Path of the Hive

3 pts
Morality

An ancient path originally followed by Clan Baali, the Abelenes act as shepherds guiding and protecting Creation from their true enemy: demons, devils, and fallen angels, all trapped in slumber by the One Above. The children of these slumbering horrors give them power and risk their awakening with every mention of their name.

Followers believe that Abel was resurrected as an immortal angel of vengeance, charged to be his brother’s shepherd and to cull from Caine’s flock to reclaim the blood his brother had stolen from him. Abelenes believe that all vampires are children of the light and blessed by the One Above, guiding humanity and shielding them against the Children of the Sleepers.

The swarm needs to endure, and to that end the Children must remain imprisoned. Disciples of Moloch study demonology as a means to an end, collecting vast amounts of forbidden knowledge to learn the obscured True Names of the Sleepers so they may better supplicate them into perpetual dreaming. Abelenes are renowned occultists and incredibly skilled blood sorcerers who congregate in Nests, with no central authority. The path itself was rebuilt to espouse the precepts of the Order of Moloch and all followers of the path are, without exception, members of the Order. 

System:

You do not gain Beast traits when performing a sin so long as you commit that sin in an effort to thwart the machinations of the Sleepers and their children, including other Baali. If you swear fealty to the Fallen, the Sleepers, or other demonic forces, or if you fail to heed the counsel of the Swarm and are disloyal to other Abelenes, you gain Beast traits as if you had committed a level 1 sin. If you refuse to commit atrocities to keep the Sleepers dormant or if you selfishly use your knowledge and prowess to amass personal power you gain Beast traits as if you had committed a level 4 sin. Followers of this path are called Abelenes or the Children of Moloch.

Members of the Baali clan can purchase this merit for 2 points, rather than 3. Baali who purchase the Moloch’s Heir Merit may purchase this merit for free.
