Leondros, Mathis (originally, not currently), and Ottovan.
Government
Church of Twilight Cabal
- Vanite is the deity of the Ebonmire theocracy and the Church of the Twilight Cabal follows the teaching and tenants of their religion. Even today they follow the same rules and laws of the church, as its laws are Vanite's laws, and such require no alterations. (Source: Ottovan Audio Part 4)
- Ex-communication is nearly unheard of for the chosen vampire, and they believe that executing those against the church would make that vampire a martyr. (Source: Ottovan Audio Part 4)
- Aspiring followers carry out duties both in life and unlife. (Source: [OG] Adair Audio Part 1)
- "Most [vampires are members of the Church]. Vampirism is very much a religious thing in the Cabal. So a majority [of] vampires that exist are members of the Church, but there are as many that exist outside of it for various reasons." (Source: Discord)
- "The Twilight Cabal often moves quite slowly in political matters, and in Ottovan's case him being isolated for 50 years was a punishment before the actual trial. Ottovan had upset some powerful people." (Source: Discord)
- The First Voidlords of the Primera Cannon wrote the words of Vanite into the scripture. "Undeniable truths that will bend the very blessed vitae bestowed upon them by Vanite themselves." The words are the will of Vanite upon the mortal plane, which those who have not been chosen by Vanite "must strive to do their work." This is their history and considered as their entire purpose for being. (Source: Ottovan Backstory Audio)
- Aspirants and chosen of all kinds gather in mass in the grand halls, sitting together, packed tightly - shoulder to shoulder as they prayed, one continuous silent chain of faith. (Source: Ottovan Audio Part 9)
- If one used the opportunity of silent prayer to doze off and take a nap, it would be a bit of a scandal. (Source: Ottovan Audio Part 9)
Heresy
- While charges of heresy are rare, it has happened before. It was more common when the faith was younger, in the time of the Primera Cannon. In time, the church came up with many ways to test one's faith. (Source: Ottovan Audio Part 6)
Excommunication
- "Excommunication is an excessively rare occurrence in the Church, and most consider it better to be executed as an apostate or heretic. If it does occur, then a vampire is basically condemned to an eternity of forever being branded as an undesirable to all of Ebonmire." (Source: Discord)
- "Most vampire who are given this fate live in exile, often beyond Ebonmire itself." (Source: Discord)
