A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE CRYPT - by Silverwolf

This is a room dedicated to the introduction and continuing ongoing roleplaying of the Storyteller Game system by White Wolf Game Studio.

Players may roleplay any of the Camarilla Clans, any of the Garou, or Tradition Mages in this World of Darkness setting.

Prince - Johnathan Mcdonald, Toreador Elder (NPC)

The overseer of a city, one who holds mastery of a city. The Prince claims the right of Domain over a city, and is its lawmaker and judge. He enforces the Masquerade, and is the final arbiter of disputes between Kindred. He has the right to call a blood hunt.

Advisor - Linda Mcdonald, Toreador (NPC)

The Prince's regent or second-in-command. She advises the Prince, and will also make decisions and issue orders on the Prince's behalf if they are unavailible. However, these decisions may ultimately be reversed or overruled by the Prince.

Justicar - Kindred that hold the power to punish transgressions of the Traditions, and the ultimate authorities in the Camarilla. All Camarilla are subject to their authority, excepting the members of the Inner Circle. Justicars are not subject to the Tradition of Domain. A Prince may not banish them, and the Justicar is not required to present herself to a Prince when she enters her domain. As Chief enforcers of the Traditions, they can overrule any Prince Justicar - Silverwolf, Gangrel Elder/Lead Storyteller Justicar - Akira (Head Justicar)

Sheriff - Silverwolf Enforces the Princes' laws and the Traditions as well as the edicts of the Prince. Because of the importance of these duties, the Sheriff has the authority to request that any kindred accompany her/him for questioning and judgement, and as a result, is immune to the powers of the Keeper of the Elysium.
