Blood Hunt

A place where the name or names of Kindred that have betrayed Vecna's sacred Vitae. Rarely used and one of the worst punishments to be handed down to a Kindred. Once the Prince or Primogen (Council of Elders) adds a Kindred name as Hunted to this list they are an enemy of Vecna, they are a priority enemy of Vecna.

Right is granted for all Kindred to find and destroy the Hunted by all means at their disposal, up to an including Diablerie. To aid a Hunted is to risk bringing banishment, true death or a Blood Hunt upon yourself. The Masquerade must still be maintained during a Blood Hunt.

The name or names would be handed down by the Prince or Primogen and recorded by the Keeper. It is not uncommon for the Scourge or the Sheriff to spearhead the courts official Blood Hunt efforts. It is rare for a Blood Hunt to last beyond sunrise of the first night.

A Kindred that is the target of a Blood Hunt reflects as a stain on Kindred Traditions, Sire, Clan and Covenants. This is slightly reduced if the Blood Hunt was a result of a Sire, Clan or Covenants recommendations.

While there are far less mentions in the Vampire the Requiem second edition core book regarding Blood Hunts there are still several in the Storytellers section. A better player description for the Blood Hunt may be found in Vampire the Requiem first edition, page 79.

A special thank you to Kummer Wolfe for his recent amazing Bounty Hunters Board reminding me of the Vampire Blood Hunt.
