Declaration of a Reeve

[Storyteller]

Cainites of the Principality of Gaul;

It is with great honour that I Didaskalos name Gunner Voldemon as the Reeve of Gaul.

As such I expend my Enthroned status to legally dissolve his current Blood Oaths to the Duchy of Laibach and have issued him direct Blood Oath to myself.

Loki Runetounge shall now only serve the Principality of Gaul as my Huntsman.

Gunner Voldemon has proven his ability as he single handedly captured the criminal known as Archer Driscoll and by taking the criminal alive has allowed information once obfuscated to be gleaned. In addition to the position of Reeve I expend a Gallant in place of my Regal to grant him the fleeting status "Defender".

From this day forward any who interfere with the Reeve's investigations or tamper with his wellbeing shall answer to me.

This also shines a positive light on the Duchy of Laibach in my eye for fostering and growing the ability of such a capable Cainite the other Duchies should take note.

Status of the Reeve

Judicial – Abiding Reeve
Passive:
- You may name up to one deputy per 10 Kindred in the territory you control (they may each come from any source within the territory assigned to you – including a free state). They gain the fleeting Status Deputized while so named (you may remove this at any time or change who your deputies are).
- Call upon forces a Duke controls to enforce the will of the Ard Ri
- If you deem someone to have broken the Ard Ri's Laws or one of the Traditions you can issue Judgment on them and name them Malefactor. In addition to the typical censure of Malefactor you may issue additional conditions and restrictions. Anyone found breaching the censures/conditions of Malefactor automatically become Forsaken.
- While you possess Judicial, you can issue orders to any member in your territories who does not possess the status Regal or Affirmed in pursuance to prosecute/enforce a Law or Judgment and expect to have those orders obeyed (even those who hold Regal will usually follow your order to some degree). Those who defy you or disobey a direct order have all fleeting status traits they possess expended without effect. If they have no fleeting Status remaining or continue defiance then all Abiding and Innate Status are the considered spent. If they have no remaining status you can name them Warned at no cost. Fleeting traits or Innate/Abiding status lost in this manner are lost temporarily and return at the end of next game. Your target cannot gain any further fleeting status while under this effect.
- You may call and chair a meeting of the Duke's and Doge's on the Ard Ri's behalf. Only your agenda is to be discussed and resolved. Attempts to avoid discussing and resolving this topic cause the individual to automatically be declared Warned. Only the expenditure of three Regal's and/or Empowered's can remove a item from the agenda or force the meeting to be postponed until next gather.
- May break the Ard Ri's rules or the Traditions in service to the Ard Ri (if they do so they will be held accountable by the Ard Ri and possibly the Chamberlain)
- You are immune to the passive and spent effects of the status Discerning.

Spent:
- Expend Judicial to cancel any Bloodhunt (or downgrade Forsaken to Disgraced, Warned or to nothing) in the Ard Ri's Domain. (minimum Blood if forced to counter for one domain, two blood for all domains. This is an exception to Bloodhunted individuals using or paying a boon).
- Expend Judicial to award any individual the fleeting status Sanctioned (equivalent minimum of a Blood Boon if forced)
- You can expend Judicial to award an individual the fleeting status Veteran or Resolute, or the negative status Cowardly or Disgraced
- You can expend the Judicial status in order to command someone who is Sworn or Pledged directly or indirectly to the Ard Ri to expend a status on your behalf, give you a piece of equipment she possesses, or utilize her powers as you direct, so long as that order does not cause them to break one of the Ard Ri's Laws. If they refuses to do so, she gains the status Warned. Individuals holding the Discerning status are immune to this effect.

Regal – Abiding Duke, Reeve, Ard Ri
Passive:
- While you possess Sovereign status, you control the praxis of a domain. You are expected to host gatherings in you Dukedom in rotation as determined by the Ard Ri.
- You may not be called a Liar by anyone who does not possess Regal, Affirmed or who expends their Titled or Enlightened status (or expenditure of two Sworn).Those who do receive the negative status Warned.
- You may call a meeting of Duke's and “mark” one item on the agenda that must be discussed and resolved. Attempts to avoid discussing and resolving this topic cause the individual to automatically be declared Vulgar (without using spent bonuses).
- An individual who openly insults, threatens, or attacks you automatically receives the negative status Warned. Offences made entirely in private, or which are subtle enough to be obscured, do not trigger this passive effect. Characters that currently possess the Regal or Affirmed status traits are immune to this passive effect.

Spent:
- Expend this status to swear up to two new Baron's to your service and bestow Sworn and Titled on them.
- Expend Regal to award fleeting status to up to three characters, with either Defender or Enlightened (equivalent minimum of a Major Boon per individual if forced)
- Expend Regal to award any individual the fleeting status Sanctioned (equivalent minimum of a Blood Boon if forced)
- Expend Regal to punish or pardon another character, giving or removing the negative status Warned or Forsaken (equivalent minimum of a Major Boon if forced)
- Expend Regal to table a “marked” item until next gather/meeting without being declared Vulgar. Doing this to many times may bring the wrath of the Harpy upon you. This may be countered by the expenditure of two Regal's (All spent actions cause Regal to be spent, it does not come back even if the action was countered).
- Expenditure of three Regal's is enough to remove a Harpy from office (though the Ard Ri could grant them the position back between games or anytime after) or force a decision onto the Ard Ri (ie. bloodhunt an individual in all domains).

Status of a Deputy

Deputized – Abiding Deputy to Reeve
Passive:
- Once per combat you gain a free Willpower retest when challenging to avoid any effect that would force you to leave combat.

Spent:
- You can expend Deputized to call five lvl 2 stock NPC's, three lvl 3 NPC's or 1 lvl 4 NPC (Thugs or Trackers) to serve you for 1 hr. They will arrive in 5-10 minutes and will fight and die for you.
