2026 Timeline

Season 0 is the late start after the chronicle changed owners. These plots introduce the year and lead into Season 1 in January 2027.

The month grid is on Season 0.

May

12 May 2026

• The 76th Precinct explodes. Who did it is a mystery. Some credit a new pack that made itself known the same night.
• Los Bandidos de Mariel are Cuban asylum seekers from the early 80s who control the flow of cocaine in the North East. Their ductus, Tony Fontana, is a Priscus who keeps the title hidden for now. His packmate Manny is a Paladin to Francisco Polonia.

June

6 June 2026

• Police hit a dead end on the 76th bombing and file it as an accident. Case closed.
• Camarilla agents, upset over the murder of Prince Adrienne Waters, poke the city’s defenses.
• Earlier that day the Bridgeport esbat is rigged with enough explosives to level the block. Danesti’s sorcery catches the work. Cainites secure the site and find the charges.
• Min, Danesti, and others dismantle the explosives before the esbat goes up.
• The trail leads to Belco, a shell corporation set up by Sebastian Rowlands. His name is now in circulation.
• Archbishop Danesti retires and names Rook his successor. Polonia approves.

2 June 2026

• Priscus Isabella Flores visits the diocese to evaluate Job, lately acknowledged by Prisci Jake and Loki.

30 June 2026

• The 76th is locked down. Construction begins.
• The site is used for Archbishop Rook’s Blood Bath. Cardinal Francisco performs it.
• At the start of the after party, the Regent’s Paladin is murdered by a hunter. The weapon arrives on a remote-control car. The killer is known only as the Toy Man.

July

3 July 2026

• Human worshippers of Caine come in from across the city for the first Temple of Caine built for mortals. They congregate in Waterbury and squat on Holy Land while they wait.
• Investigations continue into the suspects from the esbat bombing.

7 July 2026

• Sid Naya is taken at the Bridgeport esbat by the Black Hand for what he has been spreading. He gets himself killed in the interview.
• Monroe fills with Romani travelers for a wedding between two large families. Tony Fontana, through the blood, sets a murder in motion. The families riot. The noise is how Job Bratovitch learns he is being made Priscus, and that a Blood Bath is next week.

14 July 2026

• Job is blood bathed at the church the travelers burned the week before. Priscus Tony performs it and consecrates the ground as Scorched Hope. The Cardinal, Ultra Conservative, will not do this himself for a Loyalist Priscus.

August

1 August 2026

• Crisis averted. The Children of Caine are not slaughtered by the FBI, and Waterbury does not become another Waco.
• The FBI leaves with Lily Oth, Hugo Grasberger, Edith Henry, Ordon Brujah, Vinny Turner, Sandy Lukowski, Vivian Miranda, and Judas Kline. The Judas they took is a body double.

11 August 2026

• The mayors of Bridgeport, Waterbury, and Silent City are found as heads mounted on each city’s tallest building. The bodies are not found.
• Fragments of a Banishment to Nod tablet are planted where each head was found. The pieces read as Noddist revelation and point at a longer scripture.
• Bishop Brigette leads the search. The fragments are in evidence at the Bridgeport 111th Precinct.
• Weyland, wearing Dana Lopez’s face, retrieves them and gives them to the Noddist Abhartach.
• Abhartach reconstructs the passage. This section is the Chronicles of Reckoning, from a larger book called Banishment to Nod.
• Death at the Bridgeport Bluefish Clappers, and a neighborhood blackout. Two immortals clash. The one who remains unleashes a Quickening that blows a transformer and blacks out about a mile.
• The blackout panics the crowd inside the coliseum. People are hurt.

September

8 September 2026

The last week of special elections for Bridgeport, Waterbury, and Silent City. Celebrities shove their way in. Each candidate promises a new city anthem.

Bridgeport

• Kris Rock. Controversial comedian, already a local icon, assumed to be the sure thing. Anthem: First of the Month.
• Snake Blitzkin. A street figure with a reputation for getting things done. Anthem: Escape from New York.

Waterbury

• Piotor Steele. Retired singer of Type O Positive. A Waterbury Wetters fan who moved to the city during the BASEketball boom. Raises money for blood banks and children’s cancer research. Anthem: This Corrosion.
• Cleo Getz. An accountant from the West Coast. Twenty years in witness protection after informing on South African diplomats laundering gold. She wants her name back, and money opened the door. Anthem: Albatross.

Silent City

• Rick Ocasick. Lead singer of the Deaftones. A party monster who thinks he has settled enough to run a city. The source note cuts off mid-sentence. Anthem: Drive.
• Melinda Carlisle. A 68-year-old pop icon who does not look a day over 45. In 1998 she took an experimental Panacea Pharmaceuticals drug, no longer on the market, that nearly halted her cell division. She retired to Shell Beach and runs the Ho-Ho’s Toy Drive. She has vowed two anthems: Our Lips Are Sealed and Video Killed the Radio Star.

The Shadowlands along the Silent Sound shoreline are in an uproar, fed by an excess of energy that keeps dispersing.

12 or 26 September 2026

The source marks this date as uncertain.
