The Edict of Barbs

The Edict of Barbs' was issued on the final night of the Conclave of Portland (October 1999), by the three Justicars of the Americas (van der Voort of the Brujah, Mathias of the Toreador and Magestratum of the Tremere). It was brought about in response to several lines of debate argued by several leading Anarchs when engaged in debate with members of the Camarilla. This is the Justicars' answer to the Anarchs. The Words of Their Graces: "The Justicars uphold the Traditions above all things. The Second Tradition clearly states- 'Thy Domain is Thine own Concern. NONE may question thee in Thine Own Domain'. The Justicars are Judges of all; they recognize no 'Sect'. They are of the Camarilla as that is, in their opinion, the only Sect that does exist. If a Kindred places themselves in another 'Sect' it matters not to them; they shall enforce the sacred Traditions fully. It is clear that several 'Anarchs' hold territory and Domain over many lands; the Justicars recognize that while these Kindred do not use the language of the Camarilla and do not refer to themselves as Princes or claim to hold Praxis, this is what they do. So be it. The Justicars shall enforce the Second Tradition in regard to their lands. With this in mind the following judgment is made: Henceforth, no Camarilla Kindred may subvert by word or deed, action or propaganda any territory that belongs to those calling themselves 'Anarchs'. Any who do may be punished by the holders of that Domain within the criteria of the Second Tradition. This being said, no 'Anarch' may subvert by word or deed, action or propaganda any territory that is held in good standing and is claimed by any Kindred loyal to the Camarilla. Any who do may be punished by those holding Praxis of said Domain within the criteria of the Second Tradition."
