Despite losing the Brujah and the Gangrel, the Camarilla has bounced back by gaining the Banu Haqim and the Lasombra to replace them.
The Camarilla successfully took back Mexico City from the Sabbat after it being the latter's stronghold for centuries.
The Harbingers of Skulls, Giovanni "lesser" families, Samedi, and Cappadocian survivors all got together and knocked off the Elders of the Giovanni as well as the main clan. This seems to have also gotten rid of Augustus Giovanni.
Characters
Theo Bell killing Hardestadt is considered to be this in-universe as "the shot heard around the world". He used an extremely 90s "Dragon's Breath" shotgun to shoot him right in the face.
Kevin Jackson was a minor but well-regarded NPC in the previous two Chicago by Night supplements. The 5th Edition supplement elevates him to Prince of Chicago and has him negotiate the Lasombra joining the Camarilla.
Cardinal Polonia managed to convince the entirety of the Sabbat sect (or at least so many of them as to not matter) to join him on a Crusade to finally destroy the Antediluvians once and for all. Subverted in that this may have been the Antediluvians' plan all along.
Mithras is revealed to have been behind the "cleansing" of London in The Fall of London. He played the Camarilla, Second Inquisition, and Sabbat all against one another. He can potentially regain his 4th generation status as well.
