The City of StokeonTrent is unusual in that it comprises of five towns, each linked at one time to the pottery industry. Since the decline of the Pottery industry and later coal mining the city has focussed on the service industry as a source of income. The principle areas are Hanley and the adjoining town of Newcastle-under-Lyme (which does not form part of the City of StokeonTrent). These are the central business and leisure districts within the city.
Three other areas are worth note due to the amount of Kindred interest on them. Leek, the gateway to the Pennine Protectorate, is the principle financial centre within the area. Keele holds the oldest university in the area and is the principle seat of learning. Lastly, Cheadle is one of the oldest towns in the area and is of principle interest as one of the oldest Regencies in the country.
Crimson areas indicate predominantly rural areas either under Garou control or with insufficient population to support Kindred.
