Competing crises

Pollution, Endron-linked disputes, occult investment, digital surveillance and mortal investigations create several simultaneous problems.

A missing mentor, stolen fetish, hostile purchaser and exposed haven may have nothing to do with one another.

The dead remain divided among Guilds, Legions, Renegades, Heretics and independent communities.

Older undying and their custodians can already be present through relics, travel and long-standing obligations.

Ordinary hunters, religious organizations and government personnel remain distinct from the Imbued who will emerge later.
