Older Harmonists realize that the natural order is in a constant state of flux, and so trying to "preserve" it is an artificial notion. If vampires are meant to be a predator to humans, are they meant to keep the mortal population in check? If so, they are not keeping up with the times. Of course, "natural order" is somewhat subjective. Harmonists have great respect for the natural order and their place in it. Yes, the vampire's role in the natural order is somewhat unpleasant, but then the rabbit would likely feel the same way about the fox. Simply "being" means that an individual or force has a place. The Harmonists do not believe that anything that exists is "unnatural". In the Final Nights, the majority of Harmonists are found in the Camarilla and most others among independent Gangrel. Most of the remaining "true" Harmonists perished, left the Sabbat, or learned to reconcile their faith with their sect loyalty (usually as nomads). Some members embraced their bestial sides and rediscovered the far older Path of the Feral Heart. The Harmonists felt that the Sabbat's methods and ultimate ends were too destructive, both to the world and to individual members of the sect. The Path enjoyed some favor in the Sabbat for a time, and then suffered a recent schism with the sect. The Path was refined in the early 18th century in the Americas, based on work by Lady Meridie de Chancie and Haakon Mortensen at the Black Monastery in 1666 CE. The Path of Harmony combined elements of Native American beliefs and ideals gleaned from simply observing the world and the progress of humanity.
