Legatan, Herald of Blood

Lord of blood magic, Legatan works with his mortal compatriot, The Blood Scrivener, to begin the rituals of blood.
The stirring speeches of his followers proclaim that the end times are fast approaching, and his followers must prepare for a bloody reckoning. Behind his charismatic preaching, Legatan serves forgotten gods that demand blood sacrifices, especially dark druid orders devoted to human hunts and the murder of innocents. They have the power to grant strength, lust, and vitality—or to wither those who cross them.
In their true form, which they keep hidden except in battle, heralds of blood are swirling vortexes of blood, bone, and raw magical power. They feed on leyline magic and the black blood of the earth as much as on flesh and blood.
