Dehritohk

It is well known that the soul is the life essence of every living being, but for Dehritohk followers, it is the blood. They believe that by consuming the blood of others, they will absorb the life essence of their victims and absorb their powers. Dehritohk was banished from the kingdom of the gods, because he was too evil and powerful to reside in their chambers. They banished him to an eternal prison in the depths of hell. The gods did not foresee that his many followers would search for him endlessly. They eventually found him and freed him. When he was freed, he killed his rescuers and drained them completely to gain the necessary power to escape from his prison. Dehritohk hid in one of the many realms of hell, where he plots his revenge on his captors.
Dehritohk himself is an old myth, also known as the father of vampires. He created the first vampire and mated with it. He impregnated the vampire who spawned four vampire offspring. These four offspring went out and populated the world with vampires by draining their victims and reviving them as vampires. These four vampires were gifted with the special ability from Dehritohk to transform their victims into vampires by draining them within an inch of their lives, then stopping and feeding them some of their blood. They would then bury them and wait for them to rise as new vampires. Eventually, Dehritohk killed his four children to absorb whatever power they had obtained during many years in this world.
Today Dehritohk is mainly worshipped by vampires, but there are also others who worship him. Typically evil aligned. From what little is known about the non vampire worshippers it is said that they often work together in groups. They dress up in dark cloaks covering themselves from head to toe, only revealing their hands and faces, which they paint black to seem more monstrous and invoke fear in their victims. They kidnap random humanoids and sacrifice them to Dehritohk. Some worshippers set up big rituals and others just slid the throats of their sleeping victic. Common for all of them, is that they drink the blood of their victims.
A feared and ancient movement called “Fangtohk” still persists to this day. There have been kidnappings and rituals documented for thousands of years in the name of Dehritohk. It is evil men and women, many times vampires, who perform rituals where they sacrifice people to Dehritohk. They strongly believe that by sacrificing these victims to Dehritohk and by drinking from the victims seconds before they bleed out, they can obtain a link with Dehritohk. Through this link, he will grant the supernatural abilities and this way he will form a huge powerful army and use it to once again claim his seat in the kingdom of the gods.
