Keeper of Elysium

This is a largely honorific title, though it has many practical responsibilities. The Keeper of Elysium assures that the customs of Elysium are observed, and is a caretaker of sites declared Elysium by a Prince.

The duties and privileges of the Keeper of Elysium begin and end in those hallowed halls. Once outside an area with Elysium status, the Keeper is just another Kindred. In fact, some large domains, or in domains where the Prince decentralizes the power of other Kindred of the court, each Elysium has its own separate Keeper. The ultimate result is the same: The Keeper of Elysium is both host and security in that august place, and she alone has the ability to remove transgressors against civility and personal safety.

Those who fall into this role — for few are those who actively seek to be custodians of hidden demesnes where vampires may revel in the Damned natures — have no common characteristics. Indeed, some Princes even use the title punitively, to teach recalcitrant or presumptuous vampires object lessons about the nature of the Kindred social contract.
