In fancy now, beneath the twilight gloom,
Come, let me lead thee o'er this "second Rome!"
Where tribunes rule, where dusky Davi bow,
And what was Goose-Creek once is Tiber now:
This embryo capital, where Fancy sees
Squares in morasses, obelisks in trees;
Which second-sighted seers, even now, adorn
With shrines unbuilt and heroes yet unborn.
Folklore has it that the Pierre L'Enfante, a Freemason, designed the city of Washington, D.C. around a series of Satanic symbols to assure the dominance of the New World Order. It's the granddaddy of conspiracy theories, and like most, contains a kernel of truth.
In reality, the Freemasons were puppets of the White Council, that august body of wizards tasked with keeping humanity safe from the things that lurk in the shadows. They recognized the role the nascent capital would play in the decades to come, and wove arcane protections into everything from the city streets to the oaths of office.
Today, the White Council's protections keep the vampire courts and the Nevernever factions from exercising direct control, but immortality has taught them patience, and they've had more than enough time to infiltrate the corridors of power. A supernatural Cold War exists between the Vampire Courts and the Nevernever, with the unsuspecting humans mere proxies in the struggle.
A cryptic note has called you back to the city, to the grounds of your alma mater, Georgetown University.
