Lead: Milyenna (OOC)

The Council was created in 1865, as a direct response to the Blood Wars. When the war ended, a large number of vampires had perished, making Alexander Arvina see the need for something more.. prominent, a way to keep the vampires in check.
 

Alexander decided to create the Council this day, along with one member of each bloodline that was trusted by him, his primogen. The primogénito were the authority on law in the vampire world. One vampire from each bloodline, they would all vote in all things that would affect their race.
 

Each bloodline has a similar set up, a family that they create, and in turn, but with a prince that would represent the bloodline in the primogen.

The primogen form what is known as the inner circle. The Council will employ, depending on the size, one or many justicars to be the eyes and ears around the city for them per primogen. In turn, the justicar has many unseen henchmen and spies known as the archons, that will report to the justicar.

The Council's goal is to maintain the masquerade and safety of the vampire race. They maintain 5 basic rules in order to ensure this:

1. Don't place the vampire race in jeopardy. Acting in a form that could harm and tarnish the race will be dealt with accordingly by the Council.
2. A childe must be brought up to the council upon creation, where they will be tested to see if they will be an asset to the race, or a burden. If the childe threatens the safety of the vampire race, true death must be delivered.
3. A Sire is responsible for their childe.
4. Do not kill your food.
5. Do not feed from another vampire's doll or ghoul.
