Rachel is aware of the Kindred superstition about the world outside of the city. Kindred were tied to urban environments where their food supply was and there was plenty of protection from the sun; though perhaps some Kindred had a little more freedom in this. Rachel had always assumed that all the folk lore of strange antagonistic creatures and disappearing Kindred had come from this anxiety, the fear of being away from the comforts of the city.

But Rachel had also heard of strange places of mystic energy. She knew that the Ordo Dracul hunted for lay lines of power, haunted houses and the like, and believed that they could tap into such locations.

But Rachel had no idea what the Duchesse was specifically referring to.
