the black veil
the black veil is simply a code of ethics or a code of conduct for for the vampires.
it is guidelines that has been made for a number of sangs over years.an early version
was drafted by Father Sebastian Todd around in the 1990s in the vampire almanac
Michelle Belanger worked with Todd to come up with a draft of rules for the vampires
to follow. this is not my summary this if from Todd and Belanger whom i have permission to
put this veil on my gild.
" discretion
respect your self and present yourself so that others also respect you.take care of
revealing yourself by explaining what you are not to shock but as a way to inform and teach.
do not flaunt what you are and know what whether you want them to or not your actions will
reflect upon the rest of the community. share your nature with those with the wisdom to
understand and accept it, learn to recognize these people.
diversity
among us, there are many different practices and many points of view. no one of us has all
the answers to who and what we are. respect each person's choices and beliefs. learn about
them and share what you know, our diversity is our strength and we should not allow
misunderstanding to weaken our community.find the path that is right for you and up hold this
freedom for others.
control
do not allow your darkness to consume you. you are more than just your hunger and you can
exercise conscious control. do not be reckless. always act with a mind towards safety.never feed
because you think this makes you powerful, feed because this is what you must do.be true to
your nature but never use it as an excuse to endanger those around you
elders
give respect to those who have earned it. any one can claim a title, but a true leader will prove
him or herself though dedication, hard work, and great deeds. even so leaders should be guides
and not dictators. look to them as examples, but decide for your self what you must do.
respect the person not the position and understand that your choices are made by your own.
behavior
know that there are repercussions to every action, and that you alone are responsible for your
decisions.educate yourself about risky behaviors,and then always act with wisdom and common
sense. do not allow others to abuse you, but also do not selfishly abuse. respect the right of others
and treat then as you would be treated.
donors
feeding should occur between consenting adults. allow donors to make an informed decision before
they give themselves to you. do not take rapaciously from others, but seek to have an exchange that
is pleasant and beneficial for all.respect the life that you feed upon and do not abuse those who provide for you.
community
reach out to others in your community. exchange ideas, information, and support be hospitable to others,
and appreciate hospitality when it is extended to you do not engage in illegal activitys, for this can endanger
us all. seek to nurture our community and support all those who do the same " by f.s.todd and m.belanger
