The Blind Path
Though called by some a monastic order, the Blind Path is really a simple-
yet-deep philosophy teaching its followers to see beyond the visible,
beyond the obvious, in order to experience a new and transcendental
reality. Developed by a woman who, through the machinations of fate,
found herself in need of a new "vision" in life, the Blind Path hides
within its ideals secrets that allow the blind to go beyond their
physical limitations and become one of the unsighted.

History
The woman known today as Mang-Ren went by a different name
when she was young and served as a courtesan in the Emperor’s
palace. Steeped in the cutthroat and politically charged
atmosphere of the Emperor’s court, young Mang-Ren excelled
in her duties as a giver of pleasure and gatherer of secrets. Few
were the nobles who did not owe Mang-Ren a favor here and there,
who showered her with gifts in exchange for her silence, or who owed
her his life because of a well-placed and well-timed word. Mang-Ren
had everything she could desire, even—and especially—the personal
attention of the Emperor himself above all other courtesans; in Mang-
Ren’s eyes, it was only a matter of time before she could use her
influence to take her rightful place at the Emperor’s side. Her ambition
was her downfall.

The Emperor’s wife decided that, while she could stand

courtesans, she could not tolerate a rival for her place, especially
an upstart from the provinces with a seductive demeanor and a
thirst for power. After trying, in vain, to sway her husband to
dispose of the brash courtesan, the Emperor’s wife took
matters into her own hands, using her own resources to deal
with the pest herself.

Mang-Ren never saw it coming, a testament to how Mang-Ren

complacent she had become. The Emperor’s wife set her

BASE OF OPERATIONS: __________________________________________________________

None. The Blind Path is composed of many scattered small groups of followers.

MEMBERS:
Mang-Ren, Mistress of Eyes. The Blind Path boasts some 20-30 initiates (characters of unsighted prestige class levels 1st-4th)
_____________________________________________________________________________
at any given time, with about half as many masters (characters of unsighted prestige class levels 5th and higher), though these
are wandering across the land and rarely found together. Each scattered community of followers is composed of anything from
_____________________________________________________________________________
5 to 50 common folk adherents to the philosophy, with a handful of them being members of other character classes.
_____________________________________________________________________________
GOALS:
As a philosophy, the Blind Path seeks to enlighten people to look beyond the material and the physical in order to witness the
_____________________________________________________________________________
true essence of life. As a group, the main goal at the moment is the establishment of a base of operations where adherents of the
Blind Path can come to learn the philosophy, and where Mang-Ren and other masters can teach those seeking the secrets of the
_____________________________________________________________________________
unsighted.
_____________________________________________________________________________
AFFILIATIONS/ALLIES:
Some individual members have connections to local groups in their communities, though these are rarely official or offer great
_____________________________________________________________________________
benefit.

RESOURCES:
Resources are limited to what members of each community of followers can provide; in farming communities, food and shelter
_____________________________________________________________________________
is easy to come by, while in a city boasting a few experts, a variety of services can be requested, usually at reduced prices.
Though the group does not collect any fees, followers do donate from time to time. Save for what is needed for living expenses,
_____________________________________________________________________________
most of this money is eventually given to Mang-Ren for the purposes of purchasing a base of operations.

_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN/MEMBERSHIP: _____________________________________________
None. Following the Blind Path requires only that the person learn to let go of their senses and reach an awareness of the true
_____________________________________________________________________________
essence of life. In order to become an unsighted, a petitioner must be blind, as only those who simply cannot rely on their
physical sight can achieve the deep levels of awareness needed to manifest the extraordinary abilities developed by Mang-Ren.
