OFTHEHILLPEOPLE you made me curious so I looked around... I didn’t find an answer. But did find this… According to the Book of Nod: • The Time of Thin Blood. Caitiff and Thin-Blooded Vampires become more common, leading to Caitiff Princes. This particular warning is used by Princes to rationalize offices such as the Scourge, eliminating out high-generation vampires. • Increased violence by Garou and other traditional enemies. • The rise of ancient vampires, notably the Crone, until the Antediluvians themselves rise and "break their fast on the first part of us" • The darkening of the Sun • The return of Caine to pass judgment on all Vampires from Enoch, followed by a duel between the Dark Father (presumably Caine) and the Dark Mother (presumably Lilith). • A thousand year reign from the city of Gehenna, with "no love, no life, no pity/the mighty will be as slaves/the virtuous will be made foul" through the Dark Father's agency. • The arrival of the Last Daughter of Eve who will decide the fate of all creatures. Source: whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Gehenna_(event)Interestingly (perhaps only to me) while I never played VTM much I bought this book because it had cool art and was well written. They also mention The Transylvania Chronicles in the link I posted, but honestly everything there read like gibberish to me… probably because I’m not as steeped in the lore as most.

I think it was called Eye of the Wyrm in the Werewolf book.

Now I just see a werewolf running up steps to the Rocky theme... which is kinda cool... I'd watch that movie...

Awesome, thanks.
One thing I do appreciate about White Wolf is how they treated the end times. They left it open so you could run whichever IP's end times prophecy in any setting. I personally like the Werewolf end of the world with the Wyrm getting freed from the Weaver and potentially killing Gaia, but that's pretty much a "no win" scenario and wouldn't be all that fun to play in my opinion.
I thought that the Red Star might have had something to do with the Mote but now that I think on it I don't think that's true.

I just finished up this episode, hopefully will be caught up soon.
Lesson of the day appears to be "Stork is awesome as long as he never has to roll dice." Great plan, solid tactics, and then the dice taketh away.

In Mage we called the Red Star Anthelos, and it represented the coming of the Tenth Sphere, Judgement.
Woot. Samantha gave props to the Pennsylvania Renn Faire - I assume the one in Mount Hope. I used to practically live there every summer.

Oh! And in Demon, it heralded Lucifer's appearance on Earth... in L.A., if I recall.
