The Ladder in Blackmouth

The Ladder founded Blackmouth’s Concilium. It was a théarch, Dianann, who first dealt with the Watcher and opened the city to the Diamond, and the Ladder held the pre-eminent position in the city until the Fire and the scandal of the Rebirth. With their power stripped by circumstance and old rivalries blooming, the remaining members of the Order chose to abandon the city rather than become the sacrificial scapegoat for the deeds of the Enlightened Ones. In doing so, they shattered the fragile peace of the Concilium and began the Upheaval.

When they returned a century later in 1988, they almost broke the Concilium once again by unbalancing the fragile detente, but in time the politics of the city opened to them once more. Now, in the 2010s, the Concilium has its first théarch Councillor in nearly one and a half centuries.

The Ladder of the 2010s is a fiery and vibrant Order, a far cry from the old nobility that once held the city in its grip. The Ascendants of the Dawn, a primarily Silver Ladder cabal led by Seventh, the newly-risen Councillor of the Thorn, is the preeminent Ladder cabal in the city and masters of the city’s cryptopoly through its strong connections with New Age groups.
