The foundation of the Camarilla is based on upholding the "Six Traditions," with the primary objective being the preservation of the Masquerade. These traditions enforce order, protecting vampires from mortal prying eyes.

The Camarilla, often called the "Ivory Tower," is the largest, most organized, and influential vampire sect in the World of Darkness . While historically it presented a monolithic front of aristocratic control and preservation of the Masquerade (the secret existence of vampires), the 5th Edition (V5) of Vampire: The Masquerade introduces a seismic shift in its structure. In V5, the Camarilla is portrayed not as a stable, dominant power, but as an elite, exclusive club experiencing the "weight of its own decay," struggling to maintain control amidst technological advancements and internal splintering.

In the 5th Edition, the Camarilla’s traditional methods of control are tested by modern technology, specifically digital surveillance and social media. As a result, the Ivory Tower has become more insular and cautious, often retreating into a "maze" of bureaucracy, conspiracy, and misinformation. They view the "Second Inquisition" as a threat necessitated by the foolish actions of younger, technology-using vampires, forcing the Camarilla to become more paranoid, ruthless, and traditional.
