Vampirism, the term commonly associated with blood magic, is the way of using blood to perform spells, rituals and other taboo. Once going down the path of this voidal magic, there will be no return in sight, as the mage will take his secrets down into their grave, most commonly with a wooden stake lodged into their chest.

Blood Magic has been around for as long as the not so fictional tales of vampires have been around in Eden. Most of these stories were found in ancient Attian literature, though vampires have existed before the founding of the now fallen Attian Empire.

Tremble, fearful mortals, for the midnight hour chimes.

As the sun sets on the realms of the living, the midnight hosts march out from their lairs to prey on those who dare to enter their territory after dark. As ancient beasts and restless Vampires scour the woods around little towns looking for fresh prey, the watchmen who are there to protect the citizens can do nothing but pray that those who turned to the great houses of the shadow realm do not set their eyes upon them, for they are hopeless against the fangs of steel and knifed claws of the Blood thirsting hosts.

History

The arts of those who call themselves the red mages or vampires have been around as long as most mortal souls can remember. Their cults first appeared in the Attian Empire. There they set their eyes on the courts and positions of power as a vampire feels like they are destined to rule. Yet their curse of endless bloodlust has led to nothing but destruction as the god-king of the Attians swept away their influence in a great flood, leading to the demise of most organised hemomancy activity. The ancient text of the first red cults that were used to convert the first hemomancers have been long gone. Destroyed in the waters of the great floodings. These days, the most common folk tales left behind are that of vampires, striking on dark nights, being sly and steady killers, before vampire hunters came to slay these beasts. It has been a long time since the last vampires were seen, but will they ever return? Or maybe did they ever really go away?


Learning and Teaching

The learning and teaching of the ways of the Hemomancer, is becoming one in its fullest glory. Their training consists of obtaining the full extent of one’s vampirical nature, and living well with the downsides that come with. There are not many things known about these rituals and lessons, but what can be said for certain is that it is the most painful magic to learn. The initiate hemomancer goes through a process of removing their own blood and filling it with the corrupted, voidal blood of the servants of the Midnight Aristocracy.

To reach level one a teacher needs to have at least four sessions with their student, each session being at least sixty minutes long. To obtain level two the student needs to have another four lessons of sixty minutes. To finally reach level three and the ability to teach magic themselves the students need to have another set of four sessions, each with a length of sixty minutes. Each day one session can be held by the teacher/be received by the student. After finally reaching level three the student doesn’t require additional sessions and will reach level four automatically after three weeks of self-studying the magic. Once level four was reached the cooldown is renewed and the mage will reach level five after an additional three weeks. After this, they get to join one of the houses of the Midnight Aristocracy
