Icuth-os

The Icuth-os as a unique selection of elves that abandoned their traditional pantheon and took up the worship of a Baarn divine, this took the shape of the man who led the elven rebellion many years prior to the attack against the retreating dynasty. This splinter group went after to avenge Zhanshi and upon their failure to fight the new orc dynasty they were blessed by Zhanshi, calling him Ju-Dosh meaning the Gladiator King. With the only place to live they roam the sands as wanderers without a place to permanently settle.
Resembling an elf, just taller than a Liren, skin most commonly in shades of red but the tones change depending on the colour of blood in the skin. Their skin has a unique ability to absorb any blood it gets in contact with, this causes them to enter a reckless but precise state of mind allowing for greater effectiveness in combat. The newborns adopt a smaller tone from their parents, it is possible for a whole range of different colours to emerge and if no blood absorption is done for a few generations you get a light grey skin tone. Eyes are generally in dull shades of every colour except red, orange and pink.
Their ability to absorb blood to enhance their abilities also has an effect if blood is drawn from the caster, by engraving arcane runes across their body a more unique and potent type of magic can be used. This technique of blood casting is kept secret by most tribes with only a select few honoured individuals been taught it.
They live mostly as tribes wandering the desert of Sembar, with four distinct tribes though there are smaller splinter groups. The main group consist of Crimson Nativity, Sapphire Massacre, Ichor Orison and Pale Relinquish
