Seat of Power: Blackmere House, hidden beneath the Thames embankment near Temple.
Ruler: Duchess Isolde of Blackmere
Nature of Government: Neo-feudal vampire duchy under the ancient Code of the Crimson Seal.
Population: Approximately 200 registered vampires, hundreds of unregistered “strays.”
Public Cover: The Blackmere Foundation for Historical Preservation, a front for the duchy’s finances and cultural outreach.
IV. SEAT OF POWER: Blackmere House
•	Location: Concealed beneath the ruins of a burned-out Georgian manor, its upper floors accessible through a derelict law office in Temple.
•	Interior:
o	The Grand Hall: where the Duchess holds her nocturnal courts.
o	The Vaults: an underground labyrinth storing centuries of blood vintages, relics, and the sealed tombs of traitors.
o	The Mirror Chamber: used for communion with ancestral spirits.
o	The Red Garden: a hydroponic greenhouse fed with bloodwater; open only to the Duchess and her Priestess.
Nature: Seat of the Duchy of Nocturne
Vampire Significance: The court’s heart — its throne room, catacombs, and treasury.
Mage Significance: Rumored to sit upon a Prime Hallow, corrupted centuries ago. Mages sense an echo of divine law twisted into vampiric dominion.
Conflict Hook: A mage cabal from the Silver Ladder seeks to “purify” the site, claiming it once anchored the Crown of Albion’s Aetheric Leyline. The Duchess forbids intrusion.
