Via Caeli (Road of Heaven)[edit]

Nickname: the Faithful

While many of the Damned curse God, the Faithful accept the burden the Lord has placed upon them and find purpose within it. To the Faithful, everything is part of God’s Plan, even Cainites, and they devote themselves to understanding that purpose. As whole, this road was built upon the belief that God is testing the Faithful for their ability to shut out the ‘voice of Satan’, the Beast, and to strengthen their faith.

Paths[edit]

Path of Divinity - You are among the chosen of God and should be worshipped as such.

Path of Retribution - You are God's angel of vengeance and scourge of the wicked and sinful.

Path of Penitence - Your damned existence is punishment for your sins.

Path of Galconda - A rare path once preached by Saulot, which focuses on overcoming the curses of vampirism and becoming enlightened. There is a version that finds Galconda through the children of Seth (humans) or through salvation from God. Some consider it heretical, or worse.

The Ethics of Heaven[edit]

  • God laid his mark upon Caine and his childer as part of His great plan.
  • The word of God is law. Defiance of God is sin that leads to damnation.
  • No one is above God's law.
  • Love and serve God in all things.
  • Deny the Devil though denial of the Beast and all creatures of hell.
