The Camarilla Coord office propose the following opening to discuss changes to the Camarilla Genre packet due to the votes from the recent Conclave in Boston on October 2024 and the survey from the Conclave:
The role of the Harridan should be reevaluate from: (page 6-7 of Camarilla Genre packet)
Harridan (Coordinator NPC Only) - With recent events causing a stir in the social tapestry of the Camarilla (such as the public dispute between two claimants for Justicarial seats, the Extremis Boon from Clan Toreador and the need for supervision over international virtual communications), it has become clear that the Camarilla, and by extension the Justicariate, needs someone to mediate higher level matters.
This role is not a new one; historically, it was previously held by Lana di Medici before being disbanded in early 2000s, with the Justicariate trusting their own Archons to handle these sorts of affairs. However, with enemies, new and old, resurfacing and their other duties taking a more prominent role for the Justicariate, there is once again a need to reinstate the position in order to handle the mediation of cross-Domain scandals that cannot be resolved by local authorities.
The Harridan will be appointed to oversee those affairs, with each Justicar loaning the holder of the seat one of their Personal Status. The Harridan can name assistants who are known as Furies to act as its eyes and ears throughout the world, much as a Justicar employs Archons. The Harridan is considered to be a global Harpy, having the same powers as a regular Harpy on a global level.
○ Positional Status Gained: Famous, Influential, Well-Connected, Well-Known (4)
○ Granting Negative Status: A Harridan may grant Warned, Oathbreaker, Incompetent, Disgraced, Guilty, Despoiler, Malcontent, Shameful, Overambitious, and Pariah in any Domain so long as the character meets the requirements of the Negative Status.
○ Removing Personal Status: May remove Personal Status from any member of the Camarilla, in any Domain, at any time without having to spend their own temporary Status for scandal committed. Status removed by the Harridan should accompany some scandal that must have a grain of truth to it. May remove Negative Status from any member of the Camarilla, in any Domain, but doing so requires an expenditure of their own Temporary Status.
