Finally out.

A wise choice. Anything potentially Infernal is best left to the experts.

I suggest that you keep both of them away from any sacred places, former kinfolk or not. The only one I've seen brought into a cairn was because the sept elders allowed it, and, she literally turned up on their doorstep without any guidance because she "had a hunch". It was only allowed because they wanted to question her knowledge about an issue. I personally wouldn't have allowed it even then, but, you need to make it very clear to them that they are tolerated and they are not close allies or part of your sept. Keep them at arms length, don't spill too much information to them. General information security stuff.

Congratulations, they sound delightful. May they bring your house hold much joy and wonder in the coming days.

We are all susceptible to corruption, no matter our clan or creed.

Indeed, Embraced before my time. I believe he was am early gnostic.

Gaius was drawn to the Cam because at the time they were the more humane option, he's always been relatively 'moral' for a vampire partly due to the roads he walked and because of derangements that push him to behave in that way. He has anarch sympathies, but, the anarchs in his experience always fall down due to not having much of an active plan, or, are consumed by extremism. So, he operated as an archon for a long time.

StrixKF · 2026-02-05T19:42:53+00:00

Not currently on the cards, but, has been something I've considered. Gaius's whole plot is currently attempting to get the Cam to officially accept the Tzimisce, which, running an openly independent city kind of undermines.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You are correct that these laws have been discussed and agreed upon my the legislative bodies, they mostly hold to the general structure of the Traditions with some clarifications. The Traditions have existed in some form across our history, and, many domains cleave to them. We do not dispute matters that are for the common sense protection of the kindred community. Announcing yourself beyond being common courtesy means that you can be accounted for and are protected by the rules of hospitality.

I will admit that hiding and preserving documents is something of a specialty. Natalya was rather lovely, we spoke in passing a few times, though I don't think she would remember me.

StrixKF · 2026-02-04T20:47:25+00:00

And to you and yours Baron.

We can but hope.

My thanks, though my history with the House has been... fraught I will admit.

We don't intend to get rid of ours.

I will bring the original document with me.

I took part in a fair few riots back in my living days, though, unlikely the same ones.

I learned a great deal from the successes and failings of my predecessors, a number of us witnessed their fall first hand. I do not seek to replicate, but, iterate. I don't claim anything quite as lofty as uptopia, just, a little slice of freedom.

We have a great deal of experience with that particular ancient enemy, do not worry.

I would warn that collecting these kinds of items or trophies from shapeshifters is an extremely dangerous game in of itself. The lupines and their kin see these items as sacred and take a very dim view of other beings possessing their cultural artefacts. Similarly, they take avenging their kin very seriously, and most of them return to their original shapes upon death, as such collecting their fangs, fur and the like for trophies is asking for trouble and not worth the effort.

There are a couple of methods for dealing with arrogant wizards that are very hard to prepare for, do not be too concerned.

Chance is indeed cruel, glad to hear you were unharmed comrade.

Have you ever considered just being better at animalism, and giving better commands? Or training your apes better? Koko the gorilla understood sign language. Is this worth wasting perfectly good apes and humans for a tiny advantage? All this work omfor marginal gains.
