Path of Entelechy

The Path of Entelechy is one of the more recent -or ancient- Paths of Enlightenment. Teachers of the Path are usual awakening Brujah elders that are horrified to witness the degraded state of their once proud clan. Only a few Brujah actually follow this path, the most prominent being Menele.

Followers are also called Philosophers.

Overview
The Path of Entelechy orientates itself to the ancient ideals of the Brujah clan. One of its main tenets is the protection of what is left of the humanity inherent to every vampire. Philosophers constantly wrest against their Beast in order to maintain their sanity and make the best out of their cursed state. They firmly believe that God has a plan for them and undeath can offer one incredible knowledge and experience which in turn can used against the depradations of the Beast.

The Path acknowledges three truths: Enkratia, the inner strength; Reie, the courage and Saphrosyne, the Self-Control. By living and perfecting each of these truths, the Philosopher can attain entelechy, a state of perfect Self-Perfection.
