Medieval Christians are very focused on maintaining sexual purity and spreading the Gospel of Christ through proselytizing. However, despite a core common set of ethics and common commitment to the monotheistic worship of the God of Abraham, each faith chooses to emphasize very different practices in their daily worship practices. The Abrahamic religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – are nominally the most similar in their approaches to using the Road of Heaven to master the Beast. Paths: The Path of Christ, Derech Chaim – the Path of Life, the Path of the Prophet, the Path of Guiding Spirits, the Path of Watchful Gods The Faithful receive bonuses whenever they are in situations where being seen as holy would lend them social advantage. ![]() A few even prefer to gather with groups of Kindred of mixed faith, discussing and debating the merits and flaws of the different faiths.Īura: Holiness. Some Kindred, however, often those of pagan traditions feel their faith is best practiced in secret, in sacred groves and caves, out in nature where faith is between oneself and the spirits of nature. Muslim and Christian Kindred also tend to form large local congregations of faith, although the Christian communities tend to be rather more fragmented as disagreements over doctrine and appropriate practice cause frequent rifts among some congregations. Jewish Kindred place great importance on forming and maintaining communities of faith and tend to limit unnecessary contact with Kindred of other faiths. Many Faithful prefer to gather for worship in communities of like faith, particularly followers of the Abrahamic faiths. Organization: The organization of the Faithful breaks down largely along the lines of Path and faith traditions. The Embrace is a call to direct service of the divineįollowing divine law and rejecting evil is the only way to shackle the BeastĮach Faithful must choose their own Path, which determines more specific ethics and morality that they adhere to. Kindred existence as part of a divine plan The existence of a higher power and its dominion over all things However they practice their faith, every Kindred on the Road of Heaven believes in the existence of a higher power and its dominion over all things, that the mark of Caine is part of a divine plan, and only through submission to divine will can the Beast be contained.Įthics: The Road of Heaven is a bit different from other Roads there is no base Road rather adherents of the Road agree to a core set of beliefs: And a servant of the old Roman Gods believes that she had somehow offended one of the gods and must strive to regain that god’s favor. Druidic Kindred reason that serving the Great Balance requires light as well as dark. ![]() Jewish Kindred find the Embrace an invigorating call to scholarship, a new avenue for insight into the nature of God. Muslim Cainites see the Embrace as a call to destroy the servants of Shaitan. Christian Cainites liken themselves to Job, seeing themselves as subjects of a cosmic test of character. These differing religious traditions inform how Kindred on the Road of Heaven make sense of their Embrace. Differences between Faithful tend to be entrenched, with different Paths often representing distinct religious traditions. Outwardly, the Road of Heaven appears as the most fragmented and chaotic of roads medieval Europe teems with religions, and it is not uncommon for older Cainites to retain faiths that no longer have mortal adherents. Known as the Faithful, most Kindred on the Road of Heaven cling to the faiths that they held in mortal life. Kindred who walk the Road of Heaven devote themselves to understanding that purpose through subservience to a higher power. ![]() However, others cling to the belief that divine purpose guides the hand of fate and that even great evil can serve a greater purpose. Many Kindred feel the mark of Caine as a curse and rail against fate and the injustice. We wanted to give a little more meat to each, offering options and ideas as part of their writeups. This is a great example of the updated Roads. So here’s Road of Heaven, written by the wonderful Anna Kreider who helped me with the outstanding Vampire chapter of Dark Ages: Darkening Sky. I’ve brought on a few new writers, and we’re hunkering down in the next few weeks to knock this baby out of the park. I’ve also had a lot of stuff going on with Hunter: The Vigil, and I’ve been catching up on Trinity/Aeon, Idigam Chronicle, W20 Umbra, REDACTED, and Too REDACTED REDACTED: The REDACTED REDACTED. It turns out, that’s actually pretty difficult to do. ![]() Since we last spoke, I moved to the other side of the planet. It’s been a while since I’ve chatted V20 Dark Ages with all of you.
