[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 8567967, member: 25818"] I feel like people don't understand the Blood of Vol; they've bought into the Silver Flame "they worship undead!" nonsense. If the gods exist, and the world continues to be the terrible place it is for people (the Last War just ended, and some politicians want to heat it right back up again) then either they are incapable of making the world a better place or they actively want the world to be terrible; in either case, the gods are unworthy of worship. The "afterlife" they offer is, by the description in their own holy books, a depressing, terrible grey waste where people eventually forget their old lives to be born anew into the cycle of suffering. The Blood of Vol has discovered ways to prevent people's souls from going to that hellish afterlife promised by the Sovereign Host. You can continue to exist in your own body and never die! And what do the Sovereign Host do about this? Do they celebrate this fantastic achievement of mortal ingenuity, research, and drive? No, they empower their priests to [I]destroy those who have avoided their afterlife[/I]. This is basically a Dick Move on the part of the gods. The constant persecution of the Blood of Vol has driven them underground, where they are forced to associate with morally questionable individuals just to survive. Is it any wonder some become terrorists? They were persecuted just for wanting to avoid Dolurrh! [/QUOTE]
