Heardlines
● Has anyone actually seen the Ventrue Primogen? Is he even still alive?

● That fire was no accident, that house was Kat MacKenzie’s haven.

● I hear someone threatened Katherine MacKenzie and held her at gunpoint in Dundee.

● They’ve declared Highgate Cemetary in London a permanent Elysium.

● Khadir’s been seen in Glasgow, and he rules it with an iron fist, they say.

● I hear that Major Daly’s been harbouring Setites in his country estate. So has Lloyd, and a bunch of other people.

● Why hasn’t the Prince appointed a Nosferatu Primogen? Who’s the Sheriff these days?!

● Someone’s digging through that place in Portobello the Prince demolished a while back.

Yeah, the place with the creepy wind around it.

● Kat MacKenzie is gonna declare for the sabbat any day now, I know it.

● MacKenzie blew up the tay bridge.

● Where did all these Setites come from?

● MacKenzie has her main haven on a warship in Dundee harbour. If that doesn’t bode poorly for our future, nothing does.

● Major Daly’s pissed, half his Newspapers aren’t even for sale in the city these days. I’d love to know who took him down a notch.

● Lotta people coming and going through the sewers of late.

● There’s a new place to bet on fights in Portobello. Some are saying it puts Smith’s in Calton Hills to shame. I wonder if MacTire is trying to muscle in?

● Someone saw an honest-to-goodness cowgirl riding through the forests last week.

● Who blew up the Tay Bridge? That was no planned demolition.

● There’s a Londoner up here selling magic trinkets, I don’t believe him though.

● The Giovani have too much power here. One of them’s in a coterie with the Prince, and he’s not even a Camarilla member!

● Someone’s living in a cave in Holyrood estate. Must be some Gangrel.

● Whatever happened to the Edinburgh Ripper?

● There’s a circus coming to town soon- That’s gotta be some Ventrue’s feeding restriction, right? Still, probably some good and weird hunting there.
