Armidale Requiem
The Armidale Court
(NOTE: This section will be removed once the game commences)
- Covenant members need to select their leaders. Leaders will owe 1 major and three minor boons to their covenant mates. If there is contention, players may bid for support. This reflects the politicking that took a character to get here. Leader MUST have status Covenant 3, Clan 1.
- Clans will need to select a Priscus, each of the Prisci will be owed a minor boon by each member (negotiable). Prisci MUST have status Covenant 1, Clan 3.
- Following the events of the set-up game territory will be re-allocated.
- The Covenant leaders will petition the Prince for territories (suburbs). Effectively buying them with services and/or boons.
- The Covenant leaders will distribute territories (suburbs) amongst their members... probably for the highest price they can wangle.
- Individual members (including Prisci) of court can petition the Prince for specific feeding areas. (Any locations paid for in haven points are exempt)
NOTE 2: Be sensible, every character needs access to some territory. Also Life boons CAN NOT be traded in this.

Status & Boons
Status is a monolithic political regime that all, no matter their personal station, status or desires is forced to abide by, it is also the mechanic for both privilege and accountability (IC and OOC). The higher your status, the more respect and influence you hold, but the higher standard you are held to. Remember that betrayal of the status group Clan/Covenant/City is always a level 1 sin IF YOU ARE CAUGHT.
At Creation You start with 4 points to split amongst your Clan and Covenant a 3/1 split shows where your priorities and loyalties lie, 2/2 means you are walking the tightrope between two masters.
City Status Will be assigned at creation for those starting at the commencement of the Chronicle. Late starters will begin at 0.
Alternate words or status are used in conjunction with certain positions.
- Unacknowledged \ Fair-Game, Patsy, Dead meat
O Acknowledged
OO Recognised
OOO Valued \ Feared(Scourge) Trusted(Sheriff) Knowledgeable(Harpy)
OOOO Respected \ Devoted(Seneschal/Sheriff)
OOOOO Admired \ Exalted(Prince)
These alternates reflect the nature of the kindred's standing in the court.
O Visitor (a properly introduced visitor given protection of the court)
OO Respected Visitor (a properly introduced visitor, of Respected status in their own region)
OOO Admired Visitor (a properly introduced visitor, of Admired status in their own region)

- December 2012 - All kindred of Armidale are called to serve. The location of the brood has been located and all are required to do their part in stamping out this infection. ((NOTE IC date is December 2012, actually this will be the MAY set-up game))
