[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 7488996, member: 907"] Point of order: Vol is not the focus of worship for the Blood of Vol. She's more of a revered figure. If you'll excuse the parallells to Christianity, Vol is not their equivalent of God/Jesus - she's their equivalent of Paul or Moses, as a revered figure responsible for teaching the flock. The core tenet of the Blood of Vol is that blood is divinity. So every living being that has blood in their veins has a spark of divinity in them, but to prevent mortals from reaching their full potential the gods have inflicted mortality on them, and cursed them to have their souls waste away on the plane of Dollurh. Only by exploring the Divinity Within can a person escape that fate, by creating their own afterlife or possibly ascending to godhood. Intelligent undead have abandoned their chances of godhood/a self-created paradise in order to escape death, so they are seen as people who have made a terrible sacrifice in order to guide the flock.
