The Chantry
The chantry is located in Tulane University, but not however in any central building. Rather there are many scattered doors and entrances across the main building of the campus that can take one into the Chantry, if you know where to find them and how to unlock them.
The Chantry has a large library with a central wing dedicated to the occult and magical study, large wing dedicated to anything and everything to do with New Orleans, and a few smaller wings decided to other fields of academic or scientific interest. Zoranna and LeRoy also have their own private libraries.
It has rooms and amenities for ghouls and kindred and there is a set aside Laboratory/Ritual spaces that the apprentices must share. There are also private rooms of similar design for Tremere of higher rank.
The Library has the following Bonus’:
Library (Occult [Hermetic Thaumaturgy]) •••

Transubstantiation of Seven
You are blood bound one point to the Clan itself, but also this extends to a sort of faux one point blood bond to any tremere of higher rank than you. If the blood bond ever puts you in conflict between two tremere, the bond to the higher ranking member wins out, and if a the bond ever put you in conflict between a member of clan and the clan itself, the bond to the clan wins out.
Paths Available
The exact breadth of blood magic knowledge available within the chantry is not known to any of your characters, however between the library and tutoring from those higher in rank than yourself the following paths are available to learn up to the fifth dot:
Hands of Destruction
Lure of Flames
Movement of the Mind
Path of Blood
Path of Conjuring
So all the staple, bread and butter paths of the clan are available you. You all know that there are rarer, more esoteric paths that can potentially be yours, but those are not readily at your fingertips.
Rituals Available
Much like the available Paths the Rituals that are available are all the common staples of the clan. Any of these rituals you can purchase so long as you have the EXP, the time, and enough dots in Thaumaturgy. Your character is of course aware that there are other, rarer rituals, but those are not easily available to you to learn. Though if there is a ritual not on this list your character could learn through library research that it exist and try to earn the privilege to be taught it from someone higher in the Chantry.
Level One: Communicate with Kindred Sire, Defense of the Sacred Haven, Deflection of Wooden Doom, Devil's Touch, Wake with Evening's Freshness.
Level Two: Principal Focus of Vitae Infusion, Ward Versus Ghouls.
Level Three: Incorporeal Passage, Pavis of Foul Presence.
Level Four: Bone of Lies.
Level Five: Blood Contract.
At character creation you are not limited to this list as your characters could have learned rarer rituals from teachers in previous chantries whom you impressed.
Clan Tremere in North America
Inner Council
Meerlinda of Wessex
-Councilor of North America
Aside from what you’ve read in Tremere history books you know little of Meerlinda. When not in Vienna she makes her haven near the Camarilla stronghold of Boston, watching over all tremere interests in North America.
Pontifex
John Diamond
-Pontifex of the Northeastern United States of America
Childe of Meerlinda, Diamond oversees all of the Northeastern states from Maine all the way to Indiana. It’s a known fact that he heads up most of Clan Tremere's business interests in North America on behalf of Meerlinda.
Theresa Kymena
-Pontifex of Eastern Canada and the Great North
Theresa’s position is more of a banishment and punishment than anything else. Her territory is staggeringly huge, but also mostly empty, the only Camarilla cities of note within it being Toronto and Ottawa.
Lucas Halton
-Pontifex of Texas and the Deep South of the United States of America
Not just Pontifex, but also a prince. Halton calls praxis over the battlefield city of Houston. He is your Pontifex.
John Trent
-Pontifex of the Southwest of the United States of America
Former Archon as well as former Alastor, Trent is Pontifex over: California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. His position is a testament of the Tremere picking the right man for the job as his position essentially just entails watching the south for the Sabbat and the west for Anarchs.
Karl Schrekt
-Pontifex of Central America
Former Justicar, and less a Pontifex in truth than a general in enemy territory. Karls job is simple in its wording but difficult to enact: keep close watch on the Sabbat holdings in Central America and try to undermine them whenever possible.
Nicolai Antonescu
-Pontifex the Central Middle America
The boy Tremere of Chicago. Nicolai makes his haven in the windy city and watches over the tremere interests in Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the populated areas of central Canada.
Yamauchi Mizuki
-Pontifex of the Northwest
Japanese tremere who watches over the tremere interests in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, The Yukon Territory, and Alaska. She makes her primary haven on Victoria Island but is known to frequently move about her territory.
The Lords of the South
Wyat & Hunter Hayford
-Lords of Texas
Because texas is so large and such a battleground versus the Sabbat Halton has appointed two lords to the state where he resides to help share the burden, one for the south and one for the north. Wyat and Hunter are brothers. They were hunters and occultists in life in the wild untamed Republic of Texas. They were both turned by Halton and have been Lords for the past half century.
Carna
-Lord of Oklahoma and Arkansas
Primogen of Oklahoma city and Lord of two flyover states. Carna was given this position as a punishment for some unknown offense. Its unknown what she did do deserve this ignobility but she must have fallen hard because she was once Prince of Marseille.
Mortius
-Lord of Louisiana
Magician and occultist in life, Mortius is an archaeologist, scholar, and lorekeeper. He has a great interest in the supernatural within Louisiana, the entire state seeming to be steeped in the occult. He makes his haven in the quiet city of Alexandria, but is known to move about the state on journeys and projects.
Hannah Sinclair
-Lord of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia
Former Primogen of Atlanta, after the city fell to the Sabbat Hannah was ordered to Montgomery Alabama. Rumor has it she’s under great pressure from Halton to gain support from the nearby Camarilla Praxis to retake Atlanta.
Rhett Nettles
-Lord of Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina
Primogen of Charlotte North Carolina, Nettles looks after tremere interests in these three rather quiet southern states. Though since the fall of Atlanta Rhett has felt great pressure to secure the cities under his care that are within striking distance.
Abigail Crowe
-Lord of Florida
Abigail has the difficult task of lording over the Tremere in Florida and keeping watch upon the clan's enemies and rivals. Not an easy task as florida has a handful of Anarch and Sabbat domains while both the Giovanni and the Followers of Set have an incredibly deep hold on much of the state, especially the city of Miami.
