The Testament Of Longinus
Vampire: The Requiem
One: That though you are Damned, your Damnation has purpose. It is the will of God that you are what you are, and the will of God is that the Damned exist to show the evils of turning from Him. The evil become damned; God has taken those worthy of His love to His own side.
Two: That what you once were is not what you now are. As a mortal is a sheep, so are the Damned wolves among them. That role is defined by nature -- wolves feed on their prey, but they are not cruel to them. The role of predator is natural, even if the predator himself is not.
Three: That an ordained hierarchy exits. As man is above beasts, so are the Damned above men. Our numbers are fewer so that our purpose is better effected.
Four: That with the power of Damnation comes limitation. The Damned hide among those who still enjoy God's love, making themselves known only to exemplify fear. The Damned shall make none of their own, for such is a judgement of soul that is the purview only of God. The Damned shall suffer yet more should they slay a fellow to take his soul from him
Five: That our bodies are not our own. Our purpose is to serve, and when we stray from that purpose, we are to be chastened. The light of the sun excoriates; the flames of a fire purify fleshly evil. the taste of all sustenance other than Vitae is as ash upon the tongue.
