Another tradition is that of Accountability. While all vampires are supposed to follow that Fourth Tradition, the Ventrue believe it should apply even after the childe has been introduced and become a part of Kindred society. Ventrue sires always feel slighted if their childer act against the clan and will be the first to try to bring them to justice. Conversely, Ventrue sires also expect their childer's successes to elevate their own status. Following Tradition does not always mean unthinking adherence to senseless rules

A less widely known but more enjoyable custom is that of the Embrace Night. Each year, Ventrue celebrate the anniversary of the night they became undead. These celebrations, reserved for the Ventrue and their closest allies, usually involve weeks or months of planning and lots of money. Some Ventrue rent parks, auditoriums, entire hotels or massive luxury liners to hold their parties. The variety among these parties is truly astounding, given the clan's spiffy reputation. Some Ventrue do prefer subdued affairs where they recite their lineage for the benefit of all in attendance. Others, however, throw wild debauches where anything goes and blood flows like wine. The only constant with these parties is the gift-giving. As with mortals, all the guests try to surpass each other's gifts. While their is no obvious reward for giving the best present, doing so is a sure way to gain Clan Prestige. These parties are not supposed to be tied to prestation, but the recipient cannot help but feel somewhat indebted to the giver of an exceptional present, just as guests feel beholden to hosts who throw especially successful parties.
