Oddments

(In other words, the Anarch revolt is now over and the time for killing each other over the argument is done)

"This Concordiat, bound in the Covenant of Cain by SACRED VOW, represents an UNYIELDING, VIGILANT _TRUCE_ between the Kindred known unto themselves as THE ANARCHS, the CLAN ASSAMITE, and the free-standing Kindred bound under the title of THE CAMARILLA. Henceforth all parties shall be recognised by faction as THE ANARCHS, THE ASSAMITES and the CAMARILLA."

(Truce, not surrender, sworn by the elders and leaders of both sides in honour. Anarchs, Assamites and Camarilla are recognised by this document,this becomes important later as we shall see...)

"EACH of the parties agrees to the responsibility of MAINTAINING PEACE. EACH SHALL LAY ITS CENSURES UPON ANY WHO BREECH OR OPPOSE THIS SACRED AGREEMENT. ACCOUNTING WILL BE MADE OF ALL PARTIES FOR VIOLATIONS BY THEM TO EITHER THE LETTER OR SPIRIT OF THIS AGREEMENT. This document IS LEGALLY BINDING UNDER THE ACCEPTED LEXATIONALIS OF ALL CAINTIES as it has passed through the ages. All Kindred are entreated to accept and gain pleasure from this peaceful accord."

(We're ALL responsible for not letting it flare up again, each is responsible for punishing those of its own that breech the agreements or the spirit of peace that it was written in. The document is legally binding to all kindred, Justicars, Inner circle, anarchs et al)

"BE IT KNOWN THAT THE ANARCHS WILL ENJOIN WITH THE CAMARILLA AS AN ACCEPTED PART, MAKING IT WHOLE. ANARCHS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK PEACEFULLY TO ACHEIVE THEIR OWN ENDS. THEY MUST BECOME DEFENDERS OF ALL AND THEY SHALL RECIEVE FULL ENTITLEMENT TO ALL RIGHTS AND PRIVELEDGES BELONGING TO CAMARILLA KINDRED. All Anarchs shall be accepted back by their elders and their formally denounced clans without any fear of reprisal. Only the most vicious of atrocities shall not be forgiven. They shall stand written for the Justicars to hear within one year, after which all allegations are no longer valid. All Anarchs shall reclaim all remaining and rightful property confiscated from them. In return they must turn over any war gains taken during the conflict by giving them to their sires or any recognised clan elder."

(Like it or not, we're a part of you, a seperate and distinct part, a force for change and evolution, but a part nonetheless. We're expected to work peacefully to achieve out goals, ie not in war and fighting, but we are given the right to pursue those goals by non-violent means. In exchange we will fight threats to the sect, which we do and will continue to do. The latter half if this section is no longer relevent.)

"KNOW ALSO THAT IF THE ANARCHS ARE FURTHER WARRED UPON THIS OPEN JYHAD INVALIDATES THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN PEACE WITH THEIR ATTACKER. THEY MAY ACT FREELY WITHOUT FEAR OF REPRISAL FROM NONACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE CAMARILLA. ANARCHS ARE GUARANTEED THE FREEDOM TO ACT AS THEY PLEASE, SHORT OF BREACHING THE "MASQUERADE" IMPOSED FOR THE PROTECTION OF ALL KINDRED FROM THE KINE."

(If you attack us, we have the right to attack back and extract vengence upon those responsible for the attack WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE.Also we need follow no tradition or protocol save the Masquerade).

"It is also noted that any member of any OTHER self proclaimed sect must openly declare this before his elders and renounce this relation. Failure to do so will result in the destruction of any deemed guilty. NO KINDRED MAY BE SENT KNOWINGLY TO HIS DEATH BY ANY ELDER OR SIRE UNLESS THE SECURITY OF CLAN OR CAMARILLA OUTWEIGH THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF UNLIFE."

(This kinda screws up any independent sects, but not independent clans. It does however guarantee younger kindred some rights in the event of war so they don't get used and abused as cannon fodder).

"From this Night forward, the Assamites shall henceforth no longer commit their diablerie upon members of other clans. The Assamites must commit themselves to this acceptance by a mark of assurance placed upon them in the form of a thaumaturgical limitation. All members of the Assamites shall become unable to drink freely of the Vitae of another kindred from now unto forever. In addition the Assamites shall pay the Brujah Elders of spain two thousand pounds of gold, in ransom of the five Assamite elders captured committing diablerie. Also the Assamites may no longer participate in Blood hunts."

(Blah blah blah, not for me to comment.)

"BE IT KNOWN ALSO THAT THE ASSAMITES ARE GUARANTEED COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE FROM CAMARILLA DEMANDS. The Assamite fortress, Alamut, shall be free from any further assaults. Assamites are also granted, out of respect of their beliefs, the freedom to commit diablerie within their own clan without restraint and the right to commit diablerie upon all kindred not recognised as holding membership within the Camarilla."

(This is interesting, you can't force them to the table or make any extra demands on the clan Assamite without breeching the Convention, guess that stuffs up a few documents...)

"It is rendered that all parties involved AND ALL SHOWING ALLEIGENCE TO ANY OF THESE PARTIES shall be held responsible for all aspects of this convention brought forth here, in the neutral kingdom of England, outside the hamlet of Thorn, near the town of Silchester, May Cain hold truth and peace for us all."

(In other words, not those merely present at the right time and date, but all those who swear alleigence to any of those factions, be they Assamite, Anarch or Camarilla.)
