The Sheriff enforces the Traditions and the edicts of the Prince within a given camarilla-controled Domain. A Sheriff may appoint Hounds to assist him (or the Prince may appoint them, in the interests of curtailing a Sheriff’s overt power).

Because of the importance of these duties, the Sheriff has the authority to request that any kindred accompany him/her for questioning and judgement, and as a result, is immune to the powers of the Keeper of the Elysium.
