In Shadows of New York, players take on the role of Julia, a vampire of the mysterious and powerful clan Lasombra. Our protagonist is currently stuck in a rut, occupying a theoretically prestigious, but practically unimportant position in the city’s most influential faction - the Camarilla. This will all change when the news of the final death of the Anarch Baron of NYC reaches the Court’s attention - an unlikely nomination will seem a chance for Julia to finally make a name for herself, but she will be judged every step of the way.
