World of Darkness (cWoD Far East)

User Summary:

The Classic World of Darkness is the setting for White Wolf Entertainment AB's series of Storyteller games of gothic horror. Other settings for this family are based around various historical settings in the same world. This setting refers to a geographical subset of the books, relating to the Far East.

The lands of the Orient are separated from the rest of the world by more than just distance. The supernatural creatures of this area are distinct from their Western equivalents, almost alien in their strangeness. From the complex political structures of the Kuei-Jin vampires to the Beast Courts of the Hengeyokai shapeshifters, a whole new World of Darkness exists full of mystery and conflict.

There are five settings for the Classic World of Darkness. Any book within this family should be a member of one of the following four settings based on its historical period:

• World of Darkness (cWoD Modern) for the core modern day setting running from the 1990s to 2004, as well as the 1914 setting of Wraith: The Great War.
• World of Darkness (cWoD 19th Century) for the 1830 Savage West setting of Werewolf: The Wild West and the 1880 Gothic Victorian setting of Victorian Age: Vampire.
• World of Darkness (cWoD Renaissance) for the 1466 setting of Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade.
• World of Darkness (cWoD Dark Ages) for either of the original 1197 or revised 1230 Dark Ages settings.

Additionally, any books set in the Far East are also a member of the geographical setting World of Darkness (cWoD Far East), on top of the appropriate historical setting.
