Vordulism

All know the Gods meddle in the lives of men, both great and small. Capricious and cruel, or just and kind it matters not for most. Their fates are not their own. And so the story of Xlair Silverblade may have unfolded; the young man was marked as doomed by the terrible Armor of Arshava that cut and bled the man in eternal agony. But when great men are beset by the Gods they have options, they may be pawns. But even pawns can cross the board. Xlair Silverblade died so the Eternal Emperor might stand among the Gods. The Eternal Emperor understands the importance that without sacrifice, there cannot be change. As the Dark Mistress' rogues seeks to consume all, the rites of Vordulism agree with the Crystal Maiden that the Dark Mistress must be dethroned. Only through the Eternal Emperor's divinity can humanity finally become united There will be suffering by some but the Eternal Emperor will shoulder that burden. He will show the way. The sworn of the faith affectionately cite the actions of the Bloody Prince, referring to the mortal form that was once known as Xlair Silverblade. Founded in the mountains of Iknopata by Prophet Godfrey Greybrook, he leads the priests of Vordulism. All the faithful work for one cause, the unification of the continent under the one true faith. They say this will provide the strength the Eternal Emperor needs to finally slay the Dark Mistress. In sacred blood, I swear for blood eternal Priests believe in the sacred nature of human blood, for the continent's ingenious people's and true rulers are humanity, not the rogues that dominate it. After the events in Keffa by the evil Heralds of Obeah, the champion Polli brought forth the ancient power known of blood rituals. Priests attempt to draw on the Eternal Emperor's power to bring the change to unite humanity under one belief which will end the rogues for good. Humanity must unify and suffer together, or we all face damnation. The obstacles that stand in the sworn's way are not only the forces of rogues but the other human faiths that preach falsehood and deny humanity unity against the true enemy. The Daishi are vast and dominant, yet weak in their pantheon to the deities of death to prevent their own. The evil Heralds of Obeah worship a deity that brings destruction and mysterious rituals that bring closer the end of days. The Cult of Mordok, now a shadow of what it was, could of been an ally as a misguided force, now left to obscurity. Finally, the mysterious resurfacing of the Old God pantheon.
