Lodin's Laws
Prince Lodin may have met his final death, but his laws live on. Whether out of habit or good sense, most of Chicago's Kindred still abide by these dictums. As new blood flocks to the city, however, this is sure to change.
- None in my city shall kill and leave behind evidence of their feasting. If your slaying causes an investigation among the Police, or worse, among the Press, then I shall track you down and extinguish you--or, if others speak for you, exile you. You must lick all your wounds, and dispose of all those you kill. I hold the Fourth Tradition in strong regard and do not take such violations of the Masquerade lightly.
- Do not harm the travelers to this city, for its wealth is based upon its status as a center of commerce and travel. You may feed from such, but do not leave any evidence of your feast. You should not test me on this, for these folk are the basis of the wealth of my realm.
- Have nothing to do with any of those among the Press. They are to be strictly ignored. They are my Domain. Neither should you attempt to enslave or manipulate the Police of the city. They are my Domain as well.
- Keep the Sanctity of Elysium, for that is our place of rest and recreation. No act of violence or struggle shall be tolerated therein. You may attend my court there, as all in my city are free to do, but you must not carry your conflicts into the sanctity of its ground.
- Do no hold commerce with my enemies or those who seek to usurp my rightful authority. I shall repay treachery with treachery, rebellion with iron might. Let me caution you, I know all that happens within my realm. Do not think you can keep secrets from me.
