Exordium

the long version

"Nestled against the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado, counts among its population members of a dangerous and arcane subculture. From the foothills, littered with abandoned gold mines and crisp with seasonal snow, to the dark, labyrinthine alleyways of the city proper, vampires walk among us. These esoteric beings have established a hierarchy of power, and have chosen this city as the central location for their dark dealings"--Publisher description.
