The Church
The domain of the Priesthood of Streitstadt, located on the edge of the town of Streitstadt and the forests of Knochenwalde. It is the First and last defense against the vampires of Villa Baccanale and the supernatural forces ripe in the surrounding forests.
The clergy live in a collection of cottages not far from the church, near the outskirts of Knochenwalde. The church itself contains many items and rooms dedicated to the ongoing war against the vampires.
An ancient Ritual of Shielding was in the past used to keep the town completely safe, but after the recent slaughter of the clergy, the means to perform it have been… lacking, leaving the town undefended and in doubt of the Clergy's capabilities.



The Priesthood
The Priesthood of St John the Suffering is part of a larger order of clergy who work to quietly save humanity from the supernatural evils of the world.
The clergy provide the town of Streitstadt with the strongest (and only) defense against the nearby ancient Vampire Lair. The Church has provided lodgings for hunters and priests for decades, and within the surprisingly spacious cellars under the old Church are a hidden workshops and an armament of magical artifacts.

History
Shortly before the start of the RP, the clergy suffered a devastating vampire attack which destroyed the local nunnery, most of the priesthood and its defenses, leaving the church in desperate need of new allies.

  • 1870-1890: A healthy congregation guards the quiet Catholic town of Streitstadt. They have plenty of supernatural trouble, but sustain a powerful clergy with devoted priests and a servile Nunnery.
  • 1892: Reports of a growing vampire population in Knochenwalde are investigated, but deemed unfounded.
  • 1918: The town suffers a devastating attack from a vampire clan residing in the catacombs of Villa Baccanale; the entire Nunnery is slain, and the clergy left understaffed, but the threat is ultimately thwarted, leaving Streitstadt without its Nunnery and the town without its defenses. The mayor flees to the surrounding forest, leaving the rebuilding of Streitstadt's walls and defenses halting.
  • 1919-1920: A lot of odd foreigners are flocking to the underpopulated town ...

  • Cottages - Not far from the church, homes for the priests. Currently, there are many more cottages than priests.
  • Nunnery - Abandoned since the vampire massacre.
  • Graveyard - a mostly lonesome place, come midnight full moons when it is a popular spot for necromancy, werewolves and ghosts. Beware of occasional zombie uprising
