Factions and lineages

Titles, Elysiums, debts and Masquerade rules remain intelligible to Camarilla visitors. This kinship of form facilitates diplomacy; it means neither submission nor delegated sovereignty.

An Anarch presence may negotiate passage, hunting or an audience. The Court requires a name responsible for the consequences. It tolerates dissent, not organised irresponsibility.

The Sabbat is treated as an active threat. Rumour alone is not enough to condemn a host, but an established presence closes the way to ordinary protection.

The Valeriana name is tied to old domains, long transmissions and a reputation producing more stories than public certainties. This age grants no automatic right over the Court.
