domain of Jacksonville.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

'''Spring 2016''': The detente with SE Jax seems to have settled, right in time for the Masked attacker of Malkavians to return.

==The Domain Itself==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Independent Samedi have their own territory and Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods, which is the Lincolnville neighborhood. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Elysia==
*[http://lightnermuseum.org/ Lightner Museum]
*[http://staugustinedistillery.com/ St. Augustine Distillery] (Samedi owned)
*Old Governor's Mansion (only on Halloween)
*Anastasia Island Art Institute
*USS Dauntless (Steamboat)
*Flagler Cultural Center & Library

==City Rumors==
*On the night of Halloween, the Necropolis of St. Augustine merges physically with the real St. Augustine.
*There is a 'well' of 'black water' that is in truth, an open portal to the Abyss located somewhere in the city.
*St. Augustine was founded as the 'Haunted Domain', as it is the most haunted city in North America; they have quietly changed it to 'the Haunted Domain of the Americas' at the behest of Queen Anne of London.
*Some sort of 'Cat God' resides in the territory, and kills anything (supernatural or otherwise) that tarries too close to it's lair.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has been named Seneschal. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. He has begun investigations into the neighboring territories of the Domain, namely the Sabbat of Palm Coast and of Northwestern Jacksonville.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==
Nothing that a name would be put to.

==Allies==
He's still working to ingratiate himself with the local Primogen, of which he's had mixed success.

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city, and to date, no new Brujah have stayed in the city longer than a fortnight.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

'''Spring 2016''': The detente with SE Jax seems to have settled, right in time for the Masked attacker of Malkavians to return.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Independent Samedi have their own territory and Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods, which is the Lincolnville neighborhood. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has been named Seneschal. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. Further, he had taken on the accounting of a neonate Brujah, who has no other Kindred in the city to turn to, as the Brujah as a whole, were absent from the Domain for a little over two years.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==
Nothing that a name would be put to.

==Allies==
He's still working to ingratiate himself with the local Primogen, of which he's had mixed success.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city, and to date, no new Brujah have stayed in the city longer than a fortnight.

'''Fall 2014''': The city is beset by a rash of attacks on influences. Signs point to savvy Sabbat, or the neighboring Domain of Jacksonville.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

'''Spring 2016''': The detente with SE Jax seems to have settled, right in time for the Masked attacker of Malkavians to return.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Independent Samedi have their own territory and Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods, which is the Lincolnville neighborhood. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Elysia==
*[http://lightnermuseum.org/ Lightner Museum]
*[http://staugustinedistillery.com/ St. Augustine Distillery] (Samedi owned)
*Old Governor's Mansion (only on Halloween)
*Anastasia Island Art Institute
*USS Dauntless (Steamboat)
*Flagler Cultural Center & Library

==City Rumors==
*On the night of Halloween, the Necropolis of St. Augustine merges physically with the real St. Augustine.
*There is a 'well' of 'black water' that is in truth, an open portal to the Abyss located somewhere in the city.
*St. Augustine was founded as the 'Haunted Domain', as it is the most haunted city in North America; they have quietly changed it to 'the Haunted Domain of the Americas' at the behest of Queen Anne of London.
*Some sort of 'Cat God' resides in the territory, and kills anything (supernatural or otherwise) that tarries too close to it's lair.

'''Real Name:''' Joseph

'''Apparent Age:''' 33.25 yrs

'''Concept:''' Demonstrates Absurdity by Being Absurd

'''Physical description:''' Anyone can tell by looking at him, that Joe is obviously 33 and 3 months old. He is of average height, 5 ft 8 in and even though he is not very old, his hair is already beginning to visibly grey. Having spent many years pouring over show research and sitting behind a microphone gulping down frozen slushies from the Seven Eleven, his stomach protrudes over the front of his pants, otherwise known as a "front-butt". Joe has never been known for being physically gifted, in fact you could say that he was rather flaccid.

'''Detailed Status: <br>'''
*Acknowledged by Sovereign Prince [[Kelly]] of Lehigh Valley, PA (2014)
*Euphonious by then Prince [[Vincenzo Rosati]]
<br>
<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Joseph served a 13 yr sentence as a radio talk show host in Syracuse, NY hosting the not so popular "Mournin' Joe" where he delivered all the news fit for the clinically depressed about the stock market. He was fired when it was discovered that his paperwork was not properly filled out and filed.
<br>
<br>
After Joe's Sire was absent from Court for a few weeks, rumors began, claiming that he died Joseph, still being under [[Samuel]]'s Accounting and only having official Hospitality in one city, fled to Lakeland, FL. There, Joe was granted his Acknowledgement by Kenneth Mardym, who mysteriously died in the following weeks after Joey's Sire [[Samuel]] returned. [[Samuel]] immediately began claiming Joseph didn't deserve his Acknowledgment, which he attempted to demonstrate at every opportunity.
<br>
<br>
After months of enduring beratement and ridicule, Joe was able to overcome the ire of his progenitor, prompting [[Samuel]] to arrange for a more respectable (despite being slightly questionable) Acknowledgment by Sovereign Prince [[Kelly]].
<br>
<br>
On December 12, 2014 after the successful Praxis claim of St. Augustine by [[Christine Strauss]], Joe began following in his Sire's footsteps serving as the Keeper of Elysium in St. Augustine.

Further, he had taken on the accounting of a neonate Brujah, who has no other Kindred in the city to turn to, as the Brujah as a whole, were absent from the Domain for a little over two years.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==
Nothing that a name would be put to.

==Allies==
He's still working to ingratiate himself with the local Primogen, of which he's had mixed success.

==Enemies==

==Sire==
The Virgin of Catalan

==Childer==

==Broodmates==

==Character Inspirations==
Various tales of native 'conversions' to Catholicism which led to the saying, 'no greater fanatic than a covert'.

To make an Alonso, mix together:
A little bit of [http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Oberyn_Martell Oberyn Martell] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_(comics) Richard Swift], and if some fellow players are to be believed, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squanto Squanto].

==Quotes==
"I'm twice over a bastard, Primogen, what did you expect from me?"

==Rumors==
*His sire hasn't 'really' let him out of accounting, status bedamned.
*He despises his fellow "natives", considering them savages.
*Had a torrid romance with the childer of the Toreador Primogen before her death--and she haunts him to this day.
*He owns a blackamoor goldfish, that he must keep alive, without ghouling it, from his sire.
*Alonso has entered into a coterie with others whose intent is to control the local underworld and police.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

'''Spring 2016''': The detente with SE Jax seems to have settled, right in time for the Masked attacker of Malkavians to return.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Independent Samedi have their own territory and Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods, which is the Lincolnville neighborhood. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Elysia==
*[http://lightnermuseum.org/ Lightner Museum]
*[http://staugustinedistillery.com/ St. Augustine Distillery] (Samedi owned)
*Old Governor's Mansion (only on Halloween)
*Anastasia Island Art Institute
*USS Dauntless (Steamboat)
*Flagler Cultural Center & Library

==City Rumors==
*On the night of Halloween, the Necropolis of St. Augustine merges physically with the real St. Augustine.
*There is a 'well' of 'black water' that is in truth, an open portal to the Abyss located somewhere in the city.
*St. Augustine was founded as the 'Haunted Domain', as it is the most haunted city in North America; they have quietly changed it to 'the Haunted Domain of the Americas' at the behest of Queen Anne of London.
*Some sort of 'Cat God' resides in the territory, and kills anything (supernatural or otherwise) that tarries too close to it's lair.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city, and to date, no new Brujah have stayed in the city longer than a fortnight.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Samedi Territory is their Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city, and to date, no new Brujah have stayed in the city longer than a fortnight.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has been named Seneschal. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. Further, he had taken on the accounting of a neonate Brujah, who has no other Kindred in the city to turn to, as the Brujah as a whole, were absent from the Domain for a little over two years.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==
Nothing that a name would be put to.

==Allies==
He's still working to ingratiate himself with the local Primogen, of which he's had mixed success.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. [[Ethan O'Reilly]], childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere [[Colton Tether]] takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of [[Leonard Flynn]], who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

'''2011''': [[Nathlar Shadowbourne]] is discovered to have been missing for 3-4 months, and an impostor infernalist on the throne. After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of [[Keiran Rylie]], the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''January 2014''': [[Andrew Chase]]'s praxis comes to an end, and with the turning of the New Year, [[Vincenzo Rosati]] takes Praxis. All Brujah leave the city.

'''Fall 2014''': The city is beset by a rash of attacks on influences. Signs point to savvy Sabbat, or the neighboring Domain of Jacksonville.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Samedi Territory is their Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Elysia==
*[http://lightnermuseum.org/ Lightner Museum]
*[http://staugustinedistillery.com/ St. Augustine Distillery] (Samedi owned)
*Old Governor's Mansion (only on Halloween)
*Anastasia Island Art Institute
*USS Dauntless (Steamboat)
*Flagler Cultural Center & Library

==City Rumors==

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on sight).
*Samedi Territory is their Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods. They understand prestation, and pay in coin of the realm (Boons). Caveat Emptor. Their Elysium is the St. Augustine Distillery (formerly the St. Augustine Ice House).

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. Ethan O'Reilly, childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere Colton Tether takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of Leonard Flynn, who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

After having the Domain doing his bidding unwittingly, and causing the death of Keiran Rylie, the Domain rebels, and the charade is exposed. Andrew Chase seizes praxis, and restores order.

'''December 12, 2014''': [[Christine Strauss]] claims Praxis. Vincenzo Rosati steps down.

'''Spring 2015''': New coteries begin to shift the power balance, as internal politics begin churning.

'''Summer 2015''': Some mysterious killer of Malkavians begins stalking the city, and kills a visiting Malkavian Primogen. The mystery leads to several dead ends, and spooks enough kindred to go to ground, or to leave.

'''Winter 2015''': The Domain is threatened with annexation by the neighboring Domain of SE Jacksonville (Southside, Arlington, the Beaches). A sudden influx of new kindred to the Domain shores up numbers of those that left.

'''January 22, 2016''': Prince Christine restructures her court, preparing for an inevitable showdown with 'the neighbors'.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Prince's Edicts==
*Followers of Set must be vetted (formerly, Followers of Set were killed on site).
*Samedi Territory is their Domain, and permission must be sought by them to enter. Samedi territory is the old docks and surrounding neighborhoods.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''February 2004:''' The Sabbat Camarilla battle comes into full swing.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. Ethan O'Reilly, childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere Colton Tether takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of Leonard Flynn, who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

'''2010:''' Leonard Flynn steps down from his Praxis, which leads to Nathlar Shadowbourne taking the throne.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.

==Brief World of Darkness History==

St. Augustine served as the seat of government to four colonial powers prior to the state's inclusion to the United States. The old Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos, never fell to invaders and served as military installation, federal prison, and even for a time, the governors home. In the World of Darkness, the Domain's size is much larger than in the 'real' world, yet while under the auspices of the Sabbat occupation, it stagnated and seemed mostly a forgotten city save for those that lived there. It's populace grew mostly by the occupants already within, not from immigration. It was as if a shadowed pall fell over the city during its time underneath its Lasombra lord...

Despite this, the city has played host to a great deal of drama, as European, American and native powers focused their struggles for the whole of the peninsula of Florida here. Andrew Jackson as military governor of the state waged war on the Seminole Indians from here, and it's the location of the death of the last great Seminole leader, Osceola. French colonists were destroyed at the secondary fort named for the battle, Fort Matanzas (Fort Slaughter). The city population suffered under Union occupation during the American Civil War. Each power took its toll on the populace, as did disease and famine. While not as large or as strategic as other cities on the continent founded by Europeans, it is the oldest, and it's memory is long. Nightly the city grieves for its centuries of loss, and the memories of those that passed on, still stir in the streets and manses in the night.

The impetus for the growth of the state of Florida began here. Henry Flagler brought friends such as the Rockefellers and Thomas Edison to the city, and began the trend for use of Florida's mild winters as a vacation home to rich Northerners. The citrus industry, which was the backbone of the agrarian economy of the state, first took root within the county. During prohibition, rumrunners knew St. Augustine as a free port to spread their wares up and down the entirety of the Eastern Seaboard. The city served as mother and midwife to the maturation of the rest of the state, which now is poised as the fourth most populated of the nation.

==Timeline:==

'''Prior to 1513:''' Members of the Timucuans tribe occupy North Florida. A decadent offshoot from the tribe, the Olutees, inhabit the area now known as St. Augustine and explore the vast underground limestone cave system. The Olutees locate a cave that holds mysterious "Black Water." This cave is a source of nightmares and is considered holy by the twisted medicine men of the tribe. Human sacrifice is common and other member tribes of the Timucuans shun the Olutees.

'''1513:''' Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don Juan Ponce de Leon sights a mysterious coast, lands, names his new discovery "La Florida" and claims it for Spain.

'''1513-1563:''' The Spanish launch six expeditions to the area to settle Florida, but all fail for mysterious reasons.

'''1562:''' French Huguenots flee persecution in Catholic France and establish Fort Caroline and a colony on the St. Johns River. French Toreador Etienne, a Huguenot, arrives with French colonists.

'''1563:''' King Phillip II, realized the threat to Spanish treasure routes posed by the French Colony, named Don Pedro Menedez de Aviles governor of Florida; with instructions to explore and colonize the territory as well as drive out any 'pirates or settlers of other nations, should the be found there.' Nicolas de la Mar, Childe of the Lasombra Arturo de la Mar accompanied the Menendez expedition to learn more about the New World and its treasures.

'''August 28, 1565''' "Feast Day of St. Augustine": Menendez arrived off the coast of Florida. Eleven days later, he and his 600 soldiers and settlers came ashore at the site of the Olutee Indian village known as Seloy. He hastily fortified the village and named it St. Augustine.

'''September 1565:''' The French Huguenot with the subtle support of Etienne move against the Spaniards at St. Augustine. A freakish storm wreaks the French fleet off the St. Augustine coast and the French are brutally butchered at what is now known as "Matanzas Inlet" (Slaughter Inlet). The Spaniards capitalize on the French defeat and march on Fort Caroline (modern Jacksonville) and massacre the French Colony. Etienne goes into hiding and a French emissary returned to France seeking help.

'''April 1567:''' The French return to Florida, recapture Fort Caroline and exact revenge by slaughtering the Spanish. The French abandon the colony and return to France, accompanied by Etienne.

'''1567-1586:''' The Spanish work on consolidating St. Augustine. Nicolas de la Mar begins study of the remaining indigenous natives and learns of the expansive network of limestone caverns including mention of the "Black Water."

'''1586:''' Surprise raid by Englishman Sir Francis Drake caught the Spaniards and de la Mar off guard and St. Augustine is burned to the ground. Nicolas sent reports back to his sire regarding the "Black Water" and it's connection with their Families own particular connection to the World of Shadow. He also reported on the blasphemous rights conducted by the Olutees.

'''1668:''' Nicolas de la Mar stopped sending reports to his Sire. Arturo de la Mar dispatched another Childe, Andres Segovia, to continue the work of Nicolas. St. Augustine has begun to grow into a successful colony, owing its success to "God and Church."

'''1672-1695:''' Castillo de San Marcos was built.

'''1702-1740:''' St. Augustine weathered several attacks by the English. Etienne was gathering support for a Camarilla push on St. Augustine and forms a coterie for this purpose.

'''1763:''' Spain ceded Florida to England as a trade for Cuba. The British control St. Augustine. Etienne's coterie sweeps into the city, destroys Andres Segovia and his allies, and proclaims St. Augustine a Camarilla Domain. Prince Jonathan Hartsford of Clan Ventrue, reigns as Prince.

'''1783:''' The Treaty of Paris returned Florida to Spanish control. The same year, Arturo de la Mar arrived to take vengeance for the destruction of his Childer and gain closer study of the "Black Water." The Camarilla Keeper, the Tremere Von Kesselring discovered that the Sheriff "Grendel" had been learning blood magic. Grendel cut a deal for sanctuary with Arturo and betrayed the Camarilla to the Lasombra. Grendel's first act was the murder of Von Kesselring. The other members of the Camarilla are hunted down and destroyed, except Etienne and a Malkavian Calvinist named Proctor Cromwell, who went into hiding.

'''1821:''' Florida is sold to the United States. Yellow fever epidemic hits the citizens of St. Augustine. During this time, Arturo begins shoring up his new home. Arturo dominates the next 182 years of St. Augustine's nighttime history. Effectively, the city is forgotten in shadow and mystery to the world at large.

'''1836:''' Seminole Indian War. Chief Osceola is interred at the Castillo de San Marcos. The war hurt the development of St. Augustine.

'''1845:''' Florida became the 27th state admitted to the Union. The colonial capital is moved from St. Augustine to the new state capital in Tallahassee.

'''1861-1865:''' Union forces occupy the city and fort, denying the Confederate Navy the largest southern port on the eastern coast south of Savannah, Ga.

'''1880:''' Henry Flagler arrived to the old sleepy and creepy Spanish town and decided it would make a great resort town for the rich. Etienne manipulated the locals and aided in the construction of the St. Augustine Cathedral, which he occupied with Proctor Cromwell.

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''Physical description:''' A tall, clearly 'native' American, but with heavily scarred forehead and cheeks.

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
'''Basic Timeline:''' Alonso is not a recent embrace, but is a recent release from his accounting. He is of 'native American' descent, but demures when asked about his mortal history. He also knows a great deal of history of the Southeastern United States, from pre-Colombian contact in general, and of St. Augustine in particular.

'''Current Activities:'''Currently, Alsonso has been named Seneschal. From May 9, 2014, until January 22, 2016, Alonso was the Harpy of the Domain of St. Augustine.

It would appear that Alonso has a soft spot for the Toreador of St. Augustine, working closely with their Primogen, and young artistes and poseurs that have entered the Domain. Further, he had taken on the accounting of a neonate Brujah, who has no other Kindred in the city to turn to, as the Brujah as a whole, were absent from the Domain for a little over two years.

'''Obvious Merit & Flaw Details:''' The scarring on Alonso's cheeks and forehead give him an unnerving mien. Occasionally, it appears that Alonso's shadow does not move in sync with his movements, something that a few in court have noted. Further, many Toreador (and only Toreador) note that they can occasionally see an ephemeral wraith hovering just off of one or the other of Alonso's shoulders when their senses are heightened.

==Coterie==

'''1880-1972:''' Etienne and Proctor Cromwell are forgotten by most Kindred (except Arturo and Grendel) and the St. Augustine Cathedral was viewed as a 'haunted place' by younger Sabbat and only go there at their own risk. Etienne, Cromwell, and the power of Etienne's cross protected it.

'''1973:''' The Samedi choose St. Augustine as a free port for entrance and exit to Haiti. They moved in quietly, and exterminated the few Giovanni that resided in the area. First wave of immigrants from the Caribbean begin arriving. Native wraiths assist in destruction of Giovanni, as well as keeping the deaths unknown to the Dons of the Italian Necromancers. Arturo didn't regard their incursion with too much worry and had an unofficial "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone" policy. Younger members of the Sabbat enjoy 'proving' themselves by spending nights raiding Samedi graveyards.

'''2003:''' Arturo decided to move to Jacksonville and expand his influence in the much larger metropolis. Etienne learned of Arturo's departure and had Proctor Cromwell contact Camarilla members from the nearby Domain of Gainesville and persuaded them to launch an assault on St. Augustine. This coincided with the Settite Praxis attempts in Gainesville.

'''October 2003:''' Members of the Camarilla arrived in St. Augustine and began their 'siege.'

'''November 2003:''' [[Carter Johnson]] claims Praxis, names a cabinet, and establishes the first Elysium grounds within the 'Oldest House' museum. The arriving Kindred found themselves in an Elder war between Etienne and Grendel. Most of the Camarilla Kindred believe Etienne is a ghost.

'''December 2003:''' A Nosferatu is tricked into stealing Etienne's cross and the loss of the item allows Grendel to enter the Cathedral and kill Proctor Cromwell.

'''January: 2004:''' The Camarilla scrambles to find the Cross and continue its war on the Sabbat. They liquidate several packs of Sabbat. Contact made between the Camarilla and native Samedi population, and borders of control are drawn as part of non-aggression/support treaty.

'''March 2004:''' Members of the Camarilla locate the Cross and confront Grendel and believe they destroy him.

'''April 2004:''' The Camarilla and their allies Clan Samedi makes their big push against Arturo's lieutenant at Fort Matanzas and effectively destroy the last remnant of organized Sabbat power.

'''May 2004:''' Arturo begins subtle moves against the Camarilla and sends in probes from Jacksonville. Grendel starts to become active again. The infernalist Tzimisce Piotr begins to stir, with the capstone of Arturo and Etienne effectively stymied.

'''September 2004:''' Believing that once more the city has a strong Camarilla presences, the wraith of Prince Hartsford's Seneshcal leads Nosferatu Primogen Zeist to unearth a hidden treasure. [[Lady Elizabeth of York]], the former Ventrue Primogen of the old court was found buried in the Samedi graveyard.

'''October 2004:''' Grendel is killed, his spirit captured by Piotr, and subsequently reclaimed by Clan Tremere. The Bloodhunt of Grendel comes to an end, 222 years after being called by Prince Hartsford.

'''May 2005:''' Assisted by members of two other Domains, and led by Prince Carter, Piotr is destroyed by Lord Arcanum Ethan Shadowbourne. Relative peace reigns, but Anarch migration from the South points to a push of Sabbat from Miami.

'''Late 2005:''' Prince Carter leads the 'southern assault' on the Sabbat of Georgia, and St. Augustine is instrumental in the securing of Savannah, GA, and the recapture of Atlanta from the Sabbat.

'''2006:''' Prince Carter is 'assassinated' by Setites and their apostate followers in Orlando, FL at a Princes summit, escaping only by the narrowest of margins, and forced underground. Lady Elizabeth of York seizes Praxis. Six months later, she is called away by Clan Ventrue to Washington DC. Ethan O'Reilly, childe of Carter Johnson takes Praxis.

'''2007:''' Ethan O'Reilly abdicates the throne; he is last seen being escorted off the Elysium grounds by his sire after a disastrous reign. This year becomes a tumultuous one, with several changes in Praxis, as chaos begins to grip the throne of St. Augustine, including three Princes in a single evening. The Tremere Colton Tether takes Praxis, giving a measure of consistency back to the realm.

'''2008:''' In early 2008, Colton Tether is killed by Sabbat. The Praxis of St. Augustine stabilizes as another Ventrue takes the throne, with the ascension of Leonard Flynn, who guides the city to a victory against the Rebellion.

==The Domain itself.==

The city proper is the official Domain of St. Augustine. The outlying areas of St. Johns County have been subdivided into zones of control for the clans within the Domain. This is to at once increase the feeding areas of the Domain, as well as a way to keep an eye to the borders of the city. There are several towns and municipalities that form the 'border' of the county, wedged between the sea and the St. John's River.
