Celestial Chorus
The third most powerful traditionalist group in Montreal, missionaries of the Chœur Céleste arrived in the 1600s alongside French colonists and fur traders with the goal of saving the souls of the natives. For a time Montreal was a city blessed with potent True Faith, with many churches tending to Catholic faithful and the cross erected at the top of Mount Royal acting as a shining beacon. Now the neon cross is a hollow beacon used by infernalist vampires to watch the city at night and the demon that slumbers under the mountain casts nightmares and maledictions on the city.
For other religious denominations, Montreal has always been a safe harbor city. The particulars of protected language education in the city , which generally permit the formation of private schools in an ethnic group's language of choice, has allowed minority religious denominations to avoid secular assimilation. Sufis and Kabbalists are numerous among the Chorus, as well as a growing number of awakened Khalsa from northern India.
Notable Groups:
- Knights of the Temple of Solomon: the largest formation of Choristers in Montreal is largely foreign, composed of volunteers from elsewhere flocking to embattled city in order to defeat the Sabbat. As with their Disparate kin, the Templars have a great number of unawakened lay members.
- Electric Knights of Saint Isidore: a small group of Techgnosi (magi who attempt to blend faith and technology) who seek to turn the Neon Cross back into a holy symbol. Make use of blessed powered armor festooned with bright lights.
- Commission of Special Religious Schools: representing the lay communities of foreign-language religious schools founded by various religious minorities, including Jews, Greeks, Muslims, Armenians and Sikhs.
