The
Tremere Code
I,
______, hereby swear my everlasting loyalty to House and Clan Tremere
and all its members. I am of their blood and they are of mine. We
share our lives, our goals, and our achievements.I shall obey those
the House sees fit to name my superiors, and treat my inferiors
with all the respect and care they earn for themselves.
I will not deprive nor attempt to deprive any member of House and
Clan Tremere of his magical power. To do so would be to act against
the strength of our House. I will not slay nor attempt to slay any
member of House and Clan except in self-defense, or when a Tremere
has been ruled outlaw by a properly constituted tribunal. If a magus
has been ruled an outlaw, I shall bend all efforts to bring danger
to the clan.
I will abide by all decisions of the tribunals, and respectfully
honor the wishes of the Inner Council of Seven and the wishes of
my superiors. The tribunals shall be bound by the spirit of the
Code of Tremere, as supplemented by the Peripheral Code and interpreted
by a properly constituted body of magi. I have the right to appeal
a decision to a higher tribunal, if they should agree to hear my
case.
I
will not endanger House and Clan Tremere through any actions. Nor
will I interfere with the affairs of mundanes in any way that brings
ruin upon my House and Clan. I will not, when dealing with devils,
or others, in any way bring danger to the clan, nor will I disturb
the faeries in any way that should cause them to take their vengeance
on House and Clan. I also swear to uphold the values and goals of
the Camarilla, and I will maintain the Masquerade. Insofar as these
goals may conflict with my goals, I will not pursue my own ends
in any way that would endanger the Masquerade. The strength of House
and Clan Tremere depends on the strength of the Masquerade.
I
will not use magic to scry upon members of the House and Clan Tremere,
nor shall I use it to peer into their affairs. It is expressly forbidden.
I
will train only apprentices who will swear to this code, and should
any of them turn against House and Clan, I shall be the first to
strike them down and bring them to justice. No apprentice of mine
shall be called magus until he first swears to uphold this code.
I shall treat my apprentice with the care and respect that they
earn.
I
concede to my elders the right to take my apprentice should it be
found that my apprentice is valuable to an elder's work. All are
members of the House and Clan and valuable first to these precepts.
I shall abide by the right of my superiors to make such decisions.
I shall further the knowledge of the House and Clan and share with
its members all that I find in the search for wisdom and power.
No secrets are to be kept, or given, regarding the arts of magic,
nor shall I keep secret the doings of others which might bring harm
to the House and Clan.
I demand that, should I break this oath, I should be cast out of
the House and Clan. If I am cast out, I ask my brothers to find
and slay me that my life not continue in degradation and infamy.
I
recognize that the enemies of House and Clan are my enemies, that
the friends of House and Clan are my friends, that the allies of
House and Clan are my allies. Let us work as one and grow hale and
strong.
I
hereby swear this oath on (current date). Woe to they who try to
tempt me to break this oath, and woe to me if I succumb to such
