Store Lore

The following is a brief summation of the lore of The Gateway amongst the various supernatural groups...remember that these are RUMORS...and not neccesarily true. If you want a scene in which one of these rumors possibly has some truth to it - be my guest...

Vampiric Reknown: This store contains detaled texts on the physiology of the vampire - all of which are locked in the owner's personal safe. More than one vampire has died their final death trying to lay hands on these texts.

Garou Reknown: It is thought that scribes from the first white explorers in many lands recorded the rituals and rites of many tribes - both mortal and Garou. It is belived that there may be texts with Rites thought to be long forgotten contained within the overflowing shelves.

Fae Reknown: The store oozes Glamour. Any shop dealing in nothing but the fantastic and the unknown is inevitably going to spark imaginations - and leave behind Glamour. Some even rumor that enough Glamour has been released within the shop to infuse it with a natural Balefire - almost an urban Glade. Dross, while not common, is not rare either and some think that the store may have naturally transformed itself into a Freehold.

Mage Reknown: Occult library out the ass bay-bee! The store is a bigass wellspring of Quintessence and the Gauntlet is suprisingly thin. It is also rumored that within the shop and the surrounding area, Paradox has a less drastic effect.

Wraith Reknown: The Shroud is very thin. The store is also a Haunt because several of the texts just so happen to be Fetters. Some circles speak of the ability of many wraiths to use Embody when they previously could not - or with greater effect - within the walls of the store.

Mummy Reknown: Who knows...The Secret Writings of Cabrius may be within those musty walls...
