The Path of Evil Revelations
| The followers of the Path of Evil Revelations, who call themselves Corrupters and Slaves, teach that all vampires serve the greater powers of evil. Vampires are not their own masters, but agents of Hell itself. The vampire's only choice is to acknowledge and serve his infernal creators - to resist is to face destruction. The Beast is the demon given to each vampire in the Embrace. In the end, when Hell triumphs and the infernal lords stride through every realm of existence, vampires who obeyed their inner demons will reap rewards. The others... won't. No Slave knows just how many demons exist, or whether, over time, new demons emerge in some mysterious process of creation. Demons don't tell their servants such things. Each Slave learns his particular part in the grand schemes of Hell - the specific vices he should promote and, in some cases, the virtues he should concentrate on undermining. The demons set some vampires to traveling wherever the opportunity to corrupt in a particular way may arise while other vampires must stay in one area and corrupt it in a variety of ways. Keep in mind that Corrupters don't make all this up. Spiritual beings of great power and great evil do exist in the World of Darkness. Infernalism does allow material beings to contact demons, and a variety of rules systematize the process of cutting deals with demons. Demons never tell the truth except when it makes a good weapon, so bystanders need not assume that the Beast actually is a demon or that Hell's triumphs in editable. Vampire skeptics face enough surprises already when infernal force presents itself to them. The Sabbat and Camarilla hate the Path of Evil Revelations with equal fervor. Neither sect likes the idea of vampires binding themselves to demons or the destruction such creatures bring. Corrupters regard the sects as foolish and weak, obstacles for Hell's willing servants to overcome - by subversion and mastery if possible. The Path of Evil Revelations claims unique truth. Any moral code founded on rejection of vampires' status as demonic servants is wrong, pure and simple. Adherents to other Paths find the Corrupters laughably pretentious, dangerously insane or both. |
