The Weaver also has business in New York City, literally binding what's left of the tapestry there but facing the biggest challenges that even the Goddess of Order and Perfection could.

Modern New York City has become a symbol of the new ages. People around the world dream about New York City, thanks to hundreds, if not thousands of movies, series and mass media propaganda to make it a symbol of dreams coming true. That includes superheroes, supervillains, catastrophes and dreams of personal realization. You name it, if you're in New York it's possible.

This emphases has weaken the stronghold of the weaver over the city, allowing the Wyrm to find a soft spot and incidentally for other supernaturals as well. Blights and Pits have thrived in the guts of the City, along with some Freeholds for the Unseelie and Shadow Courts. The recent appearance of the Werewolves in Staten Island had triggered an accelerated decomposition of the Gauntlet weakening even more the Weavers positions but She Still Holds on with many of it's companies and initiatives for stay in the fight:

Shinzui Industries:
The Japanese megacorporation or Zaibatsu has both Chinese and Japanese stakeholders with an impressive presence in New York City, much like PENTEX there are no signs of this company per se, just it's branches and subsidiaries working behind the curtain for a sinister objective: mass control.

  • Development Neogenetics Amalgamated (DNA) "Genetic Research Today for a Perfect Future": this branch is heavily Linked with some agents of the Technocracy, specifically from Progenitors and Iteration X Conventions, to develop specific 'cures' for genetic anomalies, such as vampirism and shapeshifting. They employ many sleepers and also enlighten individuals from the Technocracy in their processes, some scientist and specialized technicians are Drones at the service of the Weaver working undercover.
  • Cyber Biotech Inc: this is another branch dedicated to the Transhumanism Project, their objective is to fusion humans and machines and create conscious, self-aware software. They also develop all kind of prosthetic and dedicate a huge part of their budget to Artificial Intelligence (AI) development.
  • Quantum Power Inc: Shinzui subsidiary dedicated to develop alternate energy sources, clean and sufficient to sustain the huge amount of machinery and software the Weaver has projected in the future. They also dedicate much of their budget to Quantum Physics Research in Basic Science and some R&D applications to computer science and electronics.
  • Dynamic Technology International: this is another Asian Zaibatsu aiming for a more direct approach to purge the world of supernatural activity one bullet round (or laser beam) at a time. The Founder of the Strike Force Zero (SF0) in Japan arrived to America with many Defense Project and Weapon Manufacturing Contracts for private and public funds.


The Weaver is also related with different supernaturals and not just for abduction and droning but also has established long term relationships with some organization that at least for the moment align with her interests. Following are some of these fortunate:

MAGES
The Technocracy doesn't recognize itself as part of the Mages but for the weaver these individuals are anomalies, regardless of their more 'potable' paradigm. It is acceptable enough to allow some join ventures and projects, also it has allow these mages to create Horizon Chapels, keeping away some of the calcifying spirits from their interests in the Umbra.

DEMONS
The Patriarch Incarna represents Dogma in all it's extension, all religions, specially monotheist religions are linked directly to it. In the First Age of Creation, before demons fell to Hell these celestial creatures knew this Incarna first handed as God with it's many names.

After the Fall some of it's more powerful guardians (The Angels) fell down transforming into Wyrm tainted Weaver beings, now called Demons. Others instead returned to Heaven and suffered an unexpected transformation that Cryptics are still trying to figure out.

VAMPIRES
What the weaver gives the Weaver can take. Through the Incarna of the Patriarch it cursed Cain and All Kindreds therefore, later corrupted by Lillith influence that allow them to untap with her demonic knowledge the power invested by God in punishing the first murderer.

The Inconnu is been secretly blessed by the Weaver conceding to some of it's member a state vampires know as Golconda for it's own purposes as agents of it's will.

CHANGELINGS
The Autumn People, also known as Dantuain are servers of disbelief and monotony, Faeries infected with Banality. They have been assimilated by the Weaver's power in a very unique way to make them fierce adversaries of the Wyld and all forces of change and creation.

WRAITHS
There are no current arrangements with the unfleshed.

SHAPESHIFTERS
The Ananasi are an spider breed of shapeshifters, hive Minded and cold blooded creatures with an obsession for perfection. Usually lonely and secluded in remote areas away from civilization they answer the Call of the Mother, Ananasa: one of Weaver's most dedicated servants.

In New York City many crawl in the sewers and nest with small clusters by orders of the Arachnid Mother to patiently wait for her plan to develop.

KINDREDS OF THE EAST
The Kuei Jin have no special arrangement with the Weaver but an old enemy of theirs is recently made it's way to town. An special operation team known as Strike Force Zero has adapted to American standards and with the help of the technocracy built and army of former agents of security forces that were allegedly dead, now reinstalled on duty thanks to a mix of Weaver Tech and Progenitor's mojo.
