| − | A '''blood hunt''' is an order given by the [[prince]] of a city, calling for the [[Final Death]] of another [[Kindred]]. Such an order is usually given whenever a Kindred has committed a serious offense, such as kinslaying, [[diablerie]], breaching the [[Masquerade]], invasion of [[domain]] that has resulted in any of the above offenses, or any other behavior that a prince deems to be a sufficient threat to the safety of the Masquerade and the Kindred of the city as a whole. Princes have used the Blood Hunt as a means to eliminate political or personal opposition as well, although this is, strictly speaking, forbidden, and the misuse of the blood hunt can have severe consequences on the prince in the long term. | + | A '''blood hunt''' is an order given by the [[prince]] of a city, calling for the [[Final Death]] of another [[Kindred]].

Any Kindred who hears the order for a blood hunt is expected to participate, although it's not ''required'' unless the Kindred in question has committed truly serious offenses (such as deliberately or repeatedly violating the Masquerade). Typically, the damned have until midnight to escape the city. If they don't, then they are open to retribution by their fellow Kindred. Any Kindred who provides assistance to the target of a blood hunt will often become the next to be hunted. | Any Kindred who hears the order for a blood hunt is expected to participate, although it's not ''required'' unless the Kindred in question has committed truly serious offenses (such as deliberately or repeatedly violating the Masquerade).
