I looked upon the scene before me - upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain - upon the bleak walls upon the vacant eye-like windows - upon a few rank sedges - and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees - with an utter depression of the soul, which I can compare to no earthly sensation… - Edgar Allan Poe * There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy - William Shakespeare * No Man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks. - Mary Wollstonecraft * Tell me the news, again, whatever it is... sorrow and I are hardly strangers. I can bear the worst. ― Sophocles

Ethics of the Path

Developed by European Brujah, this path is about protecting the fragile humanity inherent in every vampire, and finding a light of truth in a dying universe. Mortals must not be taken for granted. Feed to live, no more.

These vampires seek to "perfect" themselves, and master their own true potential. Learn all that can be learned about themselves. To walk this path, followers must pursue personal excellence: the Beast is all that is weak and base in the vampiric form. Lusts, frenzies, hungers and passions are weaknesses that must be purged. The Beast is not part of your nature. It is external and must not be allowed free reign. Be strong and command it to be silent. Wrest against it in order to maintain sanity and make the best out of your cursed state. As an heir to a great legacy, never show cowardice.

Followers profess three essential concepts, three truths on which to base their philosophy: Enkrateia, or inner strength; reie, which they take to mean courage; and saphrosyne, control of the self. Once, young candidates were expected to pursue entelechy before the Embrace. Now, elders say, all Brujah should strive for that state. Thus, path adherents constantly hone and test these qualities through study of philosophy, physical training and development of one's powers.
