"Blood carries greater power than mortals may think. Does the blood of the Archons not carry their essence? Do we not use blood as payment for our magic? Blood is where the soul resides! And so, we drink, to fill the void within. For the Gift of the Old Blood demands souls to sacrifice... And we have long spent our own."
-The Blood Emperor Eternal
