Sabbat of Seattle (Seraphina)

## Overview

Under Archbishop Seraphina's rule, the Seattle Sabbat has risen to become a dominant and powerful force in the region. Through strategic planning, disciplined organization, and a strong sense of unity, the sect has established a firm foothold in the city and expanded its influence.

Seraphina has implemented a structured hierarchy, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and cooperation among the Sabbat members. The sect operates with a mix of cloistered packs, led by experienced leaders and responsible for various tasks, and nomad packs, granted autonomy to carry out specialized missions and expand the Sabbat's reach beyond Seattle.

With Seraphina's guidance, the Sabbat has become known for its efficiency, discipline, and unwavering dedication to their cause. The sect operates with a clear focus on furthering their goals and solidifying their position of power. Each pack plays a vital role in the overall strategy, working in harmony to achieve the sect's objectives.

Notably, Thorstein Erikkson and his pack, the Wild Ones, enjoy a unique autonomy within the Seattle Sabbat. Due to Thorstein's reputation and long history, Seraphina has granted them a considerable level of freedom to pursue their own agendas. While still loyal to the Sabbat, the Wild Ones operate independently and add a dynamic element to the sect's activities.

Under Seraphina's rule, the Seattle Sabbat has thrived and successfully challenged the Camarilla and other rival factions. The sect's unity, discipline, and strategic leadership have solidified its dominance, making it a force to be reckoned with in the region. With Seraphina at the helm, the Sabbat's influence continues to expand, furthering their agenda and ensuring their position as a formidable adversary.

## Organization

Seraphina's Seattle Sabbat is structured in a way that allows for both stability and flexibility within the sect. The organization consists of both cloistered (permanent) packs and nomad packs, each serving distinct roles and functions. Additionally, there is a unique autonomy granted to Thorstein Eriksson and his pack, the Wild Ones.

**Cloistered Packs**: The cloistered packs are established and permanent packs that operate within Seattle under Seraphina's authority. These packs are composed of loyal and dedicated Sabbat members who work together closely to further the goals and interests of the sect. They adhere to the teachings and guidance of Seraphina, who maintains a strong influence over their activities.

**Nomad Packs**: In addition to the cloistered packs, Seraphina's Seattle Sabbat includes nomad packs. These packs are comprised of wandering Sabbat vampires who do not have a fixed location or haven within the city. They are granted a degree of independence and freedom in their actions, often engaging in missions or tasks that require mobility and adaptability. These nomad packs serve as valuable resources for the Sabbat, carrying out specific objectives and providing support where needed.

Unique Autonomy Granted to Thorstein Eriksson and the Wild Ones: Within Seraphina's Seattle Sabbat, Thorstein Eriksson and his pack, known as the Wild Ones, are granted a significant level of autonomy. Thorstein, being the eldest vampire in the city and embodying violence and rebellion, is respected for his long-standing experience and feared for his ferocity. The Wild Ones operate with their own distinct style and approach, aligning with Thorstein's thrill-seeking nature and rebellious demeanor. They are often given the freedom to pursue their own objectives and make decisions that align with their unique perspectives, while still maintaining a general allegiance to the Sabbat and its principles.
