To all who stand within our great Movement and to those beyond who respect our cause, I, Natalie Harper, with profound duty and anticipation, step forward as your new Baron of the Anarchs of East Nashville. This declaration is not only a claim of leadership but a commitment to our collective future.

I am honored to announce my trusted allies within the Movement who will help steer our course:

• Warlord: M'Barca Al-Andalus
• Sweeper: Cait Moody
• Reeve: Shade
• Emissary: Annika Harper

Our unity and strength demand clear guidelines to safeguard our well-being and freedom. These rules are not top-down edicts but mutual commitments ensuring our Movement's survival in secrecy and solidarity.

Effective immediately, the following rules are enacted within our domain:

• No Unbound Ghouls: All ghouls must be properly bound, ensuring control and accountability.
• No Irresponsible Embraces: The Barony would prefer the Movement to Embrace responsibly and be informed. The sire will be firmly responsible for the childers' actions.
• No Violation of Turf: Respect for individual and communal territories is paramount; encroachments will be met with firm action.
• No Unresolved Masquerade Breaches: We must swiftly and discreetly remedy any threats to preserve our collective safety.
• No Representation Without Consent: Official representation of our Movement requires permission from the Barony to prevent unilateral actions.

These guidelines were crafted with key members of the Barony, reflecting our shared values and collective wisdom. Violations will be met with consequences befitting the gravity of the offense.

We will hold a Rant tomorrow night after midnight; There are crimes to address and justice to be dispensed. Do not think that change of leadership means the absence of vigilance and you will answer for them.

Moving forward, this decree is about building a future where we can pursue freedom without fear. Let us unite under these rules as the foundation of our security and autonomy. Together, as a formidable collective under the night, we will not merely exist—we will prevail.

With unity and resolve,

Natalie Harper
Baron of the Anarch Movement of East Nashville

My Brothers and Sisters of the Anarch Movement.

I have come before you tonight to inform you all of several changes in policy, as well as to keep you informed of current events and the movements current state of affairs.

Firstly, allow me to thank all of you for the chance to serve as your Baron. I will always endeavor to make every effort to not take the confidence you have given me for granted.

With that in mind, I have policies which I believe will support the movement in its night to night affairs.

Several rules shall be enacted.
- There shall be no unbound ghouls within Anarch Territory. For the good of the Masquerade, which the Anarch Movement has sworn to uphold in the Status Perfectus.

• You are free to embrace that which you choose. I was never a fan of the tradition of progeny. The kine do not ask their grandparents permission to have children. Just the same I do not expect you to ask mine. However what I do ask is that the sweeper is informed of any embraces made, so they may keep a proper census of the territories population.

• This is not so much a rule as it is a pledge on my own part. All territory acquired prior to my election will be respected. I shall not infringe upon it. All people are entitled to the sweat of their brow. However, enforcement of your turfs borders remain your own responsibility.

• However those whom own territory will not be without aid from the judicial system. Poaching is an expressly forbidden behavior. Those found to engage in Poaching may be reported to the Reeve. The punishment for poaching shall be a gauntlet for a first offense. A second offense shall constitute the pulling of the offenders fangs. A third offense shall result in an extended sentence of imprisonment for an indefinite period.

• To prevent unilateral decisions from an unelected or undelegated party, no action representing the movement against another sect shall be taken without the express permission of the Baron. I am a man who values liberty, that much is true, however I am not a man who values pure Anarchy. We elect representation for a good reason.

• Don't break the Masquerade. Don't break the masquerade. Let me repeat. Don't break the fucking Masquerade.

That is all for internal affairs.

Moving on to border policy.

Over the course of these nights I have thought long and hard about what our stance should be regarding our borders. However, with recent events, my mind has been made up. The actions of Miguel, the primogen of the Lasombra, are unforgivable. For those not in the know, the Lasombra Primogen came to our crimson pit, our place of gathering, and our open hand to those of the Camarilla to come together in peace. To socialize, conduct business and engage in entertainment. He came to bite that hand. He came to insult all we stand for. He came to tear our roof down. He came to threaten our destruction. He came and drained our Warlord, Falk. He put him in torpor. It is my belief he did so as a provocation. It is my belief that he wants war. It is my belief that he wants to be prince. He used our open hand as a tool to sow discord, to spread anti anarch sentiment within the Camarilla, so that he can end our long lasting peace and wrest control of his sect for himself.

Allow me to say, we will not be made into scapegoats.

I have attempted to contact the prince of the Camarilla, but with no luck. Apparently they remain too busy to hear about it. I do not wish to assume the worst of the Prince. I want to assume they will open a dialogue, however, until such a time, I have made several changes to our border policy to ensure the safety of all anarchs

• Firstly, the area surrounding the crimson pit shall now be declared as Anarch Territory. Until such a time as a dialogue can be opened with the Camarilla's prince to ensure peace and safety between sects.

• Secondly, Miguel, Primogen of the Lasombra, is hereby banned and declared suspect by the Anarch Movement, and is forbidden from entering anarch domain. Should the Lasombra Primogen ignore this policy, he will be subjected to Justice by the Anarch Movement. The Primogen spoke much of tradition at the pit, and so, I shall elaborate on his punishment. It is a traditional punishment of the Brujah clan, popular among the philosophers, of whom's number I count myself a member of. Should the primogen violate this policy, he will be subjected to the Tantalus Box.

Now, should the Primogen not know what the Tantalus Box is, I would suggest he read up on kindred history for once. However, frankly, I don't really know if he can read. So I will detail the specifics of the punishment here.

He will be put into torpor and placed into a barrel. That barrel will be filled with cement until it is full to about his shoulders. He will then be awoken. He will then be burned with hot wax until he frenzies. Then, he will be buried at an undisclosed location for one hundred years of impotent frenzy. Normally the internment is permanent, but I don't want to be too harsh.

• Additionally, all kindred of clan Lasombra who count themselves among the Camarilla are restricted from entering Anarch Territory. Should a kindred of clan Lasombra desire entry, they may submit a request to the Emissary, Mizjin, pending approval of the Baron. They must also submit to a thorough background check to ensure they are not in collusion, or under the influence of, the above banned party. Violaters will face the lesser punishment of the gauntlet.

• All title holding members of the Camarilla are also subject to entry restrictions. They are forbidden from entering anarch territory pending an invitation into it, or a request for entry is made to the Emissary, pending approval of the Baron.

• Reporting an offender of these policies carries with it rewards. Those who report offenders shall receive a cash reward of twenty thousand dollars in United States Currency, as well as a minor boon from me personally.

It is my hope that these changes to our border policy will ensure the safety of all anarchs, as well as ensure a continued lasting peace with the Camarilla.

Moving on to Defense Policy.

I am a man who believes in defense, and who believes in retaliation with equal force. Thus I have decided to enact the following defense policies.

• There is to be no unprovoked attack of any member of another sect.

• Verbal provocation does not constitute just provocation for a kindred of sound mind.

• Verbal Provocation of a frenzy constitutes just provocation.

• Physical Assault constitutes provocation.

• Physical Assault for the purposes of provocation is the act of intentionally causing physical harm or unwanted physical contact to another kindred. Attempting to apply force to another kindred, Threatening to apply force to another kindred and Carrying a weapon or what appears to be a weapon.

Moving on to our Defensive posture

• Our Defensive posture is officially declared to be; Defensive to retaliate with equal or otherwise justified force. Leave us in peace, and we shall too leave you in peace.

Kruger · 2025-01-02

Moving on to Pertinent issues.

• Our Warlord remains in torpor thanks to the unprovoked attack by the Lasombra Primogen, Miguel. He must be awoken. Any who manage to awaken, or facilitate the awakening of the Warlord, shall receive a cash reward of sixty thousand dollars in united states currency, as well as a Major Boon from me personally.

• The Nashville Airport remains plagued by hunters. Many anarchs have lost their unlives. I aim to put together a task force to deal with these hunters in a discrete manner, so as not to endanger the masquerade. The reward for this will be great. Please approach me should any anarch be interested in taking on this important task.

• The Sons of Anarchy remain short on members. I encourage any Anarchs without a coterie to please seek out our Reeve, Isaiah, to discuss acquiring membership into the Sons.

That is all for tonight.

I thank you all for your attention and may you all have a pleasant night.

Mandate of Barony
Issued by Derrick Griffith
Concerning the Sovereignty and Governance of East Nashville

By right of claim and by right of possession and defense,
I, Derrick Griffith, do hereby declare and establish myself Baron of the domain known as East Nashville.

This claim is made not by inheritance, not by appointment of any foreign court, and not by the indulgence of the Camarilla,
but by presence, by survival, and by the necessity of lawful rule in contested territory.

From this night forward, East Nashville is constituted as a sovereign Anarch Barony.

This domain stands free of Tower hypocrisy, free of selective tradition, and free of any authority not recognized by its Baron.

I. On the Nature of the Domain

East Nashville shall be a domain of accountability, not fear. No Kindred within this territory shall be required to kneel, submit, or offer tribute in exchange for the right to survive.
Power within this domain shall answer to law. Law within this domain shall answer to the Baron. And the Baron shall be accountable to the stability and survival of the domain.

II. On Appointed Officers

The following appointments are hereby made, effective immediately.

Yamada is appointed Reeve of East Nashville.
He is vested with authority to enforce the peace of this domain, to investigate violations of domain law, and to act in my name in matters of judgment, detention, and defense. His rulings, when issued under my warrant, carry the force of Baronial law.

Code Red is appointed Emissary of the Barony.
She is authorized to speak for this domain to allies, enemies, and all external powers. Her words, when given in official capacity, represent the policy and intent of this Barony. To disregard her authority is to disregard my own.

Percy is appointed Sweeper of East Nashville.

aberrantlore · 2026-01-27

She is charged with identifying and removing threats that endanger this domain, its people, or its sovereignty. Those who are pursued by the Sweeper are deemed to have violated the law of this Barony. No warning shall be presumed.

III. On Sanctuary and Jurisdiction

East Nashville is hereby declared a safe domain for Anarchs and Independents.

Those who seek refuge,
honest trade, or the right to exist without coercion shall be protected under Anarch Law. Those who bring violence, domination, extortion, or Tower politics into this territory shall not be tolerated. No servant, agent, or squatter of the Camarilla may hold haven, influence, or sanctuary within this domain without my explicit consent. No hidden havens shall be permitted. No quiet arrangements with foreign courts shall be recognized. Those who serve the Tower shall do so outside this territory.

Furthermore, there shall be no persecution of Thinbloods in the domain of this Barony over their nature or existence. This is a safe space for all kindred who seek the protection of the Anarch Movement, regardless of their generation.

In the same vein, Retainers shall have a voice. Their opinion or preference shall not be suppressed and their individuality shall be maintained while under our Law.

IV. On Oppression and Survival

This Barony is founded for one purpose. To end the quiet oppression that passes for order.
No neonate shall be sold to purchase peace.
No Kindred shall be sacrificed to protect the powerful.
No invisible chains shall decide who is permitted to survive.
No new bonds are to be formed in this domain. Old ones will be maintained, managed and tolerated.

In this domain, survival is not a privilege granted by elders. It is a right enforced by law.

aberrantlore · 2026-01-27

V. On Obedience and Departure

All who claim haven, business, or influence within this territory are subject to the law of this Barony. You are not required to embrace the Anarch Movement. You are not required to swear personal loyalty to the Baron. You are required to respect the sovereignty of this domain
and to refrain from acting against it.

VI. On Current Relations and Hostilities.

The anarchs do hereby proclaim, upon pain of being labled breaker of oath, that all current hostilities against the Camarilla and it's persons are ended. We proclaim this as a show of good faith as the ban upon travel to Camarilla domains has been lifted. However, this does not apply to any act of self-defense. Should any Kindred under the banner of the Movement be attacked, they have the right to preserve their own freedom and body as they see fit.

Those who cannot accept this may depart in peace.
Those who violate it shall be removed.

This mandate stands as binding notice to all Kindred.

Respect the domain.
Respect its people.
Or leave.

So claimed.
So ruled.
So enforced.

Derrick Griffith
Baron of East Nashville

Mandate to All Kindred of East and North Nashville

By right of claim and by right of protection and defense, I, Derrick Griffith, Baron of East and North Nashville, hereby decree the following:

1. Isadora of the Clan Banu Haqim, former Sheriff of the Camarilla Court of Nashville, is to be presented to the Baron under accusation of invading the haven of the Baron's coterie without invitation, thus breaking the Second Tradition of Domain

2. Isadora is also accused of taking an unwilling ghoul with her, one that stood under the protection of the Baron of East and North Nashville.

3. By doing this while holding two Minor Boons owed by the Baron's coterie, Isadora also sees the Boons owed by the Coterie null and voided until the issue is resolved.

With all this in account, I, in the capacity of Baron of the Anarch Free States of East and North Nashville, hereby declare:

1. Isadora, former Sheriff of the Camarilla Court of Nashville, is Shunned by the Anarchs.

2. Isadora is to be brought to the justice of the Baron so she can answer for her crimes.

3. Should that not be possible, I call on a Blood Hunt against Isadora. Should she set foot on Anarch territories, and only Anarch territories, any kindred is given the right to hunt her down. Should her immobilisation be impossible, the kindred is free to destroy her.

We will not stand for this type of injustices in our turf. Especially not from a Tower lick.

Derrick Griffith,
Baron of the Anarch Free States of East and North Nashville
