Culture,civilization,sopistication-the Ventrue are
proudly dedicated to these tenets.After the Inquisition
blazed across the world and scourged the Kindred ancient
and young,the Ventrue lead the way in uniting the clans
of the Camarilla.The Camarilla is a vampiric society
dedicated to civilized,careful and secret excistence
within the mortal population, and based on the noble Six
Traditions,laws that are just as important today as they 
were Five hundred years ago.The Ventrue maintain the 
traditional structures that allow vampires to ignore the
lesser concerns of safety and sustenance.Vampires are
thus freed to attend to higher concerns ans more 
sophiscated pursuits.

 The Ventrue,in their own perspective,serve as the pillars
of society through wise leadership and diplomatic politics.
They seek to avoid brutish violence,preferring to settle
disputes through genteel politics and enlightened debate.
It is the clans hope that by displaying its unity and
strength,its courage and resolution,its foresight and
knowledge,all vampires may follow its good example and 
join in a true utopia.

 Ventrue consider the Masquerade to be the foundation
of vampiric society and hance not to be trifled with.
they feel those who meddle with all that is sacredin the
Camarilla should be rooted out and convinced of the sanctity
and significance of the Masquerade.However,Ventrue realize
that other Kindred should be treated gently,for they lack
the clans social wisdom.They hope that other vampires 
transgressions arise from weak wills and simple minds,not
frombase meanness.

 Ventrue assume(or take) great authority and great power.
they feel they are responsible for Kindred society and seek
to impose order upon it-their own order,regardless what 
others want.As part of this order,young Ventrue are taught
to respect elders.Greater even than superiors,however,are 
the laws and traditions of vampiric society;all new Ventrue
are expected to uphold and defend the Camarillas laws.As 
lessers,they should be providedwith examples of honorable 
sopisitication.The childe of a Ventrue is the essence of
nobility,with eternity as his destiny.



ORGANIZATION


Tradition is the greatest king.Ventrue
favor age,experience and generation over youth and
ability.They believe that the capable rise to the top
as soon as they prove themselves.In all matters,the 
Ventrue embrace caution and debate all sides of a
situation before acting.Of course some situations require
swift action,and such situations are usually recoginized.
 
 Much of Ventrue legislation and consideration occurs at
regualar weekly,monthly and yearly clan meetings.There
the clan follows a firm agenda and rationally proposes
new itineraries.In emergency situations,the eldest
Ventrue of the city calls for an immediate meeting.
