The Blood Cult/Rituals
The faith of the Blood Cult is made up of many, sometimes complex, rituals, where priests are usually integrated in special events or even everyday affairs of the members of the religion.

Rite of Initiation
There are many great events in every noble's life, events which change who his is and how he will live. These are typically marked upon the person under the form of complex tattoos, which skilled and well-informed people, such as the tattoo artists themselves or the priests, can interpret to read every turning point in a follower's life, as others might write and read books.
Tattoos
Tattoos are the marks given to members of the faith once they complete rites of initiation, which are expanded as the follower ascends within the faith's hierarchy and vary greatly according to his path of life and patron deity.

Prophecies
Priests may commune with spirits in order to predict one's future, or use their dreams to do so. They are not unfailable, though, and being human, they can misinterpret the hints they are given, which is why some priests are naturally more skilled than others, and some may even do a profession out of it.
