[QUOTE="Hella_Tellah, post: 4539312, member: 52669"] The following represents just a little more information on the history of Cambridge Awakened society than the average mage would posess. You may determine for yourself how much of this your character knows. [FONT=Palatino Linotype]--------------------------[/FONT] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Cambridge, Massachussetts has a rich history of Awakened residents and Awakened conflict.
