The Creed

Overview
The Creed is a set of six laws that govern Vampire law. Though, every coven and domain may have different rules and laws depending on the coven, as a whole the six laws of The Creed are universal and everyone is expected to follow them. There are exceptions, an unaffiliated Vampire may be killed and a Coven simply won't care. But if an unaffiliated Vampire kills a Vampire of the Coven, they will care.

The Laws
I.) Humans should never learn of our presence as a race. Should they discover us, our race will be doomed and we will face extinction. 

II.) A Vampire shall never sire a child. To turn a child is a great offense. 

III.) A Vampire shall never feed upon their own. To do so results in such a corruption that we risk our very way of life.

IV.) A Vampire shall only be sired with the permission of the master of their coven.

 V.) A Vampire has responsibility for the actions of their fledgling until that fledgling is a fledgling no longer.

 VI.) A Vampire shall not kill another Vampire without the permission of the master of that Vampire's coven.
