ON OATHS AND LAWS
"I may be a blood-sucking creature from beyond the grave,
but my lawyers are SCARY!"
-Eric Vens
When little Tremeres are made, they are forced to drink the combined
blood of their elders, creating a sort of clan-wide bloodbond if it's
done three times. At the same time, they are taking an oath, a long and
important one which dated way back.It is this Oath which should at least
enter into decisions as to questionable activities. A copy is attached
to this document as Appendix I. Read it, this
will be on the test.
Being a Tremere is a bit like being in an examination 24 hours a day,
everyday, forever. It's not that bad, and it sometimes actually saves
you. For example, other Tremere have an obligation to save your butt
from trouble if they can because they too are being examined, and
hostility within the Clan is not tolerated. You're not expected to like
each other, but you better be professional about it. Personal
differences ar resolved in a variety of ways, but they usually are
either frontal, and all Clan position is lain aside to deal with it, or
it is subtle and within the Clan anyway. The latter is more common.
Now, with regard to oaths made to other authorities, including the
Camarilla. Remember that duty to clan comes first, all others second.
This means that if your other oaths come in comflict with the Tremere
oath, or your duty to the Clan, you are expected to break the other
oath.
The same goes for laws. If the Clan orders you to break a tradition of
the Camarilla, guess what? You do it. And, if your standing is good,
they will save you from any possible problems you have as a result of
that, though as in any large conspiracy you should cover your proverbial
ass.
