| The
Holy City Beckons
They say that in 1099, when the Second Crusade
took Jerusalem, the streets ran so deep with
blood that a man on horseback would have his
progress slowed by the flood. They say that
the Cainites who followed the invaders went
mad then, and that few who aided in the sack
of the city were ever seen again. They also
tell stories of ancient Cainites lurking in
the Valley of Hinnom, where the lepers dwell,
and of monstrous acts of faith and devotion,
beneath the Temple Mount. They say many things
about Jerusalem, for it is a place of wonder
and faith, of blood and fear. And now its
gates lie open. Enter, if you dare.
