Many Cainites believe that the Embrace irredeemably damns them. Some of these reason further that they have been turned into servants of the Devil (or whatever power of ultimate evil they believe in). It would logically follow, they add, that they have become vampires so that they should work evil on the Earth. If they refrain from acting like devils, they will no doubt be ultimately punished for shirking their duties. These debased Cainites follow the Via Diabolis - the Devils Road. The very nature of a vampire’s form can actually be taken as proof that the Cainites were created to do evil. After all, there’s nothing intrinsically virtuous about preying on innocents. Therefore, evil must be innate to the undead, who are denied the fruits of Heaven. lnterestingly enough,the followers of theDevil’s Road often have no real contempt for the good and holy. They simply believe that they, as vampires, must oppose the forces of virtue to the best of their ability. Of course, those of the Road of the Devil have difficulty dealing with vampires on other Roads. Any vampire who professes a philosophy other than theirs is clearly deluded or lying. Either way, the Devil’s childer cannot trust the other Cainites. And, of course, no sane vampire on another Road would return the trust. The Via Diabolis is a lonely road. Fortunately (or perhaps not), others walk it with you.... Those on the Via Diabolis try to make their unlives as pleasurable as possible, at the expense of those who oppose them. They refrain from traits such as mercy and gentleness, finding them opposed to their role, They kill when necessary or appropriate, and create new vampires whenever they like. (After all, they need to increase the evil in the world. Duty is duty.) They trust only those other vampires who openly agree with their philosophy. Above all, they avoid associating with priests and the like, their eternal foes. Warning: The resulting roleplaying can be very intense; just keep your friends’ sensibilities in mind. Cainites on the Devil’s Road idealize callousness and excess. They practice the Virtues of Conviction and Instinct.
