Convention of Fire

OOC: This is an In Character Document, approved for OWbN

“As we gather in these dark nights, enlightened by the fires of an enemy long forgotten, we find ourselves drawn into a loose alliance, whether temporary or on-going remains to be seen. In order to fight a common enemy that would spell doom for us all, we – the Kindred of the Camarilla, we- of the Anarchs and the Independent, – and we – the Cainites of the Sabbat, meeting under a common banner of Elysium in New Orleans in this Year of Fire, have agreed to the following terms and conditions in order to enter into a cessation of open and direct global hostilities. While we recognize the distinct possibility that there will be those within local domains, territories, and dioceses that will long have issues of a local nature; for the purposes of this common threat, the following terms remain in global standing until formally dissolved by those signatories or their duly appointed, elected, or chosen representatives.

Statement of Agreement:

We agree that the forces of the Infernal are an intolerable threat to our existence and will be considered our highest priority.

When in pursuit of this priority, the following will apply:

All parties agree that the infernal - generally represented in the form of the Carthaginians and the Baali bloodline - are a common, significant, and broad threat in recent nights. As such, all parties will seek the destruction of the infernal in the forefront of their dealings. Such threats will generally be addressed on a regional basis, by the leadership of the various Sects in the region. As all parties agree that Elysium is sacred, such will be used for discussions amongst the regional leadership, who will, in turn, have the discretion to arrange for mutual actions against the forces of the Pit.

Within the context of such local agreements to fight side-by-side against such enemies, the following guidelines are put forward:

• To avoid undue attention by mortals, the Masquerade and the Silence of Blood shall be kept, and
• All will honor - but not necessarily follow or practice - the laws and Traditions of the dominant society in a region where combat is to be joined, and
• Clan Nosferatu and their antitribu will be considered to have dominion over the underground, and
• There will be no active recruitment on either side, and
• Should there be a breakdown in local negotiations and the regional authorities still wish to continue discussions, impartial moderators will be available in the form of Cret or his designated representative.
