Clan Structure
Apprentice: They are the lowest blocks in
the structure. A newly made vampire is initiated into
the clan by being forced to drink the blood of the elders
mixed with a tincture suposedly made from the mixed blood
of the Inner Councilors and Tremere himself. They are
bound to follow the dictates of their Regent. The
apprentice rank is divided in seven levels call the
Seven Circles of Mysteries. The apprentice must be
gradually initated through each of the seven circles
before he is considered worthy of possible promotion to
Regent. As they progress they gain more infulence and
freedom. First circle neonates are required to meet
with their elder once a week when the Chantry holds it's
convocation. Seventh level apprentices are nominally
independent.
Regent: Regents rule individual chantries.
They are responsible for the activities of all apprintices
dwelling within a certain area of the chantry.They are required
to formally meet with their Lords, at the Lords chantry,
once a year.
Lord:A Regent who has attained seventh level
is eligible for the rank of Lord. A Lord usually commands
a number of chantries and is responsible for the actions
of all Tremere within this area, called a Realm. Although
they are frequently in contact with their Pontifex
masters, every three years they are required to meet with
them formally at the Pontifex's chantry.
Pontifex:Forty-nine Tremere vampires hold
this title. Each is responsible for a vast geographical territory
or concerned with the monitoring and manipulation of a
certain segment of government, industry, religion, or
another sphere of influence. Their areas responsibility
are called Orders. There are seven Pontifices in North
America. Five are responsible for large geographic territories,
and of the remaining two, one is held accountable for
political concerns, while the other affects business and
commerce. Pontifices are required to travel to the
chantry of their Councilor once every seven years to
pay formal obeisance and discuss future plans.
Councilor:The Inner Council of Seven is
made up of some of Tremere's oldest followers. Among them
are some of the first magi to become vampires. Each
Councilor is responsible for a vast geographic area,
often an entire continent, including all commerce and politics
within the region. Supposedly, they are in constant
telepathic contact with one another, but the truth is
unkown. The Inner Council meets formally once every
ten years. The location is always the ancient Tremere
chantry of Etrius in Vienna, Austria.
Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy
Clan Weakness:< At Embrace they must drink the blood of the
