Primary meeting place for the Tremere of New York, and place where the rituals and meetings are held. One of many places within the Chantry.
Entered by a trio of expertly hidden and guarded trap doors, in and outside of the Library, the Chantry is a huge subterranean structure. Built long ago before the completion of the Library itself, it has been constantly fixed and expanded, including three floors total, with a fourth hidden from all but those of the Primogens Inner Circle used for the most secret of rituals and meetings.
The Chantry is governed by a very simple set of laws.
1- entry by any but Tremere is forbidden, without any exemptions, including princes, justicars, and other investigative groups of the Camarilla.
2- what is said in the Chantry is not to be said ever again outside of Tremere Chantry walls, punishable by death.
The new Primogen Meiko has already insituted dozens of new sefeguards against intruders and other forms of intelligence gathering from the Chantry. Instead of the normal four guards at the entrances, the number becomes six, with two others stationed outside to watch for any approaching. They have jobs in the library and nearby restaurants to warrant their presence.
The main floor is where the primary meetings of the clann occur, as well as private meetings between Tremere elders and their favored apprentices. Below this is a floor devoted to nothing but thaumaturgical labratories and the topmost entrance of a two story giant library. Below this is the residential chambers and armory.
The last floor down is hidden as previously mentioned, but it contains a private labratory, study, and library, as well as even more extensive defenses against scrying of any sort.
