Prince Tori Redford and Garou Elder William Burke were found murdered. Their deaths threatened the alliance between Madison's Kindred and Garou, weakened the Gahara Pact, and pushed several factions toward war.

	Madison remained peaceful on the surface, but that peace depended ~~increasingly~~ upon a ~~few~~ exhausted survivors.		At the same time, Madison, New Avalon, and New Eden became entangled in a final confrontation with the Nameless.

			The city survived, but the old order did not. Leaders died or disappeared, alliances fractured, and New Avalon became inaccessible. Many truths about the crisis were buried with those who died.

			== 1986 to 1996: Reconstruction and Attrition ==

			Jessica Woodfield became Prince and held Madison's Anarch domain together after the disasters of 1985.

			Madison's Awakened were less fortunate. Their council weakened, the chantries became increasingly isolated, and irreplaceable knowledge disappeared with each death.

			The city remained peaceful on the surface, but that peace depended upon a shrinking number of exhausted survivors.

Messages began arriving through channels that had been silent since 1999. New Awakenings increased, but Madison's supernatural institutions were not prepared for them.

			The city appeared peaceful. Beneath the surface, old agreements were beginning to fail.

			* [[2020–2024 – The Returning Paths]]

			== 2025: The Woodfield Succession ==

			Prince Jessica Woodfield is dead.

			Her death ends forty years of relative political stability. Madison's Anarch establishment is vulnerable, and the Camarilla sees an opportunity to claim the city.

			At the same time, newly Awakened mages enter a city whose magical institutions have already failed. The old masters are dead, missing, damaged, or pursuing private agendas. The chantries hold more secrets than living members.

			The future of Madison now rests with those who inherit what the old order left behind.

			* [[2025 – The Woodfield Succession]]

			=== Awakened of Madtown ===

			Newly Awakened mages must discover what they have become while the city's old supernatural protections begin failing around them.

			They inherit abandoned chantries, damaged alliances, unfinished promises, and enemies who have spent decades preparing for this moment.

			* [[Awakened of Madtown]]

			=== Kindred of Madtown ===

			Madison's Prince is dead, and every faction has its own vision for what should happen next.

			The city's Kindred must investigate the crisis, contain political violence, protect the Masquerade, and decide who has the right to rule an Anarch city that still calls its leader Prince.

			* [[Kindred of Madtown]]

			=== Gen Con 2026 ===

			The 2025 crisis provides the shared setting for two Gen Con 2026 chronicles:

			* '''''Awakened of Madtown''''', using ''Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition''
			* '''''Kindred of Madtown''''', using ''Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition''

	~~The city appeared peaceful. Underneath, old agreements were beginning to fail~~.		No previous experience with ''Madtown by Night'' or the World of Darkness is required.

	~~== 2025: The Present Chronicle ==~~		See [[Pre Generated Characters]] for current character information.
