Date: 12 August 2000
Princes will not be permitted to lead Kindred into rebellion against their Elders in the Camarilla. Princes are the Camarilla's "generals-in-the-field"; our front line defense against the many enemies of our Great Society. Because Princes can go bad, the Founders of the Camarilla, (mandarin here) "Praise be their eternal wisdom" (back to English) established Justicars and Archons.
I hold dominion over you. For example: You are hereby stripped of all status save acknowledged and positional. Even your own Elders, private objections aside, concede the wisdom of our Great Society and the authority of its agents.
The clarity of your position negates the need for further discussion. If you are still Prince of Indianapolis on September 30th, I will preside over a Conclave in your domain to review your fitness as Prince. Expect no mercy. To herald my arrival on that night, the Kindred of Indianapolis are to fill the longest straight, uninterrupted street of Indianapolis with blood -- Kindred and Kine -- to a depth of one inch. Lack of volume will be made up with contributions taken directly from the Kindred populace of Indianapolis. Responsibility for concealing this river of blood from the mortals will be the responsibility of the Kindred of Indianapolis. Failure punishable by Final Death.
Should you be removed as Prince before that night and delivered to me intact, the Conclave shall be cancelled.
Mental alteration is not the worst thing that can happen to a Kindred, Prince Moore.

LOTN: Guide to the Camarilla p. 105 "...others simply select the harshest punishment they can justify, trusting that it will discourage any further offenses....."
LOTN: Guide to the Camarilla p. 105 - 106 "... -- the situation escalates. One or more of the Camarilla's justicars may enter the picture. Such a monumentous event is usually terrifying for all Cainites in the affected city, since justicars are empowered to use whatever means are necessary to protect the Camarilla and have the power to do so....a situation made easier by the near-universal desire of the vampiric populace to avoid the attention of the justicar."
TT Guide to the Camarilla p. 27 "In the end though, justicars are regarded with awe and fear. Their wrath is terrible, and their power is immense. No Kindred dares to refuse them, even if it aids in that vampire's own destruction. They stride the Camarilla like colossi, and the shadow they cast is long indeed."
TT Vampire the Masquerade (latest edition) p. 66 "Many vampires, elders and younglings alike, resent the power the justicars wield, and certainly none care for the abuses that can come with it. However, very few would dream of openly taking them on, due to their immense age and resources."

And finally. To his Celestial Eminence and Tai Pan, Robert Pedder
Simple observation for simple minds: You serve the Camarilla, it does not serve you. I swore allegiance to a set of ideals, not a tyrant wallowing in the depths of denial who would simply scare people into silence. Status does not make truth, and you will never be able to change that.
"The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the Earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought."
Not bad for somebody who died in 1950. Perhaps you should read it. It would probably be better if you didn't though. I'm surprised you haven't had every copy you can find burned "Big Brother".
My mind remains free, and I'll never bend my knee to you.

King of the Playground
Prince of Indianapolis
