are the cunts in charge lol

the ultimate sin, for a vampire to consume another of their Kindred. Within the Covenant, it is punishable by death without exception, save for one particular case: the Sixth Revolutionary and current Lord of the Requiem, Liselotte. Many despise this hypocrisy. They say the woman is unfit to hold her own life, let alone the lives of a Clan, let alone the lives of the Covenant. Her grip, however, is notably loose- at least, when it comes to those with status. So long as it does not cross over into that sin of her own, there is little she will not permit. There is, therefore, somewhat of an incentive among those in power to keep Liselotte upon her throne of thorns; so long as she sits as Lord, they have free reign to do whatever they please.

That sin, however--as much as many would like to deny--most certainly has warped her mind. She was young, when the Revolution occurred: twenty-nine years since her birth, and only nine since her embrace. They say she was forced into the act, coerced by her fellow Revolutionaries to join them- not only to fight, but to consume the aftermath. Sometimes, she agrees with this account. Other times, she claims she acted of her own free will. Either way, her tale can not evade tragedy. To experience something like that, the ultimate forbidden fruit, before having a chance to experience any other immortal pleasures that came with her form, has changed her perspective accordingly. Vampiric life is dull, and the only way to bring light to it is to excuse--or partake in--the hedonistic cruelty that made the Requiem so infamous- perhaps that very same cruelty which sparked the Revolution in the first place.
