The Will and Oath of an Invictus
__________________________________
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be,
For my Unconquerable Soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have winced but not cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloodied but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears,
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
Now charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the Master of my Fate,
I am the Captain of my Soul.

History
The Invictus Coven, meaning unconquered in Latin, is also known as the First Estate and is a semi-feudal institution of vampires who practice the chains of lineage and fealty in order to preserve a distinct degree of rank. Borrowing directly from the traditions of feudalism in the middle ages, the Invictus relies strongly on a wide range of oaths, titles, degrees of servitude, and subinfeudation. Since the Invictus claim that their feudal obligations require them to protect their vassals, some Kindred choose to join the Invictus for the promise of having reliable allies.
Members of the Invictus are taught that their institution is a Meritocracy - that, given time and experience, any Kindred could rise to a position of prominence. Still, even low-ranking members of the hierarchy can often count on support from other Invictus. Experienced members recognize the value of supporting subordinates with potential, so Invictus members can often count on an ancient network of favors, influence over mortal society, and well-established resources.
