PRE-EXISTING INFO
For many years, the city of Denver was considered a Tradition stronghold, hosting a couple of large chantries and a notable coven of Verbena named the Daughters of the Crescent Moon whose membership spanned multiple generations. But during the last push of the Ascension War the Technocracy overtook the city and destroyed the central node, killing many of the local mages in the process. The Verbena were hit especially hard during the attack, and with the coven all-but wiped out, the remaining members disappeared.
​
Then the Ascension War ended, and the Technocrats retreated to an aloof but watchful presence. Over the years, their presence appears to have grown less and less invasive, perhaps due to changing priorities and decreased resources, or perhaps because they've gotten very good at being covert. Either way, their retreat left room for a gradual rebuilding of the Traditions within Denver. Over the years, a powerful cabal formed and set themselves up in a chantry located outside the city proper (where the only other remaining node lay.) This cabal, known as the Seekers of Truth, became well-known as they took it upon themselves to guard and protect the city.
​
Later, the Seekers of Truth disappeared- it was later found that they were killed along with an amalgam of Technocrats during a young woman's violent awakening. Reportedly widderslainte, she was supposedly saved and redeemed by the locals and moved on to live a normal life, catapulted from being a newly awakened fawn to Adept in only a matter of years. Things are not, however, what they seemed...
