A Path on the Road of the Beast
Sobrequiet: Savages
Those Ferals who follow the Path of the Savage are implacable foes of civilization. They believe that every Cainite should revel in the fury of the Beast and allow it to reign supreme, untrammeled by law, convention, manners or any other restraint.
Practices: To become a Savage, one must join a war-band and suffer through its initiation rites. These rites vary from band to band, but they generally involve participating in a raid and striking a telling blow, such as killing a noble or firing a church.
Savages tent to lair in regions far from civilization and organize one or two raids each season to strike at whatever outposts of society are within reach. Some settle particular areas and defend them from the incursions of civilization, while others have a more nomadic outlook and roam freely across nations and continents in search of targets ripe for plunder and destruction.
