Clan Location: Tallikut


 

Tallikut one of the few Clans that actually shares borders with three other Clans.

The main purpose of Tallikut was to be the buffer between La Croix and Nicolaus, the two had too much of a history to let their Clans share a border, let alone work together for patrols.   Benoit, had no problems building a small outpost, making sure to keep La Croix from annoying Nico.   He hadn’t expected for it to grow as large as it had.  While La Croix was perfectly fine staying in Toronto, and not moving West, as the Canada and the US began to expand towards the ocean, Benoit discovered he needed to do the same. 

The Clan settled in Billings Montana only recently, as in the past fifty years.   Before that their main location was Chicago, and had presence in New York.  Over time, they expanded further into the Canadian wilderness, including having a small outpost in a location that takes at least two planes, a jeep, and dog sled team to get to.   Tallikut doesn’t venture into La Croix’s territory often, and on a rare occasion their Hunters work with Serenity, that shares their western most border. 

It wasn’t until lately that they ended up taking ‘control’ of New York, as their Hunters and Members had more of a presence, than Sylum.  Nico was fine with it, as he never liked the city.

Clan Location: Camelot

Camelot Clan

 

I know a few people were likely wondering how Camelot Clan’s location ended up in the SouthWest of England.

Tintagel is the birthplace of Arthur Pendragon, so it was only fitting their first home was at the famous location.  Unfortunately, the area is eroding into the sea, so they had to find a new location, which how they ended up at St. Michael’s Mount.

In non Sylum world this is actually a private residence, mixed in as a Heritage Site.  So yes you can tour it, but only the gardens and older sections.  So everything we’ve described about the place is real.

Though St. Michael’s Mount is the main home, they do have other clan locations in Scotland & Ireland, especially as a few members stay in those areas full time.   They also have a variety of business and residences in London.

Clan Location: Sylum


It was suggested that I could work up a series of why each location was chosen for the different clans.  

So of course we’re going to start off with the first one.

Sylum.

When this story first started over 15 years ago (where has the time gone) there was only one place a Clan of Vampires would be located in the US.

New Orleans.

Where else would they be?  

I also have a lot of personal history with the city, and no my way around it and the surrounding area, which helped when building the Manor and the city Sylum would call home.   As story developed other cities became important parts of Sylum – Vegas (for obvious reasons :D), Washington DC, Los Angeles, and at times New York (despite how much Nico despises the city).  

But New Orleans is home, and will always be the home for Sylum.

Oak Alley Plantation is only partial inspiration for the Manor itself, the other is Monmouth Plantation in Natchez.

So there you have it.  The reason why – Sylum is in New Orleans.

Any questions?  Or curious about technical Sylum history within the city?
