Path
Of Evil Revelations
The followers
of this path are most often known as Infernalists.
They believe that Vampirism is inherently evil. It originated
with Caines evil deed, and now vampires serve an evil
purpose. There is something horribly wrong with believing
there is a higher good for Kindred. There is none, because
the world was created for mortals, not the undead. The morality
of the undead is an illusion. Vampires were meant to serve
the forces of darkness. And those that serve well are rewarded
well.

NEFAS (Path of Evil Revelations)
This Dark
Thaumaturgy Path was created to pry secrets from demons
and mortals alike. Demons are often unwilling to teach it
for that reason. Parts of this Path were taken from the
magic of pagan oracles, and there is a pagan version of
it known as Video Pellis. This Path will fade into obscurity
in the late 16th century, though it will re-emerge as the
Path of Secret Knowledge, under the guidance of Sabbat infernalists.
The Path of Evil Revelations, as practiced by the Sabbat,
is a corruption of Video Nefas tenets, whether by
intent or the ravages of time. By the 2Oth century, the
Path of Evil Revelations has very little to do with Video
Nefas.
1 SEE
THE UNSEEN
The infernalist
can gaze into the spirit world. The infernalist can see
all nearby spirits, including demons and wraiths, as if
they were physically manifest. Requires intense mental concentration.
2 Learn
the Heart's Pain
The infernalist
looks into someones heart and determines what grieves
him the most. This is useful in deciding how to destroy
a foe.
3 Seize
the Moment
The infernalist
may reach into the mind of his victim and draw forth his
memories and thoughts.
4 Casting
the Bones
This power
allows the infernalist to part the mists of time and gaze
into the future. To use this power, the infernalist must
carve runestones from the bones of a sentient being (a new
set of bones is required each time this power is used).
The future is not fixed, so the infernalists vision
may be inaccurate it merely shows the likeliest course of
events and so is more accurate when dealing with large groups
than with individuals. Works one week to one year in the
future.
5 Recall
the Bloody Deed
The infernalist
raises a spectre of vengeance to uncover past misdeeds.
This power may only be used in a place where blood has been
shed in anger. The infemalist gives physical form to a minor
demon which appears as the victim of the violence, and bears
the victims wounds. This demon has the power to track
its murderer across land and sea to avenge itself. (VDA
