The God of Blood's prayer. "May the streets be painted blessed crimson. May the vessels that carry blood to the brain be closed. May bones be unnaturally warped on a fulcrum of pain." Lord Davairus was captured by the Legion in his youth, and forced to study among the guild of dark-knights. He eventually left the guild a master of its darkest arts, leaving only carnage and torn corpses of his massacred former teachers. For years, he walked in solitude. He had no cares, no woman, and no friend. He partook in endless battles against his nemesis Zylenier, the Mirror of Death. His hatred for his captors, the Legion, enticed him to challenge Darkhan of his authority. Battling for his own sanity, Davairus began to forge his own reality from his surroundings. Men began to bend to his will, forming a new and corrupted order - a Tyranny so subtle, yet so absolute, that none noticed its existence. His grudges elapsed, revenge no longer an interest, but Davairus remained consumed by conflict, driven by an instinctive thirst for violence that could no longer settle. Finally, after years of incomparable suffering unrelieved, Lodur granted him a chance to be freed from pain. With his favoured spear, gorged in the blood of his enemies, he crushed his own skull. The lifeless body of Davairus rose again and gained new power as the Lord of Blood. Just like their namesake, followers of Davairus can be expected to kill. However, it is not done for revenge or to cause pain. Rather this is how they worship their god. Both slaughter and honor are equally valued by Davairus, so that both a mindless killer and a honorable champion can be followers. Favored offerings include cowards and those who are motivated to kill only for pleasure (including to cause suffering), as well as those who will prove challenging to beat, while the weak and feeble are not a worthy sacrifice for the God of Blood. Preferred weapons are bladed axes, two-handed swords and large spears to ensure quick kills and heavy bloodshed. Each time blood is spilled in worship of the God of Blood, more power flows to Davairus. Kills that worship the Blood God are therefore likely to incur the wrath of his rivals upon their own followers. Cowards beware. The temple of Davairus is the battlefield, its altar resting within Tyr Unguld.
