Game background

There was something odd about Regina for many years. There were (or, at
least, there *appeared* to be) no Fallen at all in the City. Then
stories began to emerge of a surprisingly large number of Fallen who
were living in the city, all of them, apparently, Deistical. But
rumours and 'reports' being what they are, there's no saying what truth
there is to that story. What *is* fairly well known, though, is that
about five years ago, give or take, the Horde took notice of the
Civitas.

They took note in spades.

It became an ongoing
struggle just to survive in the city, never knowing from where the next
strike would come, or when. Many of the city's Fallen, relatively
recently Awakened, had neither the skill nor the ability to defeat the
agents of Heaven on their own; it became a race to see who would find
the newly Reckoned first. The Angels often won.

Finally, the
Fallen were able to organise themselves into a basic court system (with
the assistance of a couple of Fallen from outside the city) and the
Angels were defeated. At least for the time being. The workings of the
Court are still somewhat tenuous among Regina's Fallen, though. Many of
those who survived the last few years simply left. Others remain,
through a sense of duty, an unwillingness to let go of those things
most important to them, or sheer stubbornness.
