Now this is the Law of the Jungle - As old and true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.  Kipling

The First Tradition:  The Masquerade  Thou shalt not reveal thy true nature to those not of the Blood.  Doing such shall renounce thy claims of Blood.

The Second Tradition: The Domain   Thy Domain is thine own concern.  All others owe thee respect while in it.  None my challange thy word while in thy Domain.

The Third Tradition:  The Progeny    Thou shall only Sire another with the permission of thine Elder.  If thou createst another without thine Elder's leave, both thou and thy Progeny shall be slain.

The Fourth Tradition:  The Accounting    Those thou createst are thine own children.  Until thy Progeny shall be Released, thou shall command them in all things.  Their sins are thine to endure.

The Fifth Tradition:  Hospitality    Honor one another's Domain.  When thou comest to a foreign city, thou shall present thyself to the one who ruleth there.  Without the word of acceptance, thou art nothing.

The Sixth Tradition:  Destruction    Thou art forbidden to destroy another of thy kind.  The right of destruction belongeth only to thine Elder.  Only the Eldest among thee shall call the Blood Hunt.
