The Path of Bones

BASIC BELIEFS
The body is merely a vessel for the soul, or so the followers of the Via Ossis belive. Those who walk this path are morbid and existential. They are, at times grounded in the temporal world, at other times concerned with the plight of their immortal spirits.
Though the physical body makes a transition from birth, through life and into death, the soul remains constant. When the body dies, the soul is placed in another body, oblivious to its prior existence. Adherents to this Path do not revere life on an individual basis, but rather as a collective. As such, many followers of this Path conduct sacrifices or experiments in which subjects die, so that they may study the journey of the soul back to its origin.

FOLLOWERS
This Path draws a narrow group of followers. Proponents generally seek scientific answer to these matters of the spirit, though some seek merely to substantiate their faith. While generally spiritual, followers of the Path of Bones are not commonly passionate, but content to belive that they belive and continue learning.
