Being a Bloodspeaker is hard since from the very beginning, and every follower can start this sentence telling about the choose of the name of the Religion. To be a Bloodspeaker is something that a fes comprehend, even in the Order. Very of the speakers knew they had become part of something bigger even before meet the others. There is no official or regular iniciation to the followers, and many claimed to be never submited to any provation, nothing after the death of their own in the last invasion. | |||
For an unfortunate of coincidences, the Bloodspeakers choosed a name very near to the name of the former worshipers of the Daimons, the Blood Cultists, but their mach end only in the blood on their name. While the cultists tried to adore something to protect and spare their lives, the speakers search for the truth, above all things, even if this would cost their lives. You can see nobles from the speakers marching against the unnatural beings, and even the common wich profess the religion fighting anything with zeal and strength. | |||
The speakers are called like this because, above all things, the speak about the life and death of the others, honestly and without any type of kindness.

Speak about blood is speak about the inner essence of the beings, freed of every limitation. | |||

Introduction
The Bloodspeakers born with the subtle end of the last Great Invasion. When the Mist covered the lands with darkness to hide the terrible bestial enemies, the people was lost and afraid. They needed to return to the very beginnings of their faith: The Old Gods. Discipline and sacrifice. The blood that forged their nations. With impressive temples to pray and protect them against the monsters out there. The doctrine spread very fast among the common people and they returned to the old traditions. With their blood they would prevail.
Without a single God, the followers and Priests gather around local deities with their own peculiarities and traditions. Discipline and blood oaths unite them in a common interest even with such a great diversity of worship and culture. The religion that was born mainly in rural regions among the common people reached Agyr with a magnificent temple, probably the greatest of Beluaterra.

In their strange language and beastly habits, they worshiped a spark of the true essence. I sought the truth. And in my troubled dreams They whispered in my ear.

The Path of the Scholar
From the notes of Ablak Mahdi Angelo Invictus
...There is something on the humours that make us more susceptible to some enchants more than the others. For example, those who tend to the sanguine humour are more capable to become a Maho-Tsukai. More, they will be suscetible for the arts that attack the heart. You can summon them, with the correct subjetc of love, after death. Sometimes, they decide to do this by themselves, rising their bodies from the grave, pursuing what they believe is their way to their lovers. When this type of person become undead, the right way to adjure this undead is try to make them think that their lovers are dead, and can't be evoked.
Of course, you can try, but I must say, the undead tend to do not listen...
...The monsters, as the common people call all beasts they do not know or do not want to know and aren't spoted as Daimons or Undead is something that turns me curious, even more than the so called Daimons.
Different of the firsts, the monsters do not show any kind of usable inteligence, nothing above a primitive organization, based on the hierarchy from the strong to the weaker. Different of the seconds, you cannot recognize any kind of magic wich rise your diceased fellows. All we know is that, from time to time, this creatures appear, killing and eating the population and the crops, and the form they assumed in the last attack is not necessary the form they will show in the next...
