Mr. Mauser

At the gathering, I considered what to do about Mr. Mauser. Mr. Mauser clearly needs to learn more about our society, status, and prestation. A kindred of his status would not be welcomed by any other prince, and I doubt that he could ever gain acknowledgment in another city at this point. However, Mr. Mauser has not broken any of the traditions, and I will not banish nor bloodhunt him in my domain as long as he is willing to learn how to properly conduct himself.

I have made the following decision, if Mr. Mauser does not comply, he will no longer be welcomed in this domain. To learn the finer points of prestation, and prove to everyone here that he is willing to repay his debts, Mr. Mauser will owe to all kindred acknowledged at this time within Saint John a trivial boon. I ask that everyone call in this boon over the next year or two, so that Mr. Mauser may learn how prestation works. Remember to consult the Harpy, or assistant Harpy, when registering how the boon will be repaid.

Second, to learn how status is to be respected, Mr. Mauser will be 1 point bound to a group of kindred who are capable of instructing him for one year. The primogen council will select this group, and make their announcement shortly.

I have been given reason to reconsider my decree regarding Mr. Mauser. Fittingly, the reason I have reconsidered Mr. Mauser's fate is at the request of Mr. Kone, to whom I owe a blood boon. Please consider my previous decree null and void.

I am now setting an example for the kindred of this domain. Boons should be treated with respect, and debts repaid when called upon. If you refuse to pay your debts you will lose status. But most importantly, any kindred who hears of your failure will never again agree to offer help or support.

At times I rather enjoyed the wit of Mr. Mauser, and I will miss his company. I want you all to realize that this decision is a great sacrifice on my behalf, and it does truly signify the importance I place on repaying a boon.

In repayment to the blood boon I owe Mr. Kone, I am making this decree.

Mr. Mauser is no longer acknowledged within Saint John. I am giving him one week to leave this domain before I actively pursue his removal.
