Oath of Heroism seems like it would work really well with a Blood of Vol character since they both focus on drawing strength and divinity from within rather than from a god.

The mark of death has passed from this world. But while the line of Val was eliminated by the elves a 1000 years ago, The Queen of the dead has conducted experiments designed to return the mark to the world.

@Deathven1482 4 года назад

Honestly so excited since Eberron came out again. I’ve only lightly splashed in this but I soooo wanna run a campaign

I’m currently doing a one shot that’ll lead into a further campaign once my group is done with Descent into Avernus involving Arandis. Basically a group of mercenaries have to protect a box and bring it in a lightning rail to the king of Karrnath. In it is a baby with the mark of death, but it doesn’t use it’s power as much. The characters of course don’t know there’s a baby there and a dragon with an army of elves are trying to hijack the train. The characters will find out and can choose many options of how to deal with it. (Also I was preparing it a week before the mandalorian came out)

@phantom31017 Год назад

I’m working on a character that’s a Wildfire Druid from Cyre. The Mourning awakened his Mark of Death and allowed him to survive, albeit with some necromantic consequences. He’s survived purely off of Goodberries for the past 7 years and the Fog has taken such a toll on his body that he resembles the Undead more than the living.

I had a Blood of Vol Life Cleric. My family were a bunch of immortality seekers, Cult of Life types. Dad almost attained lich-dom, Mom blead Elves dry to discover the secrets of their long lifespans, and bro was able to transfer consciousness into new bodies. My Life Cleric-ness was more about savagely staving off death to preserve the spark of divinity within us more than actually saving people. Good times.

One of my player's has chosen to play a Blood Hunter, which I was struggling to find a way to fit into Eberron until I learned about the Blood of Vol.

@InquisitorThomas 4 года назад

Could a Warforged be a cleric of the Blood of Vol despite not having blood?

@Jorphdan 4 года назад

I think it would make for an interesting character!

@greygramarye7872 4 года назад

Sure, because they do have blood. It’s just not standard red blood. They have a series of alchemical fluids. And it can be demonstrated that Warforged have souls, via other magic. So however it happened and whatever it means, a Warforged could absolutely believe it has a spark of the divinity within.

@warmwaterpenguin 4 года назад

Certainly! Now whether the average Seeker would accept them or believe they had a soul with a divine spark is... well up to your DM!

@89warden 4 года назад

Even with no blood, a warforged could achieve a status similar of the vampires: believers that will never ascend, but their work shall help those who can.

@rhyderrek6155 2 года назад

They have that weird bio-fluid in them don’t they? I’d say that’s fairly analogous to blood. Besides, the faith may look at as: “look how powerful we mortals are that we can create a soul that does not need blood!”

@mathieu7921 4 года назад

You should put a spoiler tag on your video. Most of this information shouldn't be known to players, and most people on Khorvaire know nothing of Erandis and her behind the curtain influence over the Blood of Vol or the Emerald Claw organisation.

@cola980 3 года назад

Thank you for the campaign idea! first of all, love your content. But I made an awesome campaign where the heroes, working for the Silver Flame, have to take down Erandis for her inhuman resurrections. Hesitantly having to revive her mother to find the Phylactery. And leading up to an awesome fight with Erandis, and the Emerald claw. Who was resurrected by Erandis in the middle of her studies of necromancy to power her mark of death. Probably TLDR, but thank you for your hard work!

Never got to finish my eberron campaign where I was a Elf Blood Mangus..🤔🤔 never underwent "The BloodTouched Rite" or glimpsed The Night Claw deep beneath the city of Atur in Karrnath.

@brightglory5734 4 года назад

Is the PH part of Eberron's pantheon? Is that why it remains silent?

@somethowawayhandle 2 года назад

Thanks for correcting and doing a whole video on the superior religion of Eberron - Blood of Vol!

@childesinthev.761 4 года назад

Odd that it sparked a war, in the general D&D multiverse dragons tend to breed on rare occasions with... pretty much everything really.

@InquisitorThomas 4 года назад

1. Eberron is not like the general D&D multiverse, it’s one of the more disconnected settings. 2. It’s kinda a misunderstanding that the Dragons killed Erandis Vol BECAUSE she’s a Half Dragon, in Keith Baker’s Podcast “The Manifest Zone” he said that Dragons find Half-Dragons weird, but they aren’t genocidal towards half dragons, the issue hey had with Erandis is the fact that she was specifically bred to have a Super Powerful Dragonmark that would have given her almost godlike power.

@tristaninman9977 4 года назад

Inquisitor Thomas made some good points, and I'd like to add; 3. The Dragons were *super* afraid of her because she was a supposedly ill-fated prophecy child, and they take the draconic prophecies very seriously

@jacksmith4006 3 года назад

Love Erandis Vol and The emerald claw (I’m coming from Dungeons and dragons online)

How do you make that work since warforged dont technically have blood? Curious because I was thinking of playing a warforged barbarian following the teachings of the blood of vol.

@digunder14 4 года назад

honestly am curious if a warforged would be a valid follow for this given they have souls but not blood but rather a substance that functions as blood?

@ThingsStuffington 3 года назад

It would probably be a point of contention within the faith whether the substitute counts as blood or not for the spiritual purposes of the faith, but a warforged could be a Seeker regardless. Essentially, even if they lack the Divinity Within, they could still work to help others in the congregation cultivate it, akin to how the religion's undead martyrs are supposed to work.

@Scortch-lo3xy 4 года назад

@booley 4 года назад

Except for the Lords of Dust very few organizations in Ebberon are inherently evil. Most of their villains tend to have justifications (even as their actions are obviously wrong)

@TheEldritchGoth 4 года назад

Keith Baker says they’re evil, I’m personally inclined to follow his words but he also said that his idea of Eberron was not entirely canon

@InquisitorThomas 3 года назад

Source? Because yes the Blood of Vol was classified evil back when Eberron was initially introduced back in 3e, but they’ve gotten increasingly nuanced as time has gone on, followers of the Blood of Vol have a tendency to be a bit abrasive, but Keith typically doesn’t treat a religion in setting as evil unless they’re a cult dedicated to human sacrifices to please an evil alien entity (Cults of the Dragon Below) or are a secret front by an evil conspiracy of Dream Demons trying to enslave the entire world (Path of Inspiration). Are you conflating the Emerald Claw, which is the terrorist organization that works for Lady Vol with the Blood of Vol in its entirety?

@TheEldritchGoth 3 года назад

@@InquisitorThomas I can’t find the article I was referencing at the time, but through a little research I found a Dragonmark from 2017 about more recent opinions on the Blood of Vol, that sheds this sort of light on them. Either his opinion has changed since the article I originally read or I misinterpreted that article in the first place, so I’m inclined to believe you.

Meanwhile praying to a dragon, fire, non-existent being or undead elf giving you super-powers makes complete and total sense? What about waving your hands around and saying magic words giving your super-powers?
