Traditions

THE FIRST TRADITION: The Masquerade

Thou shall not reveal thy nature to those not of the Blood.

Doing so shall renounce thy claims of Blood.



THE SECOND TRADITION: THE DOMAIN

Thy domain is thine own concern. All others owe thee

respect while in it. None may challenge thy word while in

thy domain.



THE THIRD TRADITION: THE PROGENY

Thou shall sire another only with the permission of thine

elder. If thou createst another without thine elder's leave,

both thee and thy progeny shall be slain.



THE FOURTH TRADITION: THE ACCOUNTING

Those thou create are thine own childer. Until thy

progeny shall be released, thou shall command them in all

things. Their sins are thine to endure.



THE FIFTH TRADITION: HOSPITALITY

Honor one another's domain. When thou comest to a

foreign city, thou shall present thyself to the one who

ruleth there. Without the word of acceptance, thou art

nothing.



THE SIXTH TRADITION: DESTRUCTION

Thou art forbidden to destroy another of thy kind. The

right of destruction belongeth only to thine elder. Only the

eldest among thee shall call the blood hunt.
