To: The Camarilla
From: Tai Pan and Justicar Robert Pedder of Clan Ventrue
Date: 25 January 2001
The following positions (Keeper of the Gate, Sentinel, Magistrate, Lord Arcanum, Lore Master, Liaison and Knights of the Smith, etc.) are not recognized universally by the Camarilla. The Camarilla affirms the right of Princes to create and award titles and positions within their domain. Any additional stature afforded these position holders must be awarded through traditional protocol and is not innate. Only universally recognized Camarilla positions carry innate additional stature.
The Camarilla affirms the right of Princes to award sections of territory to individual Kindred (re: Marin County). Princes retain the right to reclaim such territory at any time conditional upon their ability to enforce their will. (ref: Directive 041500-174/Domain)
There is a difference between individual Kindred holding small swaths of territories and a Camarilla Prince. That difference should have been apparent both to "Prince" Peter Cole and "Seneschal" Hans Van Kruger. Both individuals will forfeit stature in our society (OOC: two status) for wasting the time of the Justicarate with such foolishness. Should "Prince" Cole and "Seneschal" Van Kruger choose to willingly sacrifice more it will be taken as a gesture of good faith and vice versa.
