History
Prince's Edicts

Masquerade – Prince Hollinger like his predecessor Prince Braun has maintained that any breach of this tradition which goes unreported are grounds for immediate death. Should a Kindred come forward before the court, taking the issue to their Covenant Leader, leniency is to be given to the offender. Often debts are transferred among those involved in covering up the breach.

Amaranth – Under Prince Braun diablerie was punishable in all instances with death. Under Prince Hollinger diablerie has become an accepted method of punishment for the crime of destruction. In all matters Prince Hollinger has reserved the right of destruction for himself, any found guilty of such a crime are immediately blood hunted, and the offender’s blood becomes the prize for any willing to hunt them. Those who accept and fulfill the blood hunt are required to bring some proof of their success back to the court.

Later in the year 1813, after Fort York was sacked, and Armand Winters disappeared to the South, Prince Braun made the following announcement:

In this place that we build to become our new homes far from the soil of our homelands, the community must be protected and encourage to over come difficulties by word and not the stroke of a sword. To this end the grounds of the Winters Elysium are to be considered by all Kindred of this domain as sacrosanct. Kindred and their retinues are forbidden to carry weapons within the confines of Elysium. Should the Master of Elysium discover that a Kindred has dared ignore this edict, the Master of Elysium is fully within their rights to punish the transgressor as they see fit. This includes the right to have the offender killed for violation of this trust.

While Prince Hollinger has not openly approved of this edict, his silence has been seen construed by the court as acceptance on this matter, though rumors circulate that the Prince had attempted with the old Master of Elysium, Kathrine Querry, to permit the officers of his court the privilege of carry weapons in attendance of Elysium.

Progeny – Due to the trial of Justin Fairfax the court now enjoys the understanding that all matters regarding the creation of childer within the domain of Toronto is to be brought before Prince Jameson who will sanction or refuse the request. She maintains that this is her right as the Prince and requires all members of the domain to adhere to this law. Punishment for violation of this crime could result in the offending vampire’s death. Under Prince Hollinger the trial has illustrated that matters of progeny were largely left in the hands of the covenant leaders – that is if the ramblings of the deranged Anastasia Marek, as understood by Justin’s own understanding of the circumstances surrounding his embrace and the tacit permission he believed given him by her before she was beaten into torpor, are to be believed.
