Mage the Ascension Lore: The Akashic Brotherhood

[@Grinnar]

When I was 19-20 I was in a dark place in my life. I almost moved to a Shaolin monastery. So this is a reminder of a sort of the more positives of that period.

[@Posturtle]

As a Buddhist (Western transmission, of course), I find the mixture of lore and terms interesting for the Akashayana.

[@lazarofstygia2241]

The Akashics found the Gautama Buddha's teachings useful for refining their philosophy and training.

Dude you are the Ken Burns of World of Darkness please never stop

[@marysmith4909]

Good to see you again!

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Good to be seen again.

[@KuLaydMahn]

Crazy... I just found your channel last night and binged a few videos, then I thought "damn, I really wish he had more videos on Mage!" Fast forward 24 hours and here we are. Sweet! (Some more deep dives into Demon lore would be welcome too, imo)

[@chainsawsubtlety9828]

Maybe you made it happen? Working your will, so to speak.

[@beatnikthanos1079]

Really appreciate what you do. Your lore videos are always on point! 👍🏾

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Thanks!

[@carlosg1538]

We really need more videos about Mage, is really a forgotten Game in the Internet but with a solid fanbase and a lot of people willing to try. Waiting for the Euthanatoi Video!!

[@kenyonking3534]

Awesome. Right when I was getting into mage again. Thanks

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Great to hear!

love The Stuff you Doing Mate, I Cant Wait for Dream speakers and Mokole

[@nickfulwood6384]

I'd love to see a Chakravanti video! I don't see many others talking about them.

[@chainsawsubtlety9828]

Mage? Hell yeah.

Thanks! very much my man!

Love this video! Would love to see you do videos on Society of Ether and Verbena

Great Video!

[@DCJMS]

nice

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Thanks

[@KaiserAfini]

This meticulously researched and well presented, well done. Since you have done some Awakening lore as well, would there be any chance you could do a similar focused look at the Orders, like the Adamantine Arrow and Mysterium ?

[@danielrockstrom707]

Nice!

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Thanks!

[@OpenBiolabsGuy]

If you love playing a Monk in D&D, then you’ll love the Akashic Brotherhood!

[@skeletonking4119]

This is the longest video? Also I hear voices background. But I do feel things is alright , dear excellent storyteller

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Yes, at least for now. And that might be Narcos you hear. Still playing with the microphone on this new computer.

[@Ivan-sv4he]

Yooo! Is this 1st out of a long running Traditions Lore Vids? H Y P E

[@lazarofstygia2241]

The Path to Ascension is long and winding.

[@benjaminfeld6388]

Since you did an entire in-depth video on one of the mage orders are you going to do videos on others as well? And what about the vampire clans? The werewolf tribes? Etc.

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Yes, as time allows.

[@marysmith4909]

He’s done some cool videos on V:TM NPCs and W:TA NPCs called “The Top Tens”.

[@benjaminfeld6388]

@@marysmith4909 I am aware. But those are generally focused on individuals from each group. He has not, to my knowledge, done an in-depth lower video of the groups themselves.

[@MrHalberdanger]

@@benjaminfeld6388 Ah. I see the rumors of the Tremere surveillance are not completely unfounded.

[@Demolitiondude]

You won't believe how long it took me to catch up.

[@ilnigromante666]

"Steel must be passed through fire first before becoming strong." Cool phrase.

[@Joshth1983]

The Wu Lung really would make more sense in the Order of Hermes than the Akashic brotherhood

[@lazarofstygia2241]

Agreed, but the Akashic Brotherhood is the devil they know.

Have you talked about the technocracy yet?

Not yet, no.

@@lazarofstygia2241 ok i just asked because they're important in mage the ascension

[@Jaems_Scott]

Okay, so, here is an honest question; I do not mean this facetiously. Have you ever considered doing a revised Abilities Lore list ..? --- I remember when White Wolf allowed community content to be uploaded to their website before they closed down the servers. There was a whole page on Lores. Those were a great resource for ST's as a guide, to help prevent Meta Gaming, by showing the players just how much their Characters have knowledge of something. You could revise them and put them up on DriveThruRPG as Storyteller Vault downloads. Just a thought.

[@lazarofstygia2241]

I hadn't. I'm undecided as to whether or not to delve into game mechanics.

[@lordsanguinius3467]

@@lazarofstygia2241 Don't. We should read it from the source anyways. Lore, on the other hand, is in short supply on YT.

[@joaocouceiro533]

Yooooo.

These are the Mage or Magi from the East who followed the Star of David that glows and rest in Bethlehem where our Lord Jesus Christ was born in a Manger they bring gifts of Myrrh Francinsense and Gold! K
