This was my first world almanac. It's so used that the binding has nice thick scars on it from all the bending and the pages are curling back.
Lest important roots be forgotten as some would prefer , I have included it below for historical purposes, for reference, and so that it can be compared to subsequent versions. In the few short years since the Black Veil was first written, its evolution reflects the evolution of the Vampyre lifestyle and subculture as well as the vampire roleplayers community into something more than mere roleplaying.
With the efforts of Father Sebastiaan and a number of other like-minded individuals with a vision in the New York City "Gotham" area, the Sanguinarium was formed and the Black Veil became more than a mere set of guidelines for vampire-pretenders to interact with each other. This early version was presented to the then-forming real vampire community which had some overlap with the vampyre lifestyle community, and still does today , but was met largely with criticism and rejection because of its rather roleplay-like concepts and language.
Also, there was concerns of plagiarism. Michelle Belanger rewrote it in version 2. Sanguinarius helped present the improved version to the vampire community as "The 13 Rules of the Community", and it was recieved much better than the first, although there were still those who rejected it.
It is based on common sense and a collected from years of experience. Many Societies and Households have their own versions of this mixture of philosophy and ethics. It is the job of a sire to teach the Black Veil to their childe as part of them becoming Calmae. Treat others with respect and consideration at all times. Get to know them as you would in any other social situation. It is disgraceful for an individual to represent the scene to any media organization that would exploit and take advantage of the scene.
In addition exhibit any behavior which might threaten the community as a whole, such as attracting negative media exposure or the interest of fundamentalist religious groups. However, formatting rules can vary widely between applications and fields of interest or study.
