It is not known when the Derech Lilith was first formed. The only hints are that it had to be the region of the Fertile Crescent, given that Lilith is a primary figure in their myths. Her worshippers and followers formulate multiple mythic traditions, which are often at odds with accepted mainstream theology among the undead. They speak of a pre-Abrahamic time when not all vampires were thought to be from the same progenitor and thus reject Caine as the Dark Father. Alternatively, they look to times when there was something like the Caine myth, but Caine was a woman, or a pair of divine twins, or an angel, and so on. Many claim that their blood is the blood of demons, and that they were never totally human, even before the Embrace. Some even claim to have spontaneously become vampires without need of a sire, though none have proven (or attempted to prove) this to be true.
Most cults break Lilith down to fundamental principles: To pain and creation. To create, one must hurt and be hurt. This is the fundamental principle of life itself. Those who create with pure abandon and celebrate the wet and fleshy acts of creation will invariably be betrayed by those too afraid or otherwise unable to create, like Caine did to Lilith.
