Camarilla Setting

Brief History
Before 2016, Miami was not the bastion of Camarilla power but instead a Sabbat stronghold. A long siege and the defection of Archbishop Alicia Cortez to the Camarilla flipped the city. Cortez was crowned Prince of the new Court of Miami, as had been agreed upon, but was shortly ousted by a vote of the Primogen Council in a political move to cripple the power of the savvy Lasombra. An Elder with an eye towards the long game, Cortez left rather than fight from within the hostile city. She built a powerbase of Lasombra allies, made friends and allies within the Court of Orlando, and then seized upon the desperate need of the floundering Camarilla city of Sarasota.

Sarasota was facing a Sabbat onslaught from the ocean and an even more sinister threat of the Hunter response to the Sabbat flotilla. As the city fell, Cortez swept in with promises of succor, safety, and new opportunities within Miami. The current Tremere Prince of Miami suffered a surprising but opportune assassination, along with the Tremere Primogen and several others that had had a hand in ousting Cortez after the Camarilla took Miami. Stepping into the power vacuum, Prince Cortez was crowned again, this time with a more sympathetic (or apathetic, as some have claimed) Primogen Council.
