Symbol: The Veve of Papa Legba

Spheres of Influence: Academics, Occult, Religion.

Factions: Camarilla, Independent.

Clans: This krewe favors the Hecata and Tremere, but does allow the rare few others, if they meet the requirements. They notably do not allow Nephilim.

Purpose: The Keepers of the Gate exist to monitor occult and religious activity in the city, as well as to grow their own knowledge in the mystical arts, lore, and the supernatural world. Because of their ties to the religious communities in the city, they are usually the first to see the signs of religion-based hunters, and can alert the Eyes or War Path as needed. Though they are a stronghold for the Tremere and Hecata communities, they've been known to take in academics, archeologists, linguists, mystics, shaman, fortune-tellers, preachers, oracles, and the like.

Founded by Mother Love in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the reorganization of the various sects and the division of Clan Tremere.

Initiation Rite
TBH.

Loose Lips Sink Ships
Secrets and mysteries are very important to the Keepers, and as such, initiated members are magically unable to betray their own. Not by word, or look, or deed. A person's thoughts are their own, however. A poppet is constructed of each initiate, and ritually bound in ribbon and cord, sealed with a drop of their blood. If ever a Keeper seeks to betray the coven in the ways mentioned above, their bodies will actively begin to betray them to prevent the secrets from spilling: tongues twist or words come out in gibberish, a writer's fingers might cramp up and become too stiff to move, a face might contort or a subtle nod might turn into a jerky, erratic gesture that makes no sense.
