Lilith (WOD)

Lilith is an obscure heretical figure in Noddist mythology, although her followers,the Bahari see her as the aggrieved party in the whole homicidal farmer thing.

According to the Talmud, Lilith was the first wife of Adam and his co-equal, split off of Adam Kadmon and his counterpart in power and wisdom. For this, God banished her from Eden and then went back to a couple of other experiments before getting the whole Eve thing right.

According to the Bahari, however, Lilith enjoyed an extensive sequence of affairs with both Yahweh and Lucifer, who were Gods with their own Gardens (here possibly referring to pocket dimensions). Eventually abandoned by both, she met the wandering banished descendant of her ex-husband, a surly little murderer named Caine. She took Caine in, tended to his injuries, fed and healed him, and taught him secret wisdom - the seeds of which blossomed into the vampiric disciplines.

And how does he repay her? By abandoning her as well, to wander forever apart, mother of monsters and thief of infant breaths. Caine goes on to found Nod and Lilith leaves the scene.

In modern nights, the cult of Lilith is a path of enlightenment in the sabbat. Bahari believe that pain is the goad that leads to wisdom, and that true love involves more than a little screaming and more than a lot of blood. The Lilins are not exclusively a vampiric cult, however; their predecessors worshipped Lilith as mortals, until the Lamia were embraced by Lazarus.
