I do not wish to bore the masses with long-winded detailed stories of little to no consequence. There is one event I wish to clarify, The Carnivale-
Reports of the event are missing a few important details. Mr. Castle’s report alludes to a shocking social display between Prince Luthias and the Greater Harpy Bellatrix Mangano. Ms. Mangano came bearing word that the Gangrel have been excluded from grand events in the Camarilla at large and after speaking with the Keeper Cecelia D’Amore found that our Prince wished them included. Regardless of discussion of that issue, the Camarilla's view of the Gangrel is not yet fully formed. The events of last year are far too fresh for our August Elders to have ruminated over all the implications of the Justicariat's actions. The more juicy issue is what happened when she talked to Prince Luthias about the situation.
The conversation went quickly from disagreement to argument. Prince Luthias defending his choice raised his voice stating that the Greater Harpy had no right to dictate who was invited to any event. Ms. Mangano responded that she wished no Gangrel to sit at “her table.” These words sent Prince Luthias into heated argument in the middle of the event. The common phrase used by Ms. Mangano was construed as her claiming the table as her own, Prince Luthias argued that she was attempting praxis by owning a simple table. He demanded Ms. Mangano leave the party or he would remove her, threatening her life.
The whole situation was quite ridiculous. Not heeding the words of Ms. Mangano who is of far greater station and not taking the conversation into a private space made the situation worse. If the Greater Harpy had been treated with the respect deserved and a spectacle avoided the result could have been far better.
The Prince returning to the party and putting on a “rally” speech that he would defend this domain from all outsiders who would come here and attempt to dictate policy. This may have rallied those less politically inclined, but for those who have deep roots within the Camarilla saw this as a turning point.
Luthias' devotion to the city would not replace a dearth of political acumen, clearly; his dextrous skill with a blade did not transfer to a grace with the churning tides of battle in the social arena.
There would have to be change.
