The Blood of Vol is a decentralized religion practised throughout the Five Nations, though it is primarily found in Karrnath, where it was once the state religion. It worships no external higher power, but rather reveres the divinity within one's own blood.

The faith's primary tenets are:

• Everyone has a spark of divinity. Find that power within.
• Death is the end, Dolurrh 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.
• Life is pain, a ceaseless struggle against hunger, disease, and despair. Every day we're one step closer to the grave, and all that lies beyond is Dolurrh and the disintegration of the soul. What just god would create such a world? What benevolent Sovereign would condemn their creations to such misery?

But what if mortality is something that can be overcome? Perhaps we all have a spark of divinity within us, a spark that can become a force to rival the Silver Flame. Perhaps one day we can end the cycle of death and misery, so all can live long enough to find their divinity within. Until then, the best we can do is to hold our family and friends close, defy cruel fate, and fight to live as long as we can.

This is the message of the Blood of Vol. Life is suffering and death is annihilation, but you can defy this cruel fate—and perhaps even break the cycle for good.
