V20 - Código Do Clã Tremere
I, [initiate’s name], hereby swear my everlasting loyalty to House and Clan Tremere and all
its members. I am of their blood, and they are of mine. We share our lives, our goals, and our
achievements. I shall obey those the House sees fit to name my superiors, and treat my inferiors
with all the respect and care they earn for themselves.
I will not deprive nor attempt to deprive any member of House and Clan Tremere of his magical
power. To do so would be to act against the strength of our House. I will not slay nor attempt to
slay any member of the House and Clan except in self-defense, or when a magus has been ruled
outlaw by a properly constituted tribunal. If a magus has been ruled an outlaw, I shall bend all
efforts to bring such magus to justice.
I will abide by all decisions of the tribunals, and respectfully honor the wishes of the Inner
Council of Seven and the wishes of my superiors. The tribunals shall be bound by the spirit of
the Code of Tremere, as supplemented by the Peripheral Code and interpreted by a properly
constituted body of magi. I have the right to appeal a decision to a higher tribunal, if they
should agree to hear my case.
I will not endanger House and Clan Tremere through my actions. Nor will I interfere with
the affairs of mundanes in any way that brings ruin upon my House and Clan. I will not, when
dealing with devils or others, in any way bring danger to the Clan, nor will I disturb the faeries
in any way that should cause them to take vengeance on the House and Clan. I also swear to
uphold the values and goals of the Camarilla, and I will maintain the Masquerade. Insofar as
these goals may conflict with my goals, I will not pursue my own ends in any way that would
endanger the Masquerade. The strength of the House and Clan Tremere depends on the
strength of the Masquerade.
I will not use magic to scry upon members of the House and Clan Tremere, nor shall I use it to
peer into their affairs. It is expressly forbidden.
I will train only apprentices who will swear to this code, and should any of them turn against
the House and Clan, I shall be the first to strike them down and bring them to justice. No
apprentice of mine shall be called magus until he first swears to uphold the code. I shall treat my
apprentices with the care and respect that they earn.
I concede to my elders the right to take my apprentice should it be found that my apprentice is
valuable to an elder’s work. All are members of the House and Clan and valuable first to these
precepts. I shall abide by the right of my superiors to make such decisions.
I shall further the knowledge of the House and Clan and share with its members all that I find
in my search for wisdom and power. No secrets are to be kept or given regarding the arts of
magic, nor shall I keep secret the doings of others who might bring harm to the House and Clan.
I demand that, should I break this oath, I should be cast out of the House and Clan. If I am
cast out, I ask my brothers to find and slay me that my life may not continue in degradation and
infamy.
I recognize that the enemies of the House and Clan are my enemies, that the friends of the
House and Clan are my friends, and that the allies of the House and Clan are my allies. Let us
work as one and grow hale and strong.
I hereby swear this oath on [current date]. Woe to they who try to tempt me to break this oath,
and woe to me if I succumb to such temptation.
