What would be the dungeon and dragons' version of the paths of enlightenment from Vampire the Masquerade? Specifically, I am looking for something that resembles The Path of Typhon. For those who aren't familiar, here is a quote of some of the information from the White Wolfe wiki about the path.
Path of Typhon
Followers of this path fight against the Beast by indulging in it in a controlled manner and gaining so much more tolerance against its call (in a similar way to the rising resistance against alcohol an alcoholic possesses) until the time when Set will return to cleanse his followers from the Beast and form a new world after reclaiming his throne from the Sun-God
Ethics.
Gather information that can bring about the resurrection of Set
Contribute to the goal of the Followers of Set (reviving Set)
Bring others into your sway to increase your influence
Subjugate the Beast's whims
Maintain secrecy above all
Look for Set's hidden signs and follow them
What would be the D&D version of the Paths of Enlightenment and the Path of Typhon precisely?
Thanks

Sounds like a cult. There are various lycanthropes in D&D, but 1) they're not very well detailed or well integrated into the settings imo, 2) they're not available as player options, and 3) none of them have a direct analogue to this. On one hand, that means there's nothing to give you. On the other, it means there's plenty of room for you to invent your own.
Since you didn't post this in the Dungeon Masters subforum, I'm guessing you're making a PC. If so, talk to your DM. If you don't have a DM and you're just brainstorming, unfortunately this is a character concept that doesn't easily plop into a campaign, in the way that, say, "Rogue who works for a thieves' guild" would. So like, feel free to get creative, but be aware that if you bring it to a game, you'll probably have to rework a lot of it.
This is just stuff I'd write in my character notes. I suppose you'd want charisma-based skills to help achieve your goals, but other than that I'm not seeing any mechanical requirements to fit this concept.

So D&D doesn't really have an analogue to Humanity / Paths in VtM.
These area things you would put in your character's personality section.
