Vampire: The Masquerade - Twin Cities by Night “Eidolon” Chapter 2: The Undercroft

In The Undercroft, Marco Giovanni arrives in the Twin Cities to finally meet the elder who summoned him—Rita Giovanni, the woman who first shaped his unlife decades ago. The journey from the safety of Boston to Rita’s lakeside estate is both literal and symbolic: a descent into the underworld of family, obligation, and buried desire. The episode unfolds like a gothic fever dream. The quiet, snow-tinged city gives way to shadowed corridors, old art, and echoes of the past that refuse to stay buried. When Marco steps across Rita’s threshold, memory and reality begin to blur—revealing the kind of power that only the Giovanni can truly understand. The Undercroft continues Eidolon’s descent into psychological horror, weaving a story of control, confession, and inheritance. Every whispered command and every remembered lesson hints at a deeper corruption within the family’s gilded legacy. About the Chronicle “Eidolon” is the fourth major arc in the Twin Cities by Night Vampire: the Masquerade continuity — following Negligence, Homecoming, and Dread — yet it also stands alone as an introspective, horror-laced drama. Set in the fall of 2010, Eidolon explores themes of death, obligation, and the unseen cost of power. The story follows Marco Giovanni, a necromancer drawn into the Twin Cities by the command of an elder, where he must expand his clan’s reach while contending with his own haunted past. A duet chronicle between Adam (as Marco Giovanni) and Chris (as Storyteller), Eidolon continues Twin Cities by Night’s tradition of exploring the personal horror at the heart of Vampire: the Masquerade — this time, through the eyes of one man bound by ghosts both living and dead. 🗨️ Hop into our Discord!
