The Getty Peace Talks

The Getty Peace Talks

Following the execution of Smiling Jack, the Camarilla agreed to meet with the leaders of the SoCal revolt. Nines Rodriguez and Therese Voerman represented the Anarch side during the talks, while the prince of San Franscico, Sara Anne Winder led the Camarilla side along with Prince Hellene Panhard of New York.

Negotiations began by discussing land division, but it became clear that neither side wanted to surrender any more land. Proposing several compromises, Marguerite Dryden tried to keep peace. Her ideas were flatly rejected by the Movement. Gereon Wynter was in attendance wishing to bring an end to the violence. He lent his logic and reasoning skills as a negotiator to the talks.

Septus, as commanded by his Methuselah, argued against any outcome but the complete surrender of the Anarchs. It was Septus that turned the talks into a battle by refusing any compromise between the factions. He called in blood boons to push a vote and end discussion.

After three nights of discussions at the Getty Museum in LA, peace finally broke down. Each side accused the other of throwing the first punch, but the initial aggressor is unknown. What is known is that Nines Rodriguez died, along with Prince Winder, during the fight. When peace talks broke down, Marguerite Dryden used the Anarch bruisers themselves to subdue Nines, while Cashmere delivered the final blow.

Not all was in vein though, as the Anarchs agreed to limit their violence to Los Angeles, and call Anarchs out of the remainder of the Southwestern United States. This agreement appeared to stand, despite the deaths, as Therese Voerman and Prince Panhard were bound by blood contract to this end.
