Criamon Paths

As part of the deep phylosophical beliefs that characterize it, House Criamon provides a number of Paths from which their members may choose to direct and shape their lives. Besides following a well-established Path, a Criamon Magus may decide to create his or her own. Even Magi who purposefully avoid making that choice are understood to be in the Winding Path. It is impossible to follow two Paths symultaneous, and while one may freely swith Paths, it is a momentous decision with many consequences.

HoHMC describes while hinting at others. The detailed paths include the Winding Path, the Path of the Body, the Path of Seeming, the Path of Strife, the Path of Walking Backwards; the chapter also mentions the Path of the Mirror, the Path of Beacons. Another two Paths supposedly are extant among the living Criamon magi, and yet another four are known to the House.
