Domain Positions

Positions
Without Title, Rank, and Positions, no one would know their place in the world. Positions are the basic backbone to Kindred society, without which there would be no means of checking those that may expose, cause harm, or even death to other Kindred. Though there are various titles for each of the following positions, each job is the same. It should be also noted that not every city has filled all the position listed for numerous reasons.
Prince
A Prince is the undisputed Master of a given domain's Vampires. The Masters of some domains prefer different titles; if they are a member of the Lancea Sanctum they often prefer to be called Archbishop, for example. Some female Princes have chosen the title of Queen rather than Prince. The title serves to reinforce the neo-feudal nature of most Kindred society, and a Prince is served by a number of Officials who keep order in his Domain.
- The Prince of Sacramento is Asa Clarke
Seneschal
The Seneschal is considered the Prince's right hand by looking after the day-to-day operations of the domain, keeping track of the Prince's interest, schedule and appointments. In some cities the Seneschal is the most trusted confidante of the Prince.
- The Seneschal of Sacramento is Ariana Donovan
Herald
A Herald speaks on behalf of the Prince. Considered as the "mouthpiece" for a Prince, the Herald must ensure that all vampires hear the decrees of their liege. When the Herald speaks, their words are considered to be equivalent to the Prince speaking; while this might cause problems, most Heralds do not double cross the Prince. This position is usually absent in smaller cities. See Vampire: The Requiem Core Rulebook page(s) 34.
- The Herald of Sacramento is Martha Villiers
- Past: Ishani Naetesh
Primogen
A Primogen is an advisor to the Prince. Primogen sit on the advisory council and help direct the Prince as much is allowed with regards to policy, decrees, and concrens within the domain. This position and the council therefore differ from domain to domain. Some will hold casual meetings while others will follow a strict procedure for speaking. Some can be rather small, while other are much larger. A Primogen in mainly an elder in good standing within the community. Though, Primogen may represent their individual Clan or Covenant.

Priscus
A Priscus (or Priscii in plural) is the informal leader of a clan within a Domain. This position is generally not an official one in the Prince's governmental structure: a Priscus is not appointed by the Prince. Rather the position arises organically within the political power structure of a given clan. A certain elder gains power and prestige, gathers and bestows favors and has the power to enforce her edicts upon others of her clan. Other clan members give her respect and fear her enough such that she becomes clan leader both de facto and, for all intents, at least within the clan, de jure.

Whip
The Whip is as informal a position as the Priscus. She is responsible for "inspiring" her clanmates to present a united face on major issues and to make their voices heard on local issues, to make sure that the other clans take them seriously. See Vampire: The Requiem Core Rulebook page(s) 34.
Harpy
A Harpy is both an official and unofficial position. Official in that it is can be an assigned position appointed by the Prince, unofficial in that a Harpy can truly be anyone of a popular status. The Harpies set the fashion for the domain, as well as showing who is acceptable and who is not. A harpy is watched by many Kindred for the pulse of the Kindred community. See Vampire: The Requiem Core Rulebook page(s) 35.
- The Harpy of Sacramento is Alice Brown
Sheriff
The Sheriff enforces the laws of the Prince over a given domain. This includes but is not limited to investigating, interrogating, and concluding the laws which have been broken and deciding whether or not to bring the criminal before the Prince. The Sheriff cares out all sentencing handed down by the Prince. Sheriff's can differ from city to city; some are intelligent, others lack the ability to discover. Most feel they are doing what is best for Kindred society, while some just want the power over others. See Vampire: The Requiem Core Rulebook page(s) 35.
- Note: The Invictus term Reeve is used in Sacramento rather than Sheriff.
- The Reeve of Sacramento is Conner Greyson
Hound
The Hound is a Prince or Primogen's bodyguard. The Hound does as he or she is told in carrying out orders. Whereas the Sheriff's job is to investigate and bring before the Prince any wrongdoers, the Hound's job is to punish those who have done wrong in the eyes of their masters.
- The Hound of Sacramento is Twist
Master of Elysium
The Master of Elysium is in charge of keeping the Elysium maintained and ensuring safety for the Elysium. The Master of Elysium will work closely with a Sheriff or a Hound to maintain the violent aspects of others. In smaller populations the job of the Master of Elysium may be Seneschal or Herald, while in larger cities their might be multiple Elysiums with multiple Masters. The Master of Elysium is also sometimes known as the Keeper. See Vampire: The Requiem Core Rulebook page(s) 35.
