Becoming the Herald of Blood is an apocalyptic mantle, bestowed upon those that bridge the power of mortal with that of supreme blood magic. The power to wield blood as a weapon, and to summon dread from the cosmos of the Shadowfell courses through your veins. Those branded by this title spread devastation wherever they go, bending the eldritch forces of blood magic and malevolent powers to their will, becoming avatars of their vampiric lord in the mortal realm.
