In accordance with the OWbN Coordinator Bylaws, Section 3.C.
iii. Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, R&U bylaw revision, R&U named characters, territory requests, in character enforced policy, or in character binding edict they wish to use which they can reasonably expect to affect multiple chronicles and these proposals need not be seconded, but go immediately into discussion.
1. If no opposition is voiced during the week of discussion, the proposal is considered passed and enforceable. Once passed these are considered binding to all chronicles and a chronicles refusal to adhere is grounds for OWbN disciplinary measures. Opposition must be in regards to the content of the proposal and must give those reasons why the objection is voiced. This is to allow Coordinator's the opportunity to respond and/or make changes/remove the proposal and its contents.
PROPOSAL
The Ventrue Coordinator proposes a change to the OWbN Ventrue: Guide to Clan Prestige in order to correct probably the longest-standing typo in OWbN history - changing the incorrect word "Cour de Lion" to the correct: "Coeur de Lion."
Coeur de Lion, or the Lion-hearted is/was a title used to describe several medieval monarchs. Cour de Lion was a misspelling of that title going back as far as I could find in the Ventrue genre materials for OWbN and this proposal is aimed to correct this.
For completeness, the current "Cour" de Lion is copy/pasted for your reading pleasure:
COUR DE LION
Ventrue who act without regard for their personal safety or profit, putting themselves at risk of Final Death to accomplish their goal are often Recognized with the Cour de Lion. Literally meaning “the heart of a lion”, this Recognition may be earned more than once, each time representing a larger and larger danger or adversity. Ventrue, who distinguish themselves through these acts of bravery always do so in the face of great adversity, danger, or threats to their personal well-being and may even go on to forge fearsome Reputations outside of Clan Ventrue.
Presentation: The Cour de Lion [Date]; The Cour de Lion and all related pips are presented as one
Nominated by: Peer
Recognized by: Superior
Requirements: Bravery in the face of great adversity or danger; Additional pips are added for each subsequent recognition but are Nominated and Recognized by the same process and for greater dangers
Restrictions: Suitable for starting PCs
No Bylaw changes or Grandfathering considerations are necessary. The spelling correction is simply a common sense, like-for-like change that shouldn't require any further thought.
Thank you,
- Brian Orlando
Ventrue Coordinator
