The final destruction of a clansman at the hands of the Prince.
The largest price one can pay for being sloppy or was it ill trained? Yes, I believe that was it, ill trained! Sloppy was the instructor, but I do not recall having seen him nor his sire ever being in the training halls of the Mountain, but then again, I taught only a few courses and their names were never spoken of during the conclaves (at least out loud).
One less Child of Haqim for the rest of the Camarilla to be wary of or so they would think.
One would think that would be the end if it... somehow, I have a deep belief that this is just the beginning, at least for the newest Primogen of the Emerald Domain.
Primogen... something about that title leaves a bad taste in the mouth, no, gives a bad taste, for now the Children have another seat in another court of the Camarilla.
Recognition as a Clan under the Camarilla, that was the contract I undertook, but the task has not yet been completed.
The right to have Domain came with that recognition and that would be no small task, the domain already had well defined boundaries and prying even the smallest of territory from one of the other clans domains, so entrenched, would be next to impossible. But alas, this subtask is now fully on it way to fruition. The City of Kent and the lands of the Muckelshoot Tribe was negotiated for with the Nosferatu and then gifted by the Prince. This meant that the Clan Domain would actually be split into different areas near each other, but they would still be separate, but more was offered and in time the territory between will be assimilated into the Clan Domain.
Status, of all the subtasks that go with the contract Status will be the most difficult, the Children are shunned, hated and mostly feared by most of the clans, but the Camarilla places so much in Status that it will not do to just be a part of the court, the Children must have Status. Not just feared, but feared and revered.
The Harpy (more like Vulture, feeding from the fortune or misfortune of other Kindred) informs me that soon there will be a new Justicar for our clan, another voice that has been long silent within the courts of the Camarilla. I just wish that the lines of communication weren't in such disarray, for reports must be given and already there is much to tell.
These are just the needs of the Children of Haqim within the Emerald Domain as a Clan, but then the Primogen also has to deal with the individual needs of the clansmen.
Why would the Tremere refuse to return a musical instrument of no mystical value especially after contracting to investigate if it had some to begin with? The agreement was to return it, when the investigation was completed or could go no further. Haven't the Tremere learned that the Children of Haqim complete their contracts to the fullest degree (such is the fate that their curse left us), especially when one the Children "IS" the contractor. Another lesson to be taught shall have to be arranged. For this all parties will pay, contracted and contractor.
Whisper, I have no doubt that if he hears of the destruction of one of his childer that he will foolishly attempt to return to learn more, but yet I anticipate that move and relish the thought of asking him some very pointed questions. For it was both his childer that was involved in the transgression that lead the Prince to destroy his childer.
Nagagawa informs me that he has received a contract that will take him from the domain for an extended period of time, this leaves me to assign a replacement as Whip and there are few of our clan present within the Domain as it is and none of those will stomach the taught of being present in Camarilla Court. Patients and persistence are traits taught to me very early and eventually I may find a replacement amongst our ranks.
It is being present in the Court itself that poses the largest concern of the varied tasks set before me and I am torn as to how I should approach this task. Most of the other Primogen are renown here in this domain and some of them in other domains as well. Having spent most of my existence instructing in the Mountain, I am personally neither renown nor feared, they have no clue as to who or what I am, other then clan, and most think that I have been in the city for just a month, others do not even know that. Ahh, but this too can be used as a tool, just as the court itself can be or at least this has been demonstrated or at least attempted to demonstrate.
I have been fortunate to gain some allies here, but I am hesitant to utilize them, for the hidden weapon is usually the deadliest and if used proficiently they may remain concealed from all but the victim and may prove useful numerous times.
