Morr- God of Blood
Lord of Bloodshed
Blood for the Blood God! -Unknown
Morr, known by many ominous titles such as the "Blood God," "Lord of Murder," "Skulltaker," "Consumer of Souls," and "Eater of Millions," stands as a towering figure among the pantheon of deities. As a god of blood, war, rituals, bonds, murder, and sacrifice, Morr represents a realm of relentless and omnipresent power that transcends mortal and divine boundaries.
Morr’s domain is inextricably linked to the flow of blood, which serves as both his source of power and his primary focus. Unlike other gods whose influence might be limited to specific aspects of existence or who are constrained by mortal definitions, Morr's essence is boundless and all-encompassing. Blood, in all its forms—whether from battle, sacrifice, or even the most mundane of activities—fuels him and affirms his dominion over every aspect of violence and life’s most primal forces. His omnipresence in the realms of death, war, and sacrifice ensures that no aspect of existence is untouched by his influence.
Among the myriad of deities, Morr is singular in his lack of a fixed form. Instead of manifesting in physical manifestations like many gods, Morr's presence is a haunting embodiment of blood itself. When he chooses to reveal himself, it is not through a conventional form but through the very essence of his domain. His appearance is conjured from the blood of his victims, manifesting as an imposing figure clad in blackened armor. This armor is not just a physical barrier but a cacophony of suffering and death; it echoes with the screams of the perished and the relentless beating of countless hearts. This manifestation is both a symbol of his immense power and a reminder of the omnipresent nature of his influence.
Morr's supremacy is such that even the Primordial Gods and Celestial Gods acknowledge his might. While many gods might hold sway over specific elements of existence, Morr's power and presence defy mortal and divine limits. He is a deity whose influence permeates every facet of life and death, and his dominion is characterized by the inevitability of bloodshed and the inescapable reality of violence. No Mortals, Immortals, deity, or high god can wholly escape his reach; all are subject to his influence, whether they worship him or not.
In worship, Morr is venerated through acts of bloodshed and sacrifice, and his followers engage in rituals designed to honor and appease him. His worshippers believe that through blood offerings and acts of violence, they are acknowledging and harnessing Morr's supreme power. His omnipresence is a constant reminder that, in his eyes, all actions are intertwined with the flow of blood, making him an ever-present force in both the physical and spiritual realms.
Divine Domains
Morr, the "Blood God," presides over several potent and far-reaching divine domains that encapsulate the breadth of his influence and power. His domains are:
Blood: Morr’s primary and most fundamental domain, blood is both his essence and his power. This domain encompasses every aspect of blood—whether it is spilled in battle, sacrificed in rituals, or shed in the course of life. Blood is the source of Morr's strength, and his influence manifests wherever blood flows, whether in violent conflict, sacrificial rites, or even the simple act of living. His control over blood extends to its symbolic significance as the essence of life and death, embodying both the vitality and the mortality of beings. In truth, this is the only domain of Morr for all the rest result in blood being shed.
War: Morr is intrinsically tied to the nature of warfare. This domain covers not only the physical aspects of conflict but also the strategic, psychological, and ritualistic elements. His influence pervades the chaos of battle, the fervor of combatants, and the consequences of warfare. Morr’s presence in this domain ensures that war is not just a series of skirmishes but a profound manifestation of his will and a testament to his omnipresence in conflict.
Murder: As the "Lord of Murder," Morr presides over all acts of intentional killing. This domain includes both the personal and the political, from individual acts of violence to large-scale purges and assassinations. Morr’s dominion over murder highlights his control over the darkest aspects of human nature, emphasizing the inescapable reality of violence in both personal vendettas and grand schemes.
Sacrifice: Ritual sacrifice is a central component of Morr's worship. This domain encompasses all forms of offering, to the literal shedding of blood. Sacrifices made in Morr’s name are seen as ways to appease or honor him, channeling the power of blood and violence into a form of devotion. This domain also includes the sacrificial aspects of life and death, acknowledging the broader significance of sacrifice beyond mere ritual.

Death and the Afterlife: Morr’s control over death is both a natural extension of his domains of blood and murder and a critical aspect of his divine authority. This domain includes the transition from life to death, the rites of passage, and the influence over souls as they leave the mortal realm. Morr’s presence is felt in the inevitable end of life and the subsequent fate of the soul, reinforcing his role as a god of ultimate power over mortality.
Accidents and Fate: Morr also governs over the random and uncontrollable aspects of existence, such as accidents and the twists of fate that lead to death or violence. This domain acknowledges that blood and violence are not always the result of deliberate actions but can arise from chance and misfortune.

Morr's symbol is typically depicted as an X-shaped rune. Skulls prominently feature in the armor and adornments of Morr's followers, who consider it essential to take heads in battle to be rendered down and worn on their clothing or armor.

Although few animals are directly associated with Morr, his followers often see his presence in fearsome hunting dogs and powerful mastiffs, as well as any creatures that are ravenous or blood-hungry.

Tenets of Faith
Morr demands that his servants spill blood and kill whenever possible. Most of his followers are warriors, but anyone willing to kill without regard for consequences can receive blessings from the Blood God. Morr has no holy days, though his followers often commemorate the anniversaries of particularly bloody battles.
- The greatest prayers are the sounds of splashing blood and crushing bones.
- It is never wrong to kill a servant of Morr, but if done, celebrate the glory that is inherent to the Blood God.
- It is fitting to take trophies of the fallen, and those who adorn themselves with the skulls of their foes and drink the blood of their enemies shall find favour with the Skulltaker.
- Any and all pacifists must be obliterated.
- There is no Mercy.
