Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night ”Dread” Chapter 15: The Weight of the River

As the Mississippi cuts through the heart of Minneapolis, the coterie gathers under a humid, heavy sky to piece together the fragments left behind by Jonathan Chase. Kaetao follows new trails, William finds meaning in the madness of red string and symbols, and a Nosferatu informant surfaces with more answers—and more questions—than anyone expected.

While plans are laid in the quiet of the park, elsewhere in the city, Warren’s struggle with control reaches its breaking point. What begins as guilt becomes something else entirely, and the night reminds him that monsters rarely get to choose what they become.

The river moves on. The city holds its breath. And the Kindred of the Twin Cities drift further from the illusion of control.

About the Chronicle

Dread is the third story arc of Twin Cities by Night, a Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle set in the hot and humid summer of 2011 in Minneapolis–St. Paul.

Following the events of Negligence and Homecoming, the city’s Kindred find themselves caught in new webs of fear, grief, and corruption. In the dark heart of the Twin Cities, power and hunger have never felt so close.
