Kanchelsis

Kanchelsis is the deity of blood, debauchery, magic and vampirism.
He is mostly worshiped by Vampires, a small portion of Drow (popular among male Drow), and the power-hungry. Kanchelsis lives in the Lair of the Beast & Mansion of the Rake on the 487th layer of the Abyss.

Common Myths and Legends

Long ago, in the eldest of days, the gods sacrificed their own blood to create the world. Divine blood was directed by divine will to bring continents, mountains, and whole races into being. Something went terribly wrong, however, when the sacrifice of the Seldarine mingled with the blood of the nameless creator of humanity. The resulting creation combined the beauty and agelessness of the elder elves and the hunger and ambition of humans, becoming known as Kanchelsis, the first Vampire. The elven gods will not speak of this myth, or explain how their good intentions could have gone so awry. It's been hypothesized that some elder evil corrupted the elven magic at a critical moment.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

Kanchelsis takes on two different forms: The Rake and The Beast
The Rake, his preferred form, resembles a slim, elegant, seductive human or half-elf with long, slender hands, finely-chiseled features, and a friendly smile. He is always dressed immaculately. This is the more elegant side of vampirism, savoring blood as mortal sophisticates might savor wine. He is a charismatic seducer, a lover of high fashion, debauchery, and art.
The Beast resembles a wild-eyed, tousle-headed human male with powerful muscles and taloned claws. He is excessively hairy. He is a wild creature, the personification of the wild beast that rages inside all vampires. He runs with wolves and tears out throats, drinking as much blood as he can swallow.
