                       THE PATH OF BEAUTY AND PLEASURE



   Ethics

   * There is Beauty in all things. Especially Kindred for they have the
   ability to surpass mortal beauty.

   * Revel in the Beauty that surrounds us for only Kindred can truly
   experience and appreciate it.

   * Search out and enjoy things that give Pleasure. Increase the sum of
   your experiences.

   * The intense pleasure of the Embrae should not be regretted. Feed off
   the mortals to give yourself pleasure. Even if you must take a
   mortal's life, be happy in the knowledge they die in the ecstasy of
   the Kiss.

   * The most pleasurable Kiss is that given to another Kindred and
   vampiric blood is the ultimate ambrosia.

   * The concept that Pleasure is sinful is a mortal facade. Anything
   that gives yourself or others pleasure can only be good.

   The Ritual with which one finds this enlightenment usually involves an
   evening of incredible sexual activity. Blood is spent in the acts of
   pleasure until Frenzy occurs at which point the mortal vessals which
   are provided are drained to replenish oneself. This process of
   releasing the Beast and then slowly draining a mortal, despite the
   desire to gorge oneself strips away the vestiges of your Humanity and
   puts you on the Path of Enlightenment.
