Way of the Blood Ascension

The Cult believes that pain purifies weakness, fear forges intelligence, misfortunes brings creativity and dread cleanses the image of oneself. That said the Cult believes that since Life is made to bring hardships to make great beings, the time for cherish what one has and lives around is now and forever, as Life will sooner or later pluck it. In the Cult death is overshadowed by life, as they expect it with life, simply enjoying what they can without clouding their thougths with conjectures about inevitable processes. This does not mean they are insensible to it, in fact more to the contrary they safeguard the precious moment in which a life is snuff out with dedication and focus, making sure the moment in which one does pass away is as sensible and meaningful as possible for the circumstances.

The Cult will not actively try to find believers, since people who are in pain and don't feel comfortable in opening to gods and saints usually go there, to the place of humanly pain and similar brothers and sister looking for true connections and understanding, to help themselves through proving times.

The name Blood Ascension come from the legend of the founder, known to history as "the Straying One", which was said to absorb strength and energies through consuming the hearts of the enemies he fell, until one day reached power akin to a champion of a god.
