The Road of the Yasa, also known as Via Yasaq and dubbed "barbarians" among the Westeners, was a Road of the mongolic vampires, specifically of the Anda, that recalled many of the traditions of warrior-brotherhoods (who were also called yasa) among the mongols. The main teachings of the Road were that those who settled down are weak and deserving of being plundered by the strong. Protection of ones blood relatives, be they kindred or kine, was also praised among the followers of the road. Special protection was levied to ones anda, or blood-brother, a tradition among the mongols that cainites often enhanced with a blood bond of both parties.
