The Roads

A Path on the Road of Bones

Nickname: Necronomists

The dead do not walk. The dead rot. Sometimes their sould linger in a tormented in-between state. But eventually even they pass, to Heaven or Hell or to whatever fate lies beyond earthly experience. And yet, vampires walk and vampires are dead. Their organs are rotted, vestigal things. The Embrace purges out every bodily fluid but one. Vampires are dead, but they walk. How can this be?

The simple, glib anser is that vampires are cursed by Caine's legacy. But a mere curse cannot defy the order of things.

Vampires are therefore something else, something not perfectly understood. Various undead have tried to solve this mystery. A few have made it an obsession. The necronomists are among them. Death, the afterlife, the strange anatomy of vampirism, the scinece of the soul - these are believed to be the Enochian keys to opening the secrets of the universe.

If only they could be understood.
