Bloodisum

== Overview ==
Bloodism originated within tribes roaming early Eldham. An ancient underground temple was uncovered by explorers who became obsessed with deciphering the various runes and writings around the ruins. One of the explorers, possessed by an unknown force, was suddenly able to read and understand the runes. Upon reading one aloud, the ground began to shake. Those in the cavern fell silent, and they felt a great Awakening in the air. The Old Gods had returned. Over the next few months, the explorers began to mutate with strange, powerful, and painful physical properties. Understanding the dangerous force they had meddled with, they began covering up the runes so none would face this same fate. However, not all of the explorers had the same goals. The one who had spoken the first rune, under the gaze of his fellow men, began to desperately record and worship the writings in the ruins. The runes spoke of old, powerful forces the explorer began to call the "Old Ones." One by one, the explorers began to die of their mutations, all but the one who accepted and worshipped the Old Ones. He donned a cloak so none may lay eyes on his unholy form. The explorer now wanders the land, bringing new followers to a town he built above the ruins to worship the most powerful beings to have ever lived.
(The main area is for the major gods all minor gods (Below) have just about a paragraph of info each)
== Worshipping the gods ==
=== Khor ===
To please Khor, one must fight in Khor's name and dedicate their kills to Khor's glory. He will bestow gifts upon warriors that have proven themselves.
=== Ratial ===
To please Ratial, one must hold festivals in their name and sacrifice valuables. Ratial will reward you with gifts and often makes appearances at festivals to drink with their worshipers. Even if you can't see him, he is always there in spirit.
== Powers and ability's ==
=== Khor ===
Khor can augment beings with strange abilities, such as improved strength and speed. Khor also controls fire, having a natural affinity with destruction.
=== Ratial ===
Ratial has less combat based powers then Khor. He is known to bless and heal those who appease him.
== Bloodism Pantheon ==
=== Khor ===
Khor, also known as The Blood God, is the god of blood, war and murder. Khor's domain covers the most basic and brutal of sentient emotions and actions, such as hate, anger, rage, war and killing. Khor does not accept traditional sacrifices, rather, a warrior dedicating a battle or a kill to him.
=== Ratial ===
Ratial, the Great Rat, is the god of parties, comedy, greed, drugs, and funny times. Ratial appears as a great large humanoid rat in most scripture. He will accept sacrifices of great sentimental and physical value.
== Minor gods ==
=== Ctaread ===
Ctaread was awakened by a citizen of the town of bloodirth in the ruins by uttering their true name in the ancient tongue of the gods. As a god of harvest Ctaread is naturally kind to their followers granting them great abilities with plants. Although kind Ctaread has no tolerance for those who would deny the old gods and it is said in scripture they can cause quite a formidable form of attrition  on whole cities by stopping crop growth. Ctaread though a minor god still demands respect and sacrifices of the harvest that they so kindly provide.
=== Rebcryewr ===
Rebcryewr was awakened by a man who currently lives in the ruins corrupted by its power the man has become Rebcryewts’s vessel to this realm. Rebcryewr is responsible for the abundance of berries that the followers of the old gods live on. Little to none more is known of Rebcryewr due to their not being any ruins dedicated to them but you could always ask the one they reside inside currently. Though the provider of sustenance Rebcryewr is a wrathful and blood obsessed being . The berries made by Rebcryewr are fed fresh blood daily to keep them alive and by extension Rebcryewr.  The berries are for one and for all but beware if you get to close they may take some of your blood as penance.
=== Luthracasd ===
Luthracasd is the deceitful god of thievery, lying and scheming. Luthracasd is the least respected god among the old gods but still holds minor influence over the church. Luthracasd was awakened when a follower of the church stole items from another within the treasury of bloodrith of which the ruins and their runes are beneath. This act of betrayal prompted Luthracasd’s awakening and we can assume that Luthracasd will reward those who sacrifice stolen items of value. (Writers note this does not mean we condone stealing from the people of stoneworks but bandits be doin things man and this religion needs a god for the dishonorable) With this new development we can now assume that minor gods can simply materialize from actiontions taken on grounds the ruins lay on without their true name needed to awaken them.
=== Uggbug ===
Uggbug is the god of madness and insanity. We know little to nothing of Uggbug other than it inhabits the realm of those who have lost all sense of reason. From what we do know Uggbug was originally a powerful god but lost almost all his power when he surcame to insanity. He was banished from all hearths by the blood god to restrict his power and now he wanders the world as an insane nomad.
== Vessels ==
=== Becoming a vessel ===
Vessels are chosen by gods and minor gods as their representative on the mortal plane. If you appease a god they may select you to become their vessel. The High priest whatgames123 vessel of Khor is the one who assigns gods to vessels in accordance with the gods wishes.
=== What happens next ===
Vessels are respected or disrespected depending on what god inhabits them. Assuming the god that has entered you is important or respected you shall feel that respect and reverence that god feels. You shall also receive a position in the church depending on your gods standing.
