Blood Domain

Many gods control life or death, many control the powers of healing or the gifts of entropy; some gods however, have dominion over both, exerting their power over not only the living and dead but their bodies and the blood within them. These deities often strive for balance between life and death through the physical anchor of the soul, blood; using it as a binding for the soul and body, allowing their followers to tap into this power for many purposes; healing their allies, empoering their bodies or even, bending the wills of their enemies.
