Vampirism - as the Lords Sanguine could tell you - has different forms and severities. Bloodwretches are allergic to sunlight and thirst for blood, but receive no strength, speed or grace from their dark curse. They can be satisfied with ‘rosewater’, a jelly synthesised from animal blood, viscera and fat as well as sugars and salts in rough proportion as they are found in human blood.
This dependence makes bloodwretches pliable, which is why they are used in Jahur’s armies and manufactories, but each craves more than anything else to suck on the blood of the living.
Hooks
- What else are bloodwretches used for?
- Have any broken free? How do they live?
- What is the origin of the bloodwretch?
- Yet another hint that the Lords Sanguine are associated with vampirism. Are they vampires, or are there merely parallels? Different vessels, same source? Old blood in new wineskins?
