[ This address was given on 2/5/2023 ] I thank you for attending.&nbsp;&nbsp; First, I wish to address matters in the world of the Kine :&nbsp; It has been a half year since the 'net as we know it crashed.&nbsp; The world has survived but we Kindred stand here knowing that the world is always changing.&nbsp; The Masquerade still stands, and as Prince, I shall see that it continues to do so.&nbsp; [&nbsp; June 3, 2022 :&nbsp; <a href="https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DataKrash" rel="nofollow">https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DataKrash</a> ]&nbsp; Second, I say to the Kindred of the city : We stand united against our common foes -- the Sabbat, the Kuei-Jin, even the Lupines should they see fit to attack us.&nbsp; &nbsp; I make this pledge to those Kindred whom are Independant : I will NOT force you to adhere to the laws of my court so long as the Masquerade is maintained.&nbsp; &nbsp; To the Anarchs I say this : I shall uphold the Convention of Thorns and recognize the areas you claim and register with me as Domain so long as the Masquerade is upheld.&nbsp;&nbsp; To the Camarilla Kindred, I offer these words : We must accord ourselves with honor and dignity.&nbsp; We shall uphold boons, agreements, treaties, and prestation.&nbsp; I say now my court and praxis shall be a place of honor and justice.&nbsp; Let us work together to insure all are united in our vision for a stable and secure stewardship of this city.&nbsp; Helen Matthews Clan Ventrue Prince of Night City Status : 5
