The Code Of Milan: Sabbat Laws and Justice

"He felt no remorse for what he'd done--and this frightened him.

He was free; this, too, frightened him.
So he savored his fear ...
...and rejoiced in the night."
--J.M. DeMatteis, Blood: A Tale.

By the solemn word of Regent Gorchist, this is the one true Code Of Milan, revised from the original manuscript this night, December 21, 1933. Out of the ashes of our great war may this peace reign everlasting. An oath of allegiance has been sworn by the Regent and the Prisci in the presence of all faction leaders and 50 other witnesses to faithfully follow all regulations imposed by this code in leading the Sabbat. This revised Code Of Milan is agreed upon by all Sabbat factions. All other factions must pledge themselves in support of this revised Code Of Milan or claim seperation from the Sabbat.

These are the Statutes comprising the Code Of Milan:

: I. The Sabbat shall remain united in its support of the Sect's Regent. If necessary, a new Regent shall be elected. The Regent shall support relief from tyranny, granting all Sabbat freedom.

II. All Sabbat shall do their best to serve their leaders as long as their leaders serve the will of the Regent.

III. All Sabbat shall faithfully observe all the Auctoritas Ritae.

IV. All Sabbat shall keep their word of honor to one another.

V. All Sabbat shall treat their peers fairly and equally, upholding strength and unity of the Sabbat. If necessary they shall provide for the needs of their Brethren.

VI. All Sabbat must put the good of the Sect before their own personal needs, despite all costs.

VII. Those who are not honorable under this code will be considered less than equal and therefore unworthy of assistance.

VIII. As it has always been, so it shall always be.

IX. All Sabbat shall protect one another from the enemies of the Sect. Personal enemies shall remain a personal responsibility, unless they undermine the Sect's security.

X. All Sect members shall protect Sabbat territory from all other powers.

XI. The spirit of freedom shall be the fundamental principle of this Sect. All Sabbat shallexpect and demand freedom from their leaders.

XII. The Rights of Monomacy shall be used to settle disputes among all Sabbat.

XIII. All Sabbat shall support the Black Hand.
