tol doesn’t play with what the day-to-day operations of The Cult look like
I imagine that things would not be smooth sailing

If the group were BD, I would expect that the challenge the unseen would pose would mainly come from their organization and subterfuge
A sort of LE-type threat
Cult could be another, but I find going with a different style to their challenge is more enjoyable

Regardless, I tend to figure out world stuff first
I figure out how the world stuff might affect things like ‘why a movement like the unseen would even get off the ground in the first place’
It’s a generally fun exercise

i love vtm so much i’ll praise it and WoD endlessly

imo any ToLish campaign should probably be reckoning in some way with conversion (otherwise you’re just doing generic medieval fantasy)

obviously allowing conversion on party members can Cause Problems, but I think you want – a sense that even if an NPC was trustworthy and helped the party previously, that might not stay true

I’d be retrofitting this system

There’s already built-in ways to make this work without tons of dm fiat

there are many compelling reasons to keep the campaign within one-ish location the entire time
changing allegiances is one of them
