Ethics of this Path
Only through pain are we elevated.
Be teacher, torturer, and lover to any who seek enlightenment.
Practice what you learn. Wisdom is meaningless unless it accompanies action.
Cultivate a garden, that you may show the power of your own creation.
Seek out those on the border of awareness and initiate them.
Gather with your brothers and sisters to share your learning and anguish.

Current Practices
Modern Bahari inherit many of the traditions of their ancient forebears. The followers of this Path rarely discard rituals or beliefs, for only true understanding of all of the world's mysteries can unlock the door to enlightenment. As such, the Bahari employ many and varied rites of worship. They often cultivate the hidden knowledge of alien cultures, and are quick to absorb and adapt new and different occult practices. Because of this openness, Bahari engage in a loose network of vampires who trade lore and mystical knowledge, even dealing with wizards, ghosts and other keepers of ancient secrets.

Following the Path
A Lilin breaks with convention, flouting "accepted society" in order to force others to re-evaluate their views of the world. With the branding-iron and the scourge, the Cainite brings painful lessons that, if survived, make the postulant stonger. To visti pain and even death is the greatest gift that can be given, for through these trials the individual comes to understand themselves. Each must discover their own inward seeds of Knowledge and Life, so as to become a universe unto themselves and an architect of creation. The garden, the symbol of life shaped and cultivated with care, is the manifestation of the Bahari's devotion to expressing what she has created and learned.

Common Abilities: Medicine, an understanding of the body in order to dispense pain without killing, is first an foremost among a Lilin's skills. As mystics of the ancient secrets, Occult is crucial.
