Rules:
1. Respect is to be given to all within the family and to all of its dwellers.

2. Loyalty is a must. If someone within the family asks you for help, you are expected to help in any way you can. If you are unable, then ask someone in higher standing to help you out. Anything less will not be tolerated.

3. All mating is considered eternal. In the event a divorce occurs it is the mate not at fault that will decide the fate of the other. If it is a mutual divorce both can remain in the family as long as peace and respect for one another and the family remain. If that cannot be attained the fate of both will be a family vote with the council making final decision.  In the event of a divorce with chyldren it shall be the chyldes decision which parent shall have custody.

 4. Once embraced into the family all you were before will remain but in the castle you are solely a vamp. This is a VAMP REALM thus VAMPS reign SUPREME.

5. The law of death is as follows: if thee is killed here by councils word, you are dead and shall be that for eternity (The dead are allowed into any room connected to the castle as long as respect is shown)

6. The heirarchy (rank) will be observed within the family. If Queen  is not available, you will go to the next in charge or Council member for help. We are a family, and we do all we can to help each other. 

7. Disagreements or arguments within the family will be dealt with by Queen or the Council. They must not be allowed to grow until the family is torn apart. 

8. A vampire may earn years by the old practice of "counting coup", or by how many vampires you have brought into the family who have actually stayed. In this way, he/she may earn the right to move up in the chain of command. If you perform an honorable act to help the family, one of the elders may present their slashed wrists or necks for you to take some of their own essence into yourself, thus, gaining you 50 years. Will need to clarify on this...so this one is in question
