Humans: Goldblood Species in Tethys | World Anvil

Humans: Goldblood

The Goldblood Humans are mainly connected to their great empire of Divine Empire. They hail from the northeastern part of the Old World, wherein the Third Age, Kingdoms their god, the Divine King spoke to them and allowed his people to drink from his blood in the event known as Founding of Blood, thus the Goldblood Humans were born. While their physical features remain the same, their golden blood has an effect on their skin. Whenever angry or sick, their skin will turn into an unnatural, yellow hue as they do not have red blood. Whenever they bleed, it will look like gold is pouring out of their veins. It is identical to normal blood, however, it is very important to the Goldblood Humans. As their families might lose this trait when mixing with other races or even other human variations (the latter forming the Halfblood Humans). The more their genes are diluted with other humans, the more red color will be seen between the droplets of gold. Blood means everything for a Goldblood, thus many very important deals are signed in blood or whenever they make an oath, they make a blood oath, spilling their blood.  

On Tethys

While the Goldblood lost their continent-spanning empire after the Fourth Age, The Calamity, they still have a great empire in the Old World. The Goldbloods can be found in many places, almost always in the leadership roles as their blood is magical and the words they speak seem to tend to be true, thus they make great generals and public speakers. Their fixation on blood makes them unease around Halfbloods and those that do not treat them with the respect they deserve. By many thought to be the most arrogant race or at least variation of humans.
