As a spiritual and cultural leader of the Coquille Nightbreed, Cassiel has established a set of rules to govern his sanctuary. Cassiel does not demand worship, deference, or even fealty from those that seek asylum in his sanctum, but does ask they follow a set of tenets set forth for the good of the Tribes of the Moon. These tenets were inscribed upon great mystical stones, said to be pulled from the Tabernacle of Midian itself! These text upon these stones is presented below. By being a member of the Undercroft, your Nightbreed has fully agreed with these laws and follows them unconditionally. Those that do not follow them will be exiled from the Undercroft and ostracized, with the most grossest of offenses earning the perpetrator imprisonment as a Beserker or a death sentence.
The Covenant Stones
Stone Primus: Protect your brother and sister from harm as they will protect you.
Stone Secundus: Never reveal your existence, your brother and sister's existence, or the location of Sanctuary to a Natural.
Stone Tertius: Never hunt, kill, or imbibe the flesh of a Natural.
Stone Quartus: Use your unique abilities sparingly as they may call others that sense those forms of manipulation.
Stone Quintus: Protect Baphomet so that he may be remade and unite the Nightbreed once more.
Stone Sextus: Watch for Cabal for he will heal the remnants of Baphomet and lend him whatever succor and aid he requires.
Stone Septimus: Follow the directives of those in a higher station as appropriate.
Further, in order to keep the Undercroft running and to provide the Nightbreed with sustenance and shelter, Cassiel has developed a system for assigning temporary chores for the Nightbreed. For those individuals possessing the specific knowledge and ability to perform a unique or highly technical job are permanently assigned to that occupation.
Jobs that do not require special training or knowledge are delegated to the citizens of the Undercroft. These jobs including cleaning, light maintenance, tending the hydroponic farms, cooking, washing clothes, and other general chores. Regardless of what they are assigned, a Nightbreed is expected to complete his or her chore efficiently and correctly. If one cog is out of place, the machine will fall apart and that spells extinction for the Nightbreed!
