Camarilla

==The Camarilla of Bandaiyan==
The greatest human kingdoms were but playthings to these so-called kindred. Their power was matches only by their arrogance - until the coming of the fires of the Inquisition. Vulnerable for the first time, seven of these clans united to govern the rest. 
They called themselves the Camarilla.
The Camarilla in England had intentionally gathered up the "wolf-bloods", those suspected of being blood descendants of the lupines and extricating them to the Australian penal colony as part of a plan to rid themselves of lupines in England. Mithras, prince of England and one of the most powerful vampires in the world at the time had personally seized upon this plan. Several younger vampires with no love for Mithras or his primogen managed to escape to Australia among the penal colonists- the coterie called the Cackers: . Red Meg of Clan Brujah, Abram of Clan Ventrue, Agaricus of Clan Malkavian, Lumley of Clan Tremere, Montague Lytton of Clan Toreador and Wid of Clan Nosferatu. Smuggling themselves into the First and Second Fleets, the Cackers became the King's Star when free in Australia to create their own primogen and bloodlines. They formed a pact keep other vampires (outside of their own progeny) out of Australia and were successful for a long time until the decay of White Australia policy (1945-1973) brought in the Kuei-jin and began the current War of Shadow & Silk. The surviving members of the King's Star and lesser princes have begun to recruit "specialists" from outside non-Sabbat clans to serve as contractors in the war but these vampires are never given the right to make progeny on Australian soils.
