Uh, Mexico City is THE Sabbat hangout in the wWoD. The only place of more political importance was in Spain, and that tanked with the death of Cardinal Moncada at the hands of his childe, Lucita.

That sounds like a pretty good story there. Care to elaborate?

Not much to elaborate on. Lucita hated him, and he was a very powerful political animal. While a Sabbat Bishop is the equivalent to a Camarilla Prince, a Cardinal is sort of between a Prince and a Justicar. They control entire regions, though generally not entire countries or continents. I think Moncada was an exception, and his control was largely over most of Spain and Portugal. There were other Bishops below him, but he was pretty much the one in charge.

Anyway, Lucita killed him, with the aid of her on-again, off-again lover, the Assamite Fatima al-Faquadi. The Sabbat was quite pissed at her for a while, putting bounties on her head, until a few years later when they sort of accepted she'd be a better ally than enemy (considering she's an assassin on par with Fatima). They offered her the Cardinalship she had 'vacated' in Spain. There's a novel trilogy that explains that story, whereas the actual death of Moncada happens in the 13-book Clan novel series.

I think you can get the compiled volumes online for cheap if you're interested. Some are hit or miss, but largely, they're pretty good. The Malkavian book is especially good, since it shows you how a Malk actually sees the world around him.

Oh I see now. See, when you said Bishops and Cardinals, I thought that meant the Sabbat was running the Church in the Iberian Peninsula. That'd Be wild...

Basically this. All mummies are incredibly ancient and several talk about Caine like he is a buddy of theirs and how Moses (an ancient and powerful Mage who is still around) likes to chill at their pad. Mummies make Demons pause.

So what's the deal with Moses being a Mage. Is there anything to it besides that?

What's this "Avatar Storm" folks were talking about in relation to Mage on the last page? Seems important.

Gatz, you're feeling down making this LP. Go to the strippers and go treat yourself to a happy ending.

Gonna agree with this one.

Talk him down. And Gatz, if you have more fun making updates by throwing out of universe stuff like that in, then I suggest you keep it up. It looks like you had fun doing that. :)
