This little database has historical events, battles, names, and population totals, because those things are the boring research questions you need to answer for Vampire campaigns and similar.

The database is in plain-text, so you can edit it with notepad or vim. But it's also a relational database. Make of that what you will.

Right now it mostly focuses on Belgrade.

PRs very welcome.

Yes, but this thing is limited by tags. All the tags you have to put in manually

From your example in the link:

Century: 16
Year: 1521
Location: Belgrade
Tag: War
Event: Siege of Belgrade: Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent conquers Belgrade.

Unless you add Sultan into Tags, you have to query event description too in order to find all the details about Sultan. In Logseq it would be enough to use [[Sultan Suleiman]] in the text and it would behave like another tag

    Those are both manual tagging. One uses tag: sultan, the other uses [[sultan]].

    And you can word-search both of them for Sultan.

    Of course, if you have use for a WoD wiki, feel free to convert it. I assume Logseq will let people collaborate just as well with git.
