Total Losses: 60 True Sabbat
Influence of New Jersey: The Sabbat of New Jersey, or rather the Daeva, where completely and utterly unprepared for any sort of Influence use in New Jersey. The entirety of Sabbat controlled territory of New Jersey was on Lock Down. Constant Traffic Jams, Police Raids, Faith Wielding Hunters, City Records and Departments where at the entire whim of the combine might of New York. BY and far this was clearly their most vulnerable spot that allowed for immediate exploitation in coordinating and locating the Daeva. All the while media and the mortal world noted nothing odd or out of place. It was business as usual in New Jersey.
Resources of New Jersey: By and large the Sabbat of New York where able to purchase new properties as beach heads and staging locations for their ground invasion of new jersey. This allowed a supply chain from New York to continue to feed the army moving against the Daeva.
Military Force: Numerous PMCs and Thugs of the cartels and other underworld elements seemingly worked together to provide a raw brute force during the day in sieging suspected Daeva Havens. Many of the Sabbat of New Jersey where caught completely unprepared for this as their havens burned leaving only ash and bits of smoke.
Roan: Bishop of Roan lead ground forces and packs from Brooklyn into battle at night against the Daeva. Though this was by no means easy, they were able to succeed due to the united front and coordination of the Sabbat. Though they suffered losses, the enemies where far higher. Her name starts to carry across the Sabbat of New York as a savage fighter standing with her brothers and sisters in the thick of it. Songs of glory are sung of her dedication and savagery in battle. As Bishop her reputation grows. Roan gets the Reputational Status Trait of Savage
Etienne: Spent most of the War scouting and coordinating with the Bishops, Archbishop, the Packs, and the Ultra Conservatives. Due his efforts coordinated with Mathew St Hubert they were able together valuable intelligence against the enemy and use the Sabbat’s resources to their most effective force. He zooms around the city at lightning speed coordinating with pin point accuracy. His name spreads as he gains the Reputational Status Trait of “The Eyes of New York”
Djaando: His Prophetic abilities prove to uncannily accurate. Though vague at first and often in riddles, once the Sabbat of New York realizes this they are able to discern what they mean and gain valuable accurate insight into the workings of the Daeva of New Jersey. They learn quickly that Daeva fear fire and sunlight more than a vampire, and the more powerful the Daeva the more weaknesses they have. Common themes include being forced to count rice if dropped in front of them, an inability to cross running water…vampire myths of old proved true for them. As the eerie nature of his visions spread among the sabbat he quickly gains a name for himself. He gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Prophet of Gehenna”
Sahil: The Might of the Church and mortal realm is poured into New Jersey. Their sway among the mortals proves to be an unrelenting force which the Daeva seemed caught off guard against. Though spending his time in New York, Sahil coordinates efforts within the Order and relays them to the Archbishop as needed. As word spreads of the Shail’s Influence in the war Sahil’s name rises as well. He gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Shepard”
Jake Waters: The War leader is seen performing ritae for all the sabbat. War Parties, Fire Dances, and Martial Rites are all common practice over the months. He stands side by side with all the Sabbat rather than simply staying behind at the New York Sabbat bases to coordinate efforts. Many come to remember that Jake was their shedding blood with them as an equal. His reputation among the Sabbat of New York Grows as an Archbisop. He gains the Reputational Status Trait of “King of New York”
Viking: Much as Sahil, Viking pours his influential might into the war against New Jersey. Again this proves extremely effective. He coordinates with the cities other Influence minded Sabbat and makes for a deadly strike with their sawy in the mortal world. Though many sabbat consider those who delve into the mortal world as weak, it only proves how vulnerable the sabbat as on a whole to these sorts of attacks. His name spread and he gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Teflon Don”
Stello: The man who supplied the War effort. Without him the Sabbat would have surely lost. Machine guns, Flamethrowers, grenade launchers, blood, and much much more were from his doing. An army can not survive without supple and Stello footed the bill. His name begins to spread among the Sabbat as a whole as a man who can get you anything and the number one guy to go to for it. Some refer to him as the Abott of New York. He gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Abott of New York”
Consuelo: Fighting with his borthers and sisters, Consuelo sees no shortage of battle and bloodshed. Slaying Davea after Daeva he could find like so many others. His prowess in battle spreads with each kill and his name grows as well. Consuelo gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Bloodthirsty”
Mathew St Hubert: Seen often coordinating with Etienne, the Salubri Antitrbu lends both his influential might and scouting techniques. Working together the two cainites are able relay and coordinate plans and efforts across the entire war effort at the blink of an eye. His reputation also grows gaining the Reputational Status Trait of “Eagle Eyed”
Victor: Spending all his pull and sway among the Loyalists Victor struck out on his own. His forces protecting the bridges and ways into New York to prevent any Daeva from daring to try to retreat into the city or offer a counter strike. Though his efforts are not nearly as glorious in battle he is able to secure the city from the Daeva threat. Victor gains the Reputational Status Trait of “Defender of New York”
Chief: Leading the Ultra Conservatives as the next highest rank under Cardinal Polonia, the fury flies into coordinated battle and blood agains this Daeva enemy. Though he watches many a brother fall it does nothing to his resolve; in fact enraging the Salubri Antitribu even more. The Witch Hounds become a name to be feared and as Chief name grows he gains the Reputational Status Trait of “War Chief”
Cardinal Polonia: Seen coordinating with The Archbishop and Bishop Polonia is superhuman at Tactics. The plans he comes up with and executes become things of legend. He is the modern day Ceaser. Often he rides into the battle arm and arm as an equal with his brothers and sisters. Whenever his sword left its sheath a new head fell from his blade. In the end all Sabbat of New York come to admire and respect their Cardinal as one of their own.
End Result: New Jersey lays Barren of Sabbat. Its membership wiped out. On a whole it was the Ultra-Conservatives who stepped up for this war and suffering the most losses to gain the most victories. Of the New York Dead, there seemed to be a common theme. Almost all the Ventrue Antitribu were targeted specifically and by far that bloodline suffered the most causalities. After the war Cardinal Polonia awards all the above who participated in war the Status Trait of “Gehenna Crusader” for their efforts. Now New York Licks its wounds and pounders what do with now an empty sabbat territory. The Daeva all seemingly dead or fled back to the cold of the Northeast and their home base as it were. The War won for New York but at what cost?
