## History:

The Lord of Blood was once a powerful demon lord who ruled over a realm of endless slaughter and torture in the Abyss. Having been brought in to the world of Spielatz with the Lord of Madness and the Lord of Terror they originally worked together to destroy the world. After Conquering the Southern Continent the Lord of Madness betrayed the Lord of Blood and the Lord of Terror when he ascended into the Pantheon of this new plane and their conflict has been never ending since.

The Lord of Blood used his cult to gather more followers and resources, and began to plot his revenge against the gods and the Lord of Madness. He also sought to achieve godhood himself, by performing a ritual that would drain the blood of thousands of living beings, and his old Ally the Lord of Terror and channel it into his own body. He succeeded in his plan, and ascended to godhood as the Lord of Blood, a new deity of blood, death, destruction and pain.

## Appearance:

The Lord of Blood appears as a towering humanoid figure with crimson skin, black horns, glowing red eyes, and long black hair. He wears a cloak made of stitched human skins, and carries a massive flail that drips with blood. His body is covered with scars and wounds that constantly bleed, but never heal. He radiates an aura of fear and malice that can paralyze even the bravest souls.

## Personality:

The Lord of Blood is a cruel and sadistic god who delights in causing pain and suffering to others. He has no compassion or mercy for anyone, and sees all living beings as potential sources of blood for his hunger. He is also arrogant and tyrannical, demanding absolute obedience and worship from his followers. He hates the other gods, especially the Lord of Madness, whom he considers his archenemy. He seeks to destroy all order and harmony on Spielatz and return to the Abyss with his new power.

## Domain:

The Lord of Blood's domain is a twisted reflection of his former realm in the Abyss. It is a hellish landscape of barren wastelands, rivers of blood, mountains of bones, and pits of fire. The sky is perpetually dark and stormy, and lightning strikes randomly. The air is filled with screams of agony and laughter of madness. The only living creatures in this domain are the Lord of Blood's loyal demons, daughters, and their captive citizens who constantly compete for his favor or amusement.

## Worshippers:

The worshippers of the Lord of Blood are mostly evil creatures who share his lust for blood and violence. They include vampires, werewolves, cannibals, serial killers, necromancers, cultists, warlords, and tyrants. They believe that by spilling blood in the name of their god, they will gain his power and blessing. They also hope to join him in his domain after death, where they can indulge in their darkest desires for eternity.

## Holy Texts

The Lord of Blood is rumored to be making the book for his followers but requires the blood of demi-gods or gods to finish it.
