The Ordo Dracul has been mapping Wyrm’s Nests and ley lines in Europe since the beginning of the 19th century (actually for much longer, but notes before then are unreliable; see Chapter One), but during the World Wars the energies of that region shifted so dramatically that many of the surviving maps were hopelessly inaccurate. Mapping of ley lines and Nests in the Americas proceeded slowly, as the covenant moved across the nations, but by the middle of the 20th century had become fairly consistent. Still, ley lines shift, and the Ordo Dracul doesn’t have a presence everywhere, so the search for ley lines can never truly be finished.
The ease of finding Wyrm’s Nests depends on the Nest in question. Some Wyrm’s Nests bleed with spiritual energy, detectable even to relatively insensitive mortals. Most are more subtle and require a mortal or vampire with special perceptions to detect them. All Wyrm’s Nests have a particular “flavor” ofenergy that they give off, a resonance that colors any feelings a sensitive mortal or vampire receives from the site. As such, Wyrm’s Nests aspected toward violence, blood or anger are the easiest for vampires to stumble across unaided. Some such Nests even trigger a sensation similar to the Predator’s Taint. By contrast, Nests that give off feelings of life, vibrancy or other benign feelings tend to slip below the Ordo’s notice. This is just as well, for the Dragons can make little use of such places.
