Court of a Thousand Mounds

It is unknown when the first Kindred entered the city of Tokyo, but only the power of a methusaleah was able to bind them all together.
Using his ancient wits and political acumen, he managed to get the other seven courts to accept his bid for being the eighth power in the land. His iron fisted control of those who bent the knee not withstanding.

### The Reign of the Dread Count of the Dead

Count Conner of Poole, Childe of Japeth, Childe of Cappadocius took over the city with a surprising amount of concessions to the other courts, wiping out any political power of both Clan Tremere and the Camarilla in one fell swoop, firmly entrenching himself as an authority both older and more important than this "fledgling" organization that had struggled to retain a foothold in this city.
On the night between the  13th and the 14th of April 2018, a blood hunt was declared on the three Cainites who had failed to bow their heads before Count Conner of Tokyo, it becoming a sporting competition between Leo the Staunch and Celina to hunt the wretches down.

#### Laws of the Domain

* Those who can trace their line to either one of the medieval usurpers are banned from the city on pain of death of body and soul
* The Kine shall not be slayed unless it is to uphold the silence of the blood or as a mercy
* The first share of the bodies of the dead goes to the Count
* The first share of the souls of the dead goes to the Count
* Hold fast to our six traditions

> *until the night I deem them ready to truly join our ranks."*
>
>

* Destruction

> *"We have lived past death, but she will have her due one day.*
