The Path of the Feral Heart
| The followers of the Path of the Feral Heart, or Beasts, define themselves in terms of the Beast. As the ultimate predators, vampires stand outside all human social constraints. Civilization supports the weak - vampires aren't weak and don't need the support. Vampires should hunt when hungry and rest when tired. The Beast is only one part of the vampire's nature, but it's the most important part. The Beast tells the vampire when to act and when to remain calm. There's nothing wrong with either state, only with doing something at the wrong time. The Path doesn't give any merit to stupidity. As sentient predators, vampires must use their intelligence as well as their instincts. Forethought sharpens the hunt, letting the vampire prey most efficiently. The Path rejects the trappings of civilization, including technology. The Curse gives vampires everything they need. Relying on the tools invented by prey makes the predator that much more dependent on prey, more like the prey, more prone to failure. Vampires hunt and kill and should do just fine without any trappings. Vampires on the Path of the Feral Heart practice Conviction and Instinct. |
