Seems they bit off more than they could chew, swallowing the actual blood of a deity as foul as he. They begin sputtering and quivering in the most horrible way, and the multihued light slowly drains out of them, leaving a dark crimson light the color of rusted blood. The devourers then recover from their sickness, filled with a new hunger. No longer satiated by divine energies, they seek out flesh and spirit upon which to feast. Tocarus quickly traps all of them within the 17th layer of the abyss, a fun little playground to dip victims for short spells of time. It's amazing what having your entire essence, flesh and spirit, devoured will do to a person.Tocarus then hears something he hasnt hear in a long time, Mortal voices. Hundreds of them calling upon his favor. The cleric Paelius, though far more secretive and subtle than most of his devout, has manage to subvert an entire nation, and is spreading the word of Tocarus throughout the populace. Converts, actual willing converts, call upon Tocarus, and the religion slowly gains acceptance and public worship can be seen. Opposition is dealt with quickly and quietly by the cunning Paelius, not allowing them the chance for martyrdom, they simply disappear.Tocarus takes heart at this, and commands a great city to be constructed, filled with colloseums, arches, and pyramids, and annointed in the blood of innocents. Sacrifices to Tocarus are made of the purest souls in the country, tortured to the point where they call out for Tocarus, and at this point where they've chosen to travel to Tocarus's realm (opposed to the torture currently received, but nonetheless) they are shown mercy and taken to the alter. Tocarus finally has the pure souls so long missing from his realm, and demons begin springing up like daisies. It won't be long till their ranks are back to full.Tocarus then travels to the plane of shadow, to meet with the new dark god dwelling there. He slugs Umbryn in the face before laughing. "I like you. You are very ambitious. But, I learned the hard way the dangers of facing the lord of death and a coalition of good. To face such a coalition, we should form an alliance ourselves. I created the way of the Tienkou (maybe not entirely true, but gods can boast) and would be of great boon to you in fighting it. In return, I want to share in the spoils of course. Two demands do I have to begin with. First, your star shall not encroach upon those mortals corrupted by mine, after all, why feast upon your own troops  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> . Second, I shall receive a portion of the souls that are garnered by the star. What say you?"</blockquote>
