the blood pact
Mythology & Lore
Once in a forgotten time, the Sil-Sankres were only mere Elnumels, without any other trait than being of grey skin. Then they started venerating demons, asking for help to heal their degenerative blood. One of them answered their call: Samaï, the lord of contracts and pacts, master of the blood will. He bargained with the race that would become the vampires, and offered them a form of immortality, their blood became a weapon, and their will, an ink to modify the world.
Since then, the five demon lords became their masters. However, one day one of these lords became renegade and tried to break this contract. Abadaï the traitor dropped his mask, showing his true intention, totally maddened by his own power, the void, he had to be condemned. Since then, the void became a taboo, and those who pray Abadaï became traitors.
Divine Origins
After the fall, like all religions, the demon lords became real, and the power that were asked by the Sil-sankre has been granted, in the form of a contract with Samaï the lord of pacts and blood will.
Worship
There is no need to actually worship the demons, but invoking them to bargain can be done, however at the risk of the client. However, focussing on one demon may allow his specific power to be improved. (Ie a vampire of blood will may have more powerful blood by praying Samaï)
Priesthood
There is no priesthood for the five demon lords, everyone is somehow a priest, as every individual from birth to death, is engaged in contract with Samaï for the power of their blood.
