	Lilin Hierophants eschew the Sabbat. They do not forbid other members to join that sect, but they understand that the Sabbat worships Caine and Caine is an enemy of the Dark Mother. Sabbat members chosen as Heirophants often fake their own Final Deaths and abandon the sect. Existing Hierophants find a new priest a place and attempt to waylay any investigators. Because the Sabbat has such a high turnover rate, few such investigations occur.		Lilin Hierophants eschew the Sabbat.

	Lilith's followers must prove themselves constantly and challenge others on the path. Her temples are established in torture chambers and morgues, where initiates are forced to confront the limits of their existence. Although Bahari see pain and pleasure as ~~teh~~ two constants of unlife, they are not mere "leather sluts" and rarely indulge in mortal sadomasochistic practices. They occasionally draw converts from such communities, but frown on the vanity of such pursuits. Pain without enlightenment is a mere fact of biology. Titillation does not enlighten. Enlightenment must burn. Enlightenment must tear down all illusions and flay away mortality. Enlightenment is nothing if it's easy.

	The Path of Lilith is upheld by vampires. There are, however, other churches of Lilith amongst the other races of the night. From what little the Bahari truly know, different creatures have their own catechisms, their own scriptures and their own cults dedicated to the Dark Mother. Adherents of the path have little time for these foreign groups, though. Lilith may deliver truths and revelations upon other races, but those she whispers to the undead are obviously the most important. This arrogance has brought the Bahari into conflict with other followers of Lilith in the past, and may well do so again. The Lilin are particularly interested in finding out if other offspring of the mother - the people of Arikel's tribe - still survive. The search was never a priority, but as the Final Nights draw close the coven wonders if it has unknown allies. These humans may bear knowledge denied to vampires. If the tribe still exists, the Bahari must know on whose side it stands. If the humans are enemies, the Bahari whisper, they must be killed before the Dark Mother awakens.

	'''Bahari Ethics'''		'''Bahari Ethics'''
			*Seek pain. In moments of agony, one's senses are afire and enlightenment is close.
			*Be a teacher, lover and bringer of pain and knowledge to those who would follow the Dark Mother's ways.
			*As a vampire, the night belings to the Lilin. Blind mortals are one's victims.
			*Confront your fears. Overcome them. Grow stronger.
			*SEek out those who would find awareness and draw them into the truths of the path.
			*Nothing is fair in this world. Fairness and sentimentality are for teh weak. The Mother rewards teh strong.
			*Be independent. Be strong. Trust only one's self.
			*Share pain and learning with others on this path.
			*Wealth, materialism and comfort are mere trappings - foolish things of civilization. Reject them.
			*Mortal religion merely encapsulates God's oppression of the Mother. Seek to undo all its rules and teachings.
			*God forbids magic and all vampiric Disciplines. they are the dark gifts that cast off the shackles of His petty rules.

			'''Lilin Virtues''': Conviction and Instinct

			'''Aura''': Intimidation. The Bahari's long association with self-torture infuses her aura and affects attempts to intimidate or convince others of her willingness to resort to pain.

			'''Common Abilities''': The ideals of this path demand creativity and an analytical mind. Bahari also prize acuteness of the five senses: Alertness is favored. Other prized Abilities include Athletics, Empathy, Expression, Crafts, Performance, Academics, medicine, Occult and Science. Though they may claim otherwise, the Lilin tend to welcome converts who have a high Appearance rating.

			Torture is an essential element of the path, so adherents are usually skilled in Intimidation and Melee (with specialties in instruments of pain), as well as in Medicine.

			Linguistics is also favored, although followers are more interested in dead languages than extant ones.

			The vampiric Disciplines are Lilith's gifts tot he Children of Caine. These are the powers Caine and his grandchilder in turn used to destroy her garden and exile her. Lilin are expected to hone their powers so that her gifts can be used against Caine and his line.

			Powers such as Animalism, Celerity, Fortitude and Obfuscate are prized, and these are said to be teh "purest" of the Mother's Disciplines. There are rumors of a cult of Lilith worshipers in Egypt who are skilled at Necromancy.
