Wow, if by some chance we get those players from Calgary that Kyle has interested we will be quite the game (even if they only come occasionally).
My thoughts are this if it happens. They can choose to join a existing domain as individuals if they want to (Like Thomas is)
OR
A complete separate kingdom under the Ard Rhi Didaskalos. Nicomedes has struck again. The Former Prince of this second Kingdom had an Artifact of great power (something that he was know to always wear or possess). It may or may not have been known that had powers publicly but it is the most obvious thing that is known to have been stolen. Nicomedes came in and diablerized (so the secrets of the artifacts couldn't be learned from his spirit) him. The Castle/fort/haven... has been evacuated due to evil emanations coming from the crypts (another Skull was placed). No one has yet been able to get through the passageways to see what is down there. Mortals die in fear and Cainites frenzy in fear and run.
There is no one Cainite with enough power to take the reigns and become Prince. As such the Ard Rhi has basically done what he did here. He has determined that the Lords who ruled under the now deceased Prince are to be Dukes and look both to their own territories and what once was the bigger Princedom.
He is not declaring a merger of both territories (old - Red Deer and new - Calgary) but strongly suggests that they share information in their hunt for Nicomedes.
What plays out from there is up to the players as for one or two Princedoms.... or three...
And as a intro to the new players we could simply write a setting/intro story that basically duplicates the one we gave Red Deer. Just without the torture?
What do you think? Assuming these players manifest in number. If they don't then they can just start forming additional Dukedoms, petty territories that now want to join the fold, or join other Dukedoms as individuals.
