Blood for the Blood God
The Blood god Sanguis has finally awoken after centuries of deep sleep. Exactly why he slept is still fuzzy, and he hasn't yet gone into any great detail regarding his sleep, but he is back and looking to rebuild his temple. Additionally, he's on the hunt for certain individuals that might wish to devote themselves to him and his temple.
Long has the world borrowed and used his domain. As it stands, Sanguis has offered a great investment to mortals, and now and again, he wishes for the blood that has been borrowed to be returned. In other cases, Sanguis is happy to offer his domain to those who in the greatest need. Like the blood that runs to the heart through veins, only to return to the body through arteries, so does Sanguis both give and take the blood found on Faetasia.
So it is, Sanguis is aware that his devotees are lacking. So he is on the hunt for a few good Fae who might wish to work more closely with him.
Allegiances & Allies:
For those who own Racial & Domained Gods & Deities, Sanguis is interested in getting to know you. He has a soft-spot for blood drinkers, as well as individuals who either spill blood frequently, or at least, are known to dabble or are tied with blood. Any depraved or dark creature who relishes blood will likely find favor with Sanguis. Of course, he won't turn his nose up from those who come to him in need or with requests of any alignment -- blood pours through plenty in Faetasia and he won't turn any away.
While he is an evil god, he can still favor those who are good. Plenty of blood has been spilled due to righteousness and moral superiority and he might well grant favor to those who wish to wipe out an enemy. Truly, whose hands are clean when it comes to bloodshed? Good and evil spill it in equal amounts -- they just present it differently.
If you are a God or Deity wishing to make friends or form an allegiance with Sanguis, he's more than ready to play the politics game. This includes individuals who might see him as an enemy, or stop his bloodshed.
Umbral Knights
For Faekats of any stripe, Sanguis has essentially hand-picked individuals to join his horde. They are there purely to serve Sanguis and his will -- and essentially cut down any Faekat who gets in their way. While there are exceptions and some sorts Sanguis protects against, generally, these knights are not good news.
The knights are led by Sanguis' angelique -- Umbra. Sanguis himself has imbued various swords with his will and power, and brought them to life. These sentient swords have their own personalities and quirks, but are dedicated servants to Sanguis. Sanguis can and does work his will through the swords.
The swords, upon creation, choose their knight -- not the other way around. If chosen by one of the swords, the Fae will be tapped as the newest Umbral Knight. These Knights can be of any personality, temperament, race, and class -- but they all serve Sanguis. They are often sent out into the world on missions or tasks -- or are there to simply let their swords drink and return blood to the blood god and his Temple.
They all learn the art of battle, and Sanguis will use them as he sees fit. Sometimes they're their just to cause a little chaos, while other times they're more god blessed mercenaries
Crimson Guard
Closer to home, Sanguis is also searching for devotees and eventually, trusted individuals to be part of his Crimson Guard. Where the Umbral Knights are out there spilling blood and working for Sanguis often at a distance, the Crimson Guard is made up for individuals who serve Sanguis himself at his Temple. The Crimson Guard are those who choose, or are asked, to make the temple, or its surrounding land, their home.
The Crimson Guard protects devotees or visitors should Sanguis be away or distracted elsewhere. The guard can also take on a more cleric or priest/high priest sort of role as well. Blood mages, blood drinkers, blood takers, any could become part of his guard.
This Guard is mostly there to work in the temple. While some go out into the world to aid those in need of blood, or to spread word of the blood god and his temple, the majority of the guard stay and work at the temple.
The most devout might even be gifted the art of blood magic.
