The same year, White Wolf released the first supplement for Vampire: The Dark Ages[1] titled Constantinople by Night, a 128-page softcover book designed by Philippe Boulle, Joshua Mosqueria-Asheim, and Lucien Soulban, with illustrations by Michael Gaydos, Eric Lacombe, Chuck Regan, Andrew Ritchie, and Andrew Trabbold, and cover art by William O'Connor and Matt Milberger.
[2] In the February 1997 edition of Arcane (Issue 16), Mark Barter was enthusiastic about this book, saying, "This is a spectacular backdrop for adventure and intrigue - a powerful and beautiful city tainted by blood and pride, which is founded on a dream of eternity that is about to end in flames."
Barter thought this was "an excellent supplement" but criticized the book for the brief scenario, commenting "A full-length adventure would have rounded off the package perfectly rather than the slightly threadbare outlines given here."
He concluded by giving the book an excellent rating of 9 out of 10, saying, " Impressive in its ambition and epic sweep, this is a magnificent addition to the ongoing masterpiece that is the World of Darkness.
"[2] In the October 1997 edition of Dragon (Issue #240), Rick Swan calls the book "a humdinger, a dazzling treatise on ancient Byzantine society as seen through the eyes of a psychopath."
