As
the landscape of Europe seemed to shrink, and the competition became
fierce for dwindling resources; the sects turned their attention
to the potential untapped wealth awaiting their arrival in the new
world. Competing with the English, the Invictus of France were the
first to breach the interior of Canada, expanding the search for
resources further and further into the unknown wilderness that awaited
them. Retainers were shipped overseas to establish colonies to support
the kindred to follow. As Samuel de Champlain began work upon Quebec
City, Etienne Brule learned the Huron language and ventured further
into the continent. Returning from his last excursion, Brule was
confronted by Champlain at the insistence of the Jesuits who were
concerned with the young explorer’s adoption of Huron customs.
In particular they focused upon his practice of Huron Shamanism
that was rumored to allow a man to transform his body from that
of a man to a large forest cat. The altercation drove Brule back
into the wilderness in 1620. During this time Brule is said to have
been embraced into the Gangrel clan and taught the ways of the Circle
of the Crone. Having been witness to the intense rivalry between
the Invictus of England and France, Brule conspired to have the
two competing factions escalate their feud to include the New World.
In 1629 Brule guided English forces through the Huron territory
to strike at Quebec City, capturing the outpost, and driving the
French back towards the east. Champlain was captured and returned
to France.
