The First Tradition: The Masquerade
Thou shalt not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood.
Doing so shall renounce thy claims of Blood.

We live in secret.
Clear and simple.

The Second Tradition: The Domain
Thy Domain is thy own concern.
All others owe thee respect while in it.
None may challenge thy word in thy Domain.

The Darkmanes domain is Graal.
Their word is law and respect for them is mandatory.

The Third Tradition: The Progeny
Thou shalt sire another only with permission of thine Elder.
If thou createst another without thine Elder's leave, both thou and thy progeny shall be slain.

You must get permission from your Sire to embrace .
If you don't, both you and your childe could be punished.

The Fourth Tradition: The Accounting
Those thou create are thine own childer.
Until thy progeny shall be released, thou shalt command them in all things.
Their sins are thine to endure.

Each Sire should explain to their childer what being a vampire in Ventrue is all about.

The Fifth Tradition: Hospitality
Honor one another's Domain.
When thou comest to a foreign city, thou shalt present thyself to the one who ruleth there.
Without the Word of Acceptance, thou art nothing.

We show respect to others, both within another guild or alone.
We DO NOT lame in any shape or form.
We DO NOT use any form of Derogatory Comments.
Disobeying any of these will bring strife upon thy childe and thy sire.

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.

Killing another of your kindred in anger or spite whether they are on or off tag is forbidden.
