It is the 13th century, and the world is in darkness. The once mighty Roman Empire has long since fallen, bringing about the dark age of Europe. Feudal lords, vassals, and knights vie for supremacy over what is left of the foundations of civilization. Great wars, called in the name of lord, land, and God are waged across the continent and beyond. Not more than a century ago Constantinople, one of the few bastions of civilization and enlightenment left was razed to the ground, it's repository of culture and knowledge burned and scattered. All the while the common people are trampled upon by their betters, living life day to do in poverty and service, performing backbreaking labor and each day praying for salvation and solace which never comes save in death.

However, as dark as the reality humanity sees each day is, it is nothing compared to the darkness which haunts each night. Monsters, powerful and terrifying, roam the cities and countryside, preying upon those unfortunate souls who cross their path. Manipulative, seductive, cunning, these creatures rule the night and the mortal world upon which they feed. Yet even amongst themselves they struggle: the young against the old, the weak against the strong, the na�ve against the malicious. Each one seeks it in their own way, yet only a few can possess it, claim it, and keep it as their own for eternity, if they can hold onto it for that long. Enlightenment, salvation, the very essence of survival can be theirs if they can achieve it: the Mandate of Power.

Mandate of Power is a Live Action Roleplaying Game (LARP) which takes place in the city of Vienna circa 1231 C.E. It uses the Vampire: the Masquerade continuity and setting with a few tweaks, mostly centered on the history and founding of Vienna. Although the story is set within the universe of Vampire: the Masquerade, we use an adaptation of the new World of Darkness Storyteller system which includes Vampire: the Requiem. Although the mechanics used are from the new system or house rules based on the new system, all story material and setting comes from the world where Caine's progeny rules the night, where the Camarilla has yet to be founded and the War of Princes has just begun.

Mandate of Power is played on every odd Saturday of each month (as in the first, third, and fifth Saturday, if applicable). The game is held in the Student Center at Kennesaw State University, located in Kennesaw, Georgia. Game time runs from 6:00 pm until midnight. If you are new to the game it is suggested that you come early so that one of the STs or narrators can answer your questions and, if you're interested in playing, help you create a new character. We are always happy to welcome new players, even if they are new to the whole LARP experience. There is a charge of $1.00 to play, we do accept IOU's.
