The Blood of Vol

The Blood of Vol cult attracts followers fascinated by death and the undead. The most dedicated of these revere an ancient lich who calls herself Vol, Queen of the Dead. The Blood flows into the distant past, through the earliest days of human civilization on Khorvaire, to the elf kingdom of Aerenal, and even to Xen'drik, the continent of secrets.
Because of its association with necromancy and the undead, many people believe that the Blood of Vol embraces death and that its followers wish to become undead. Neither of these things are true. The Seekers of the Divinity Within (as the faithful call themselves) don’t revere the undead; they believe that once someone has died you might as well put the corpse to use. But the spark of divinity is tied to both blood and soul, and the Seekers believe that the undead can never fully harness its power. The vampires and mummies of the Blood of Vol have sacrificed their chance at divinity in order to guide and protect the living. They’re martyrs, not something to envy.
Public opinion of the Blood of Vol is often colored by the actions of the Order of the Emerald Claw. Most Seekers have no love for the Emerald Claw and don’t support its actions.

Tenets of Faith

• Each one of us has a spark of divinity within our blood and our spirit. Find that power within.
• Death is the end, Dolurrh, the Realm of the Dead is oblivion, and if the gods exist they are cruel. Stand with those you care for; all we have is this life and each other.
