Bretself the Translator tells you, "Will wonders never
cease? This book was difficult because of the damage wrought upon it. As
well the text itself was written in a variation of Dericost, akin to that of
the Gelid."

The Blood of the World flows
quickly beneath this land. Once, our ancestors in darkness, called upon the
blood by a name. Now we, an order outside the sway of any other call
directly to the blood, for the life that it is. It heeds our call like the
tree obeys the wind, and coalesces into beings that command an aspect of the
whole.
Now, we place to parchment, instructions to siphon
these beings from the essence of the Blood of the World, and set them to our
tasks, to our goals. Our desire is to punish those that took our people into
slavery, and created crime upon crime to charge them.
We shall not fail. For it is the blood of the righteous. Our truths shall
purge the Yalaini from the world, and bring again the reign of the Gelid.
Words of Warning
There is a tenuous peace that exists with the disciples of the Blood of the
World and the constructers of the Great Work. We are brethren tied by life,
and essence, but we are enemies; thought a cult, whose meddling with the
powers of Geomancy, will prove the undoing of all that there is.
They have likened us to the reign of the one that cannot be named. Having
listened to the whispers from the Blood itself, seeking to join with it,
rather than prove its master.
Our ancient mothers, and fathers, sing from the blood, but their chorus is
one that beckons only to fools. For we have seen the dark folly that befalls
those that become thrall to the machination of the Blood. We are steeled
against its call, and choose to harness it, not to obey.
We will pull from the blood, the essence of its parts, and go to the Throne
with bloody swords in hand, to rip the throat from the usurper, ending his
reign of deceit and cruelty and freeing the memory of our kin.
We have found, what alliance with them can bring, and now we are no more
that the dust, and bones, like our brother kin the Dericost.
Take heed, that we have translated these words and writings with the
greatest of care, but even the scope of our great ancestors, the priestesses
of darkness, cannot fully be known even to those who hear the Blood of the
World sing.
We know only what we know, and tread with due caution into the unknown.
Blood of the World
(Taken from a Falatacot Tome)
It sings;
can you not hear it,
in the brush, in the water,
in the seething boils of putrid earth flesh.
It calls,
beckons that we sing it's praise
and call it forth to bubble o'er the earth
in heavy waves.
The Blood of the World, given form.
Blood of the World
(Disciple Translation)
Beneath the earth within the focal points established when our ancient
mothers and fathers tread in the shadow, thrust from their homes, the voice
of the Blood of the World called to them. There they erected pillars to
signify the voice that they heard.
At these places hold an important key to the construction and support of the
minions, that will bring the Yalaini low.
Our search for the remaining focal points has begun. Then the construction
of the collection devices will begin.
