Gehenna (VTES)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gehenna (G) is the seventh expansion of White Wolf, Inc.'s trading card game Vampire: The Eternal Struggle released on February 17, 2004. The expansion's theme is Gehenna, the vampires' prophesied Armageddon. White Wolf also published in 2004 a series of books named Time of Judgement for its fictional game world World of Darkness. The book Gehenna within the Time Of Judgement series describes different Armageddon scenarios which effectively ended the Vampire: The Masquerade storyline. Vampire: The Eternal Struggle did not follow this timeline, but only included various events which signify the apocalyptic end of the world in this expansion.
