To the Primogen Council and Kindred of St. Ardent,

This is not a courtesy. This is a reminder.

Recent nights have made one thing abundantly clear. Discipline has begun to slip, and where discipline fails, the Masquerade follows.

We will begin with your ghouls.

Domitors are responsible for the conduct, knowledge, and limitations of those they bind. A ghoul is not a confidant. They are not your equal. They are an extension of your will, and if that will is poorly managed, they become a liability.

Be mindful of what you share. Information spreads faster through the living than it ever will through the dead. If your ghoul knows more than they should, that failure rests with you.

Now, the museum.

The breach at the St. Ardent Science Museum has already required intervention. The Masquerade was strained. Not broken, but strained. That distinction matters.

The Nosferatu have been engaged to assist in containment and cleanup efforts. They are doing what they do best. Quietly. Efficiently. Without recognition.

I suggest that effort not be wasted.

There are individuals moving through this city who do not answer to the Camarilla. Whether they are opportunists, outsiders, or something worse remains to be seen. What matters is this.

Be mindful of your feeding.

Restricted zones remain restricted. Violations will not be tolerated simply because tensions are high. If anything, they will be treated more severely.

And do not hunt alone.

These are not nights for arrogance.

There have also been reports of structural damage across multiple havens following the recent tremors. If your haven has been compromised, you may petition the court for temporary relocation or access to secured safe houses.

Use them.

A destroyed haven is an invitation.

Lastly, preparation.

Opportunities for combat training are being arranged through a local gym within St. Ardent. Details will follow. Attendance is not mandatory.

But it is noted.

You would be wise to remember that survival is not granted by title or status. It is earned through readiness.

Maintain control. Maintain awareness. Maintain the Masquerade.

Or I will do it for you.
