KINDRED OF YORK,
IN THE AFTERMATH OF MY ASCENSION TO PRINCE, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF ISSUES WHICH HAVE IMPEDED MY INTENTIONS TO ADDRESS THE DOMAIN AS A WHOLE. WE HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH SCOUTING, INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, AND OUTRIGHT ATTACKING THE ENEMIES OF THE CAMARILLA. WHILE THESE ENDEAVORS HAVE PROVED FRUITFUL ON THE FRONT LINES OF BATTLE, I BELIEVE THERE IS CONFUSION ON THE HOME FRONT.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, I G.R. WHITEHORSE, PRINCE OF THE DOMAIN OF YORK HEREBY MAKE THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATIONS:
1. ALL CITIZENS ARE TO ABIDE BY THE TRADITIONS, AND ANY TREATIES THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL HAVE NEGATIVE RESULTS.
2. ALL RESIDENTS OF THE DOMAIN OF YORK WILL BE EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONTINUED FORTIFICATION OF THE DOMAIN, AND THE GENERAL WAR EFFORT PUT FORTH BY ITS OFFICERS. EACH OF YOU POSSESSES UNIQUE SKILLS, ABILITIES, AND KNOWLEDGE THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO THE FIGHT AGAINST OUR ENEMIES. I EXPECT YOU TO UTILIZE THEM ACCORDINGLY.
3.THE OFFICERS OF THE DOMAIN ARE AS FOLLOWS (OOC: ETIQUETTE FOR CORRECT SPELLING AND GRAMMAR):
- SENESCHAL- EMILE DELECROIX
- KEEPER OF THE ELYSIUM- MIKHAIL
- WARLORD- Q OF CLAN NOSFERATU
THE SCOURGE HAS CHOSEN TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS, AND WILL STAY HIDDEN UNTIL SUCH A TIME THAT REVELATION IS NECESSARY.
SINCE WE ARE AT WAR, I HAVE ELECTED TO ENACT THE POSITION OF WARLORD, IN LIEU OF SHERIFF. THE WARLORD WILL TAKE ON ALL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SHERIFF, AS WELL AS THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST THE ENEMY. SHE WILL BE THE OFFICER WHO COORDINATES ALL PARTIES WHO ENTER THE FIELD OF COMBAT AGAINST THE ENEMY. HER AUTHORITY TO LEAD IN THE FIELD, AGAINST THE ENEMY, IS ABSOLUTE AND FINAL. ONLY MY WORD AS PRINCE MAY SUPERSEDE HER DECISIONS AND AUTHORITY IN REGARDS TO THE ENEMY. WHEN THE TIME COMES, THAT WE ARE NO LONGER IN A STATE OF OPEN WAR WITH THE ENEMY, THE POSITION OF WARLORD SHALL REVERT BACK TO SHERIFF. SHE WILL CARRY THE STATUS OF FEARED AND WISE WHILE HOLDING THE POSITION OF WARLORD.
AT THIS TIME MR. SINCLAIR IS OUR HARPY. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE PRIMOGEN COUNCIL PUT FORTH A CANDIDATE FOR THE POSITION. THEY HAVE YET TO DO SO. I EXPECT THAT A CANDIDATE WILL BE PRESENTED TO ME, NO LATER THEN OUR NEXT GATHERING. I HAVE FAITH IN THE COUNCIL TO MAKE THIS DECISION IN A TIMELY MANNER.
SPEAKING OF THE PRIMOGEN COUNCIL; WHEN I LAST ADDRESSED THEM, I MADE IT CLEAR THAT CLAN ASSAMITE AND THE FOLLOWERS OF SET WOULD NOT BE STATUS BEARING MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I REMAIN COMMITTED TO THAT EDICT.
HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THOSE WHO ARE ACKNOWLEDGED CAMARILLA CITIZENS, BUT DO NOT BELONG TO A SEATED CLAN, HAVE A VOICE WITHIN THE DOMAIN. I HAVE GRANTED THEM SUCH A VOICE. FROM HERE OUT, WHEN THE PRIMOGEN COUNCIL MEETS, THERE WILL BE A SPEAKER FOR THE INDEPENDENT CLANS WHO WILL SIT WITH THE COUNCIL. THIS SPEAKER WILL NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL VOTE IN MATTERS OF THE DOMAIN NOR WILL THEY CARRY THE STANDING OF A PRIMOGEN. THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE COUNCIL WITH INSIGHT FROM THOSE ACKNOWLEDGED CITIZENS WHO DO NOT BELONG TO THE TRADITIONAL CLANS.
AS OF THIS MISSIVE MR. NOC, OF THE FOLLOWERS OF SET, HAS AGREED TO SERVE IN THIS CAPACITY.
LASTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF CITIZENS WHO HAVE PROVIDED EXEMPLARY SERVICE TO THE DOMAIN IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I G.R. WHITEHORSE, AWARD THE FOLLOWING STATUS:
MR. DELECROIX HAS BEEN A STALWART FIGURE TO THE DOMAIN. HIS STEADY HAND AND CALMING DEMEANOR HAVE BEEN AN ASSET IN DIPLOMACY. AS I AM EXALTED, HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS STALWART.
MIKHAIL'S QUICK THINKING, AND EXTREME CUNNING HAVE AIDED THE EVER DAUNTING TASK OF UPHOLDING THE FIRST TRADITION. AS I AM WELL-KNOWN, HE SHALL BE CUNNING.
PAPA PATRICE HAS BECOME AN INTIMIDATING FIGURE WHEN INTERROGATING THE ENEMY. HIS UNIQUE METHODS HAVE DRAWN OUT A PLETHORA OF INFORMATION, WHICH HAS BEEN USEFUL IN OUR FIGHT. AS I AM FAMOUS, HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS INTIMIDATING.
HERE ENDS THIS PROCLAMATION. BE SAFE, MIND THE TRADITIONS, AND BE READY TO STAND FOR THE CAMARILLA.
IN SERVICE,
G.R. WHITEHORSE
CLAN OF THE SEERS
PRINCE OF THE WHITE ROSE
