NORTH AMERICA

**of Note**

The Gangrel of North America have taken the brunt of the abuse in the wake of the clan's separation from the Camarilla. All along the East Coast, where tensions between the Sabbat and the Camarilla are taut, Gangrel are treated with suspicion at best, or destroyed on sight at worst. The besieged princes figure that those Gangrel who are not outright traitors are deserters; loyal Camarilla Gangrel stay close to their havens and bolt-holes to avoid identification mishaps. Further west, the tension ebbs and the Gangrel are subject only to the peculiarities of local leaders. Along the West Coast, the Gangrel also have the Cathayans to worry about.

Gangrel of Note: The Free Minutemen of Pocatello are a small group of independent Gangrel chosen from the ranks of local militias and survivalist groups. These revolutionaries are angry (and not just about the pallets of canned food going to waste in their bunkers) — they've gotten the idea that the vampires are controlled by the United Nations as part of a nefarious plot to overthrow the US. They intend to turn the enemy's tools against him.

Quebec's Cree Indians have a protector in a bestial creature known only as Muskuuchii — the name of the mountain it lives on. Other Gangrel report that this elder has approached them, most often in the form of a bear, to ask for their help in preventing the secession of Quebec from Canada, a development which might see the Cree's aboriginal lands taken from them. The ursine creature is of the opinion that there is an individual or organization with great influence thwarting its efforts. On the other hand, its efforts have most likely been naive and less than subtle.
