The prince can remove one premanent status from someone at a cost of one temporary status per trait removed.

The Prince can grant Permanent status to any kindred at a cost of one temporary status for each trait granted. The Prince may also break the rule of only gaining one status trait per story, allowing a character to gain more than one. If the prince wishes to confer more than three status upon an individual in a single session it will cost the Prince one permanent status for each trait given above the third. It does not cost the prince any status to grant acknowledged, all the prince must do is simply recognise the characters presence in the city.

The prince may mete out punishments for any breaking of the traditions without loss of temporary or permanent status.

The Seneschal acts in the princes stead when the Prince is away. When the prince is not present the Seneschal posses all of the powers of the Prince except that they do not apply to the prince. At any other time the desicions of the Seneschal may be overuled by the prince.

Primogen:The Primogen are the leaders of thier clan in the city. This generally falls upon the eldest member of the clan but often goes to the most wothy or powerful member of the clan. In some cases they may be the only member of thier clan in the city.

Sherrif: The Sherrif gains the additional status trait feared. While the position is held the trait cannot be lost permantly

The Powers of Sherrif:The Sherrif may demand that any kindred within the city accompany him for questioning and or judgement. Failure to do so causes the offender to lose one permanent status trait. In some cities the princes has made the Sherrif judge, jury and excecutioner in cases of a Masquerade breech.
