Tempt and horrify those around you; the weak will fall, while the strong will be tempered by your testing
of them.
Inspire others to accept their inner darkness.
Experience every sensation imaginable, and then some.
Death is a means, not an end.
Kindred, as souls damned by God, fulfill their purpose by preying upon mortals.
Current Practices
No sin is too vile for a follower of this Path to in dulge, and no trust is too sacred to break. Kindred on
the Path of Night tie their fates very closely to mortals, who bear the brunt of their depredations. As harbingers of damnation, the Nihilists cull the secret fears and sorrows of humans around them, inflicting these terrors upon the kine as the whim takes them.
Ironically, vampires on this Path often have great reverence for those whom they perceive as truly “good” or
“blessed.” Indeed, one infamous Keeper, who plagued a family of witch-hunters down three generations and
was finally destroyed by a scion of the line, is rumored to have praised his destroyer for her resolve.
Following the Path
Vampires on the Path of Night terrorize their victims, a term which may apply to anyone to whom the
Nihilist is drawn. Kindred on this Path are loath to kill — that removes potential targets, though they are
not above doing so if the death may cause great grief to others or if preventing it would inconvenience their
own existence. To some degree, the Nihilists shepherd the kine, showing them what may await them if they
are unrepentant. However, no follower of this Path would openly admit such a thing. In their own minds,
they are devils, pure and simple.
Common Abilities: Kindred on this Path specialize in Abilities that allow them to torment others. Brawl,
Intimidation, Melee, and Medicine (for physiological knowledge) all have their value.
