There's major bad blood between them and the Euthanatos (specifically the Thuggee-based Chakravarti faction) thanks to a little multigenerational magical conflict called the Himalayan Wars, which started with a dispute about how to treat plague victims and escalated into a series reincarnation-spanning blood feuds (particularly ironic for the Akashics, who claim to be above such things). Despite this seeming unity, rivalries and disputes based on technique aren't uncommon.

They practice a martial art called "Dao" (Chinese for "the Way"), supposedly the Ur-martial art from which all others are descended. Some of them are petitioning to increase their influence, but they're a very small minority. The Buddha himself was apparently one of them. They naturally do this by strengthening their bodies (and by extension, minds), as harmony demands conflict.

Thought to originate near China, the Akashic Brotherhood are zen Buddhist Warrior Mages from Mage: The Ascension that seek harmony in a world of chaos. To strengthen your mind, you must first strengthen your body.
