The Camarilla
The Camarilla is the largest vampire sect. In theory any vampire can claim membership in the sect, regardless of lineage. In actuality, Camarilla assumes that all vampires are members of the sect, whether they want to be or not.
The number one goal of the Camarilla is to preserve and protect the Masquerade. But even with a common goal the Camarilla is a divided sect of moderate influence.
It is said that the Ventrue played a great role in bringing together the seven founding clans of the Camarilla. Even though the Camarilla is open to all vampires, only about half the clans are well represented.
