Synopsis

The series is currently on hiatus and doesn’t have a website, but will be back with its own page on Obsidian Portal!

In the first season, the group encountered a figure straight out of myth and literature as they battled an ancient vampire named Esmeralda who was a former Slayer, with the help of her former Watcher, who turned out to be none other than Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. In the end, Esmeralda was ensouled by the Cast and let go to take her own fight to the forces of darkness. It remains to be seen what awaits the Cast as they return home next season…

Rebirth Connections

The connections to Nocturnum in this campaign are as follows:

  1. The town (and the year 1880) first appeared in the original Nocturnum Campaign final season, when the Cast visited the region in search of one of the legendary Keys of Destiny to set right a timeline that had been usurped by an ancient Hyborian sorcerer named Nectanebus.
  2. Helushka is the ancestor of current character Danny Santana

More direct connections will be drawn in future seasons.
