Road of Blood
Sobrequiet: Assassins or Dervishes
The others have been judged and found wanting. The judgement has been made and it remains for the executioner to deliver the sentence. Through diablerie, murder or blood magic, the Children of Haquim slowly fulfill the dictates of their clan founder. The war is a holy one; the vampires are offenses to God (or Caine), and must be removed from his Earth.
The Path of Blood is the name given by outsiders to the set of dictates and obligations followed by the most loyal of the Children of Haqim. Those who follow the path or those familiar with the ways of the children refer to the faith as "the way" or even "the laws of Haqim."
The path is ancient, dating back to the foundation of Alamut, and its precepts are older still. The course exalts the heirs to Haquim's blood above all others; they are decended from the Holy One and gifted with his teachings. This legacy of both divine grace and immortal wisdom marks the Assamites with a special place in God's plan.
The Way teaches that the Children of Caine are a curse leveled by God on His failing human worshipers. Haqim's children are just as damned and just as much a part of the curse as any other vampire, but they can transcend their state and rid the world of the pestilence of other Cainites by virtue of their heritage and blood. Staying on the path and obeying the laws of Haqim, the Assamites may stand apart from other vampires and be judged on their own actions.
