The Laws of Haqim
The "Loyalist" Banu Haqim do not, as a clan, adhere to the Traditions of the of vampire society. Instead, they follow the commands of Haqim himself, the laws he set down for his childer. The original Enochian copies of the Laws still stand in Alamut and are the most important treasure of the clan. The Laws are universally held by all Banu Haqim regardless of Caste and faction or political orientation (except for the antitribu), although the interpretation varies. Many tenets of the Laws are also mirrored in the Path of Blood.
The Non traditional Clan Banu Haqim have split apart from the loyalist values and view haqim's laws as laws of a bygone era and have turned to modern religion for inspiration for the future of their clan. Gone are the days of juding over other clans, they seek power through blood and contracts with no concern as to the laws of their ancestors. this has caused a rift among the clan.
