MAGE: THE ASCENSION Tradition: Verbena Essence: Questing Nature: Visionary Demeanor: Loner Age of Awakening: 23 Apparent Age: Late 20s Spheres: Forces 4, Life 4, Mind 3, Prime 2 Arete: 4 In the dawn of time, Verbena say, the primordial Wyck rode the currents of Creation. Gods incarnate, they taught magick to the first sorcerers. Stories call them Tuatha Dé Danann, Æsir, Vanir, Bogatyrs . . . Their names are not as important as their legacy. In addition to their magick, these demigods created the Old Roads, and left their descendants signs by which to travel them. Other magi have different opinions, and call Verbena spawn of Lilith or whores of Eve -- the tainted offspring of sin. The hatred between the witches, the Hermetics, and the Choristers is well known. These uneasy allies see the Tradition's darker side -- the hedonistic shapeshifters who dance naked under the moon, spilling blood for banished deities. To the witches, however, life is sacred. It is to be enjoyed. It is not a fallen state to be atoned for. Pain, joy, hatred, ecstasy, birth, death, song, and prayer -- these are spokes in an eternal wheel. Verbena celebrate the brightest and darkest aspects of Creation, and their deities epitomize the passion and valor the witch-folk so respect. Like their gods, Verbena can be ruthless. Each coven-ground has a tree, and that tree is nourished with blood from live sacrifices and the witches' own veins. Yet honesty, compassion, and generosity are prime pagan virtues, too. A Verbena is loyal to her friends, remorseless to her enemies, defiant in her manner, and courageous in her Arts. No sect, as a rule, breeds better friends or bitterer enemies.
