Convention of Thorns - 1493
Bob - spends the entire Convention ranting to anyone within earshot that the clans who join with the Camarilla are letting their doom in by the front door. Some who still respect her give her words genuine consideration, others ignore her as a raving lunatic, but ultimately she is left behind as the Camarilla rises with Clan Malkavian as one of its founding pillars.
Frederick de Gorizia - Travelled to Thorns as an attache to his sire and became enraptured with the impassioned speeches extolling the benefits and virtues of the Camarilla. Frederick was convinced that their view was the safest path forward for all kindred and he joined the young sect on the spot, he then immediately set about trying to convert any kindred that would listen.
Tremere Bid for Tower Entry (Banu Haqim Blood Curse) - 1496

Conclaves
- Conclave of Turin - 2010
- In 2010, the Justicars of the Camarilla called for a Conclave to happen in Turin, Italy. Kindred from all over gathered to party and politic. At this conclave, the Imperator Karsh of Clan Gangrel was executed from crimes against the Camrilla. Diana Iadanza, “Bane of the Gangrel,” becomes the new Justicar of Clan Toreador. Caderyn Cathal helps provide Security Information and Intelligence reports for the Conclave before taking a seat as an Architect of the Tower. Notables in attendance included Luminary Elder Pythia, Elder Jahangir Al-Tanin, and Mertin Puttkamer.
- Conclave of Prague - 2012
- This VIP Event is not yet published by the office of the ANST Masquerade.
- Conclave of Halifax- 2013
- In 2013 the Justicars of the Camarilla called for a Conclave to take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Kindred from around the world gathered to party and politic. At this conclave, the Noiad declare themselves, they aim to make an alliance with the Camarilla. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal speaks in support of allowing the Noaid into the Camarilla, believing them to offer a valuable asset to the Tower. Swayed by Luminary Cathal's arguments and finding common ground in the distrust of technology, the Tower allows the bloodline acknowledgment. Vidal 'The Fox’ Jarbeaux of Clan Toreador is appointed the new Imperator of the Camarilla. The ‘Spymaster’ becomes the new voice of the Inner Circle.
- Conclave of Miami - 2014
- In 2014 the Justicars of the Camarilla called for a Conclave to take place in Miami, Florida. Kindred from around the world came to party and politic. At this Conclave, Molly MacDonald, a relatively unknown ancilla of Clan Nosferatu is named Justicar with the near-unanimous support of her Clan. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal is the first of the Nosferatu to publicly offer support for Justicar MacDonald and wishes her the best of luck in the representation of the Nosferatu to the Justicariate. Mertin Puttkamer is also seen congratulating Her Grace for her ascendence. O is kicked out of the Conclave for trying to badger Fatima al Faqadi into a duel. She politely declined 5 times. Hours later sporting a deep wound in his side he claimed to have fought her to a tie. This cannot be confirmed. This is when security asked him to leave. Elder Jahangir Al-Tanin was also spotted in attendance.
- Conclave of Havana - 2015
- In 2015 the Justicars of the Camarilla called for a Conclave to take place in Havana, Cuba. Kindred from across the globe came to party and politic. The Samedi Bloodline petition for acknowledgment within the Camarilla. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal pushes heavily to sway others to accept the Samedi to the Camarilla, citing the value that the addition of Necromancy could provide in defense against the Independent Alliance if they utilize the dead to spy upon the Tower. The Luminary's arguments only seem to sway more kindred against the acknowledgment of the Necromancers and the Samedi petition is denied. Unsurprising to Elder Jahangir Al-Tanin, who was also in attendance, Fatima al Faqadi of the Banu Haqim is placed in charge of the Josian Archons by Justicar Tegyrius.
- Conclave of Abuja - 2018
- In 2018 the Justicars of the Camarilla called for a Conclave to take place in Abuja, Nigeria. Kindred from across the globe came to party and politic. The True Brujah and the Carpathians petition for Acknowledgement within the Ivory Tower. Voivode Andrei Hermannstadt was the leader of the Carpathian delegation that attended the conclave. He made the case for the Carpathians to join the Camarilla and represented the Elders of his clan in the matter. Mary Petersen attended on her own agenda as well as to represent Luminary Elder Alaric of Gaul, who could not attend. She had collaborated with Elder Aranea Wilde of the True Brujah on the wording of the proposition for the True Brujah to join the Ivory Tower, and spoke briefly during the debate in favor of the motion. By the end of the Conclave, both the True Brujah and Carpathians become official members of the Camarilla. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal is present and welcomes friends known for years amongst both Clans into the Camarilla.
- A new Red List is announced at the end of the Conclave. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal ensures this information is widely distributed amongst those acknowledged within the Ivory Tower. The I.A. Ministry Luminary known as Dom Piet was an easily forgotten "foreign dignitary" in the crowd to most. The leaders involved in the Camarilla's expansion, particularly the clan leaders, received his private congratulations on their success in finding common ground and safety. Revinaka Dubrois largely kept to herself and watched the political maneuvering around them. She is also known to have quietly assisted Security with information about the Shadowlands. Elder Jahangir Al-Tanin is also in attendance.
- Conclave of Paris - 2019
- In 2019 the Justicars of the Camarilla call for a Conclave to take place in Paris, France. Kindred from around the world come to party and politic. Clan Malkavian puts forward a motion for the members of the Kiyasid to be acknowledged within the Tower and immediately granted recognition as a Pillar Clan. O was quietly asked to leave the conclave after the security team was informed that he claimed to have been spying on the Auras of attendees, including the aura of Victoria Ash. Luminary Elder Caderyn Cathal disseminates known information on the Kiasyd to a select few. He claims the Kiyasid are a bloodline of the Lasombra, and expresses distrust in the Malkavians who pushed the 'Pillar Clan Prank'. By the end of the Conclave, many are unsure if the Kiyasid are real, and the petition fails. Luminary Elder Brighid d'Caleti, Luminary Elder Pythia, Elder Jahangir Al-Tanin, Charles Hakstege and Mertin Puttkamer were amongst the notables present at the Conclave. Revinaka Dubrois largely kept to herself and watched the political maneuvering around them. She is also known to have quietly assisted Security with information about the Shadowlands. Christian Whitechapel, then Seneschal of Boston, provided significant influences and resources to the Archons and security team in order to help lock down and make safe the site of Conclave.
