History of HRM by Night

The dark history of HRM by Night is one filled with missed opportunities by some and survival instincts by others. Keeping inline with the general history provided by Vampire: the Masquerade, World of Darkness Fiction and the “by Night” series, these four cities have a rich history of their own in a struggle to survive up to the modern nights. This history will be a work in progress.

1398	Henry Sinclair landed in Nova Scotia (where HRM is located) from Scotland, many Mi'kmaq legends tells of his travels throughout the province. He built several forts.	There are rumors that Henry Sinclair was accompanied by two ghouls who carried a wooden box. No one is sure which clan they were ghouled to or what is in the box, the legends say it was they who put something in the earth on Oak Island in a tunnel going straight down into the earth.

1854	October, in the early morning, a fisherman noticed a man near a big rock in Sandy Cove, a beach in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. The man's legs were both amputated just above his knees. They were not completely healed yet, but on careful observation it was noticed that a skill surgeon must have done the operation. Besides his clothes, all the man had with him was a jug of water and a tin of biscuits. By his dark complexion people assumed he was either French or Italian, and the only word anyone understood from his mouth was Jerome. Over the years, many sailors from different countries tried to talk with him to no avail. However when anyone mentioned Trieste he would become very angry.

Gardiner Greene Hubbard, Mabel's father, requested them to stop over in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where he owned shares in Caledonia Coal Mines. Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel visited Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Falling in love with the area, they moved there.

1970's	A video camera was lowered into the Pit on Oak Island by Triton and the Canadian Broadcasting Company. In the footage taken a severed human hand and a part of a wooden truck were visible.	An emergency meeting was called by Halifax Kindred Council and the Camarilla. Both councils voted to use their contacts in the scientific world to discredit the images viewed.
1990's	Digitally remastering the 1970's Pit video, the severed human hand and the part of a wooden truck were made more visible.	A meeting was called by Halifax Kindred Council and the Camarilla. Both councils voted to use their contacts in the scientific world to discredit the images viewed. The scientist pointed out the lack of points of reference in the video. There was nothing to compare the size of the objects captured on video.

The history of these cities started with the colonization of North America by humans and kindred alike, the move into its future depends on the individual kindred and clans within. As the philosopher George Santayana stated, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
