The Six Traditions
The Traditions
form the legal backbone of Camarilla society, although in
London, the Prince fulfills the elder role outlined in the
traditions. Most vampiric culture springs from the Traditions,
presentation is outlined in the Tradition of Hospitality, the
Blood Hunt in the Tradition of Destruction, and the parceling of
land in the Tradition of Domain.
Masquerade Thou shall not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood. Doing such shall renounce thy claims of Blood. Domain Thy domain is thine own concern. All others owe thee respect while in it. None may challenge thy word while in thy domain. Progeny Thou shall only Sire another with the permission of thine Elder. If thou createst another without thine Elder’s leave, both thou and thy Progeny shall be slain. Accounting Those thou create are thine own children. Until thy Progeny shall be Released, thou shall command them in all things. Their sins are thine to endure. 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. 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. |
