Assembling Carnevale models are pretty easy, but they do require some tools that a lot of people don't have. There are also some tools that while not necessary, definitely make life easier.
On the darkness night, the Rashaar brought forth the mighty Morgraur. Now, the citizens of Venice must band together to hunt it down before it can destroy everything in its path.
While each faction has a dedicated starter gang, there are numerous other themed boxes. Today we are going to discuss which boxes constitute a legal gang straight out of the box.
With the opening of the Rent, magic has poured into this world. For some, magic comes forth in spells and other tools of wizards and sorcerers. For others though, magic comes in paranormal abilities granting them powers beyond mortal men. These special individuals are known as the Gifted as they travel around Venice working for any who peak their fancy or can afford to pay their prices.
Before the Rent, magic was a thing of legend, stories of those Gifted with abilities beyond those of normal people. One of these was the noble Vlad Dracul. Gifted with the ability to take the life force of others, he found that he could also grant his ability to others. Traveling Europe he amassed an army. With the opening of the Rent, his army of Strigoi have expanded, incorporating not only noble and serf, but even the creatures from the Rent itself.
After the destruction of Rome and most of Italy, the Vatican has regrouped in Venice. A powerful force, it has brought the Inquisition forth in an attempt to extinguish the evil that has come through the Rent.
In Venice, the Golden Rule is “He who has the gold, makes the rules”. And nowhere is this seen more evidently that with the Patricians.

With the coming of the Rent, many Venetians have succumbed to the various maladies of the mind. Fro these poor people, the doctors of Ospedale San Servolo, are there to attend them. Rumors abound though that the screams of the patients are not the delusions of the madmen, but the cries of anguish as the doctors perform unspeakable experiments in the name of Science.
Beings from the other side of the Rent, the Rashaar are creatures from beneath the waves. Able to mate with humans, their offspring have brought forth a new enlightenment to Venice, as the word of Dagon is spread to the masses.
As the cataclysms from the Rent died down, the various guilds found protection, and prosperity in the merging of themselves into a single new organization. This organization, known simply as the Guild, now handles all aspects of operations both legal, and illegal. Ran by the mysterious council of thieves, it is often the best hope for the poor’s well-being.
