Things to bear in mind about the current state of various factions, when creating a Kindred character for this Chronicle:



Washington DC is a Camarilla City, with a Prince & Council as the ruling body of the Kindred. There is next to no presence of any other sects, and those disloyal or even just complacent about Camarilla law at least keep their mouths shut about it if they wish to live long. Those of non-Camarilla Clans who wish to swear loyalty to the Prince may be tolerated on an individual basis. It is said that Lasombra and Tzimisce Antitribu needn't bother trying, nor the Giovanni and Setites. Camarilla who come to a new City are assumed to be released and coming with character references from their prior Prince.

NB on the Use of the word "KINDRED": Out of habit, players freely use "Kindred" and "Vampire" interchangeably in this game, but that is incorrect (if you spot us having done this on the web site, please notify the Ops). Kindred correctly should only refer to Camarilla-inclined Vampires.

Kindred: The entire race of vampires as a whole, or a single vampire. According to vampire lore, the term came about in the 15th or 16th century after the Anarch Revolt. Sabbat hate this term and refuse to consider themselves as Kindred.

NB: Aside from the Six Traditions, there are four additional Laws decreed in Washington under the current Prince:



[1] Do not Sire for love (as per Caine's Law), for you do not want the additional burden, should the childe need putting down, of having to kill a lover;

[2] Do not Sire or Ghoul children, for their innocence is sacred;

[3] Do not kill to feed, for it is not necessary to our survival and attracts attention of the wrong sorts, and --

[4] Do not take ghouls without the Prince's permission, for many beings that seem mortal and therefore servants or herd, may in fact be supernaturals or belong to someone else already.



Additionally, you may never hunt in Georgetown, and you may never be present in Chinatown for any reason whatsoever.
