Hey, I never said the Ladder wasn't (at times) authoritarian: vanguardism is often authoritarian. But that's a shared symptom, not the same disease as the Seers.

Also, re: Vampire, is there any way you could import Down and Dirty Combat to the V20 system you'll be working with?

Also, being authoritarian isn't always bad. Legally requiring people to vaccinate their children is an authoritarian collectivist infringement on their freedom- that's why it works.

So what you're telling me is the only way you know how to make things better is hold people down and rape their soul until it learns to Be Good, by the definition you've set of "Be good".

What happened to you to make you insane?

The earliest mention of the story seems to have been on a stained-glass window placed in the Church of Hamelin c. 1300. The window was described in several accounts between the 14th and 17th centuries. It was destroyed in 1660. Based on the surviving descriptions, a modern reconstruction of the window has been created by historian Hans Dobbertin. It features the colorful figure of the Pied Piper and several figures of children dressed in white.

This window is generally considered to have been created in memory of a tragic historical event for the town. Also, Hamelin town records start with this event. The earliest written record is from the town chronicles in an entry from 1384 which states: "It is 100 years since our children left."

Although research has been conducted for centuries, no explanation for the historical event is universally accepted as true. In any case, the rats were first added to the story in a version from c. 1559 and are absent from earlier accounts.
