Ascetics are a Romantic Society of the Kithain
Overview[]
The polar opposite of the Cerenaics, fae of this philosophy are brimming-over with the emotion of love, yet this love is rarely aimed at any one target for long. Ascetic love is not necessarily romantic in nature, but more universal in its calling. Indeed, many of this philosophy never physically consummate the act of love. (Though abstinence is not necessarily total.) Ascetics can be spotted by their firm optimism, powerful energy and good works. Energy that could be spent on other pursuits is instead aimed at improving the world. Although most Ascetics are very disciplined in their own comportment, few of them moralize or criticize the habits of other fae. While Ascetics are generally well liked, some wags infer that their celibate lifestyle has driven them insane. (Some are tightly wound.) These detractors generally try to liken them to the Inquisition, though this charge has little validity. Lady Sierra is the quintessential Ascetic.
