Bloody Amara

• Subfaction: Blood Cultists
• Leader: Bloody Amara
Unlike the rest of the Dark Crusade, who long to pass over the boundary of life to embrace eternal undeath, the blood cultists cling to life for as long as possible by stealing the life force of others. Long answering to the powerful necromancers of the deathspeakers, the followers of the blood goddess have now uncovered lost secrets of their ancient faith allowing them to awaken the legendary Bloody Amara. With the support of his power and powerful spells of their own, the blood cultists are finally becoming a power in their own right– and may soon answer only to themselves.

Bloody Amara is a legendary being venerated by the Blood Cultists. He is very potent in Necromantic magic and can bestow his power upon his followers.

While the origins of The Breaking are shrouded in mystery, it is spoken in hushed whispers and knowing glances that it may have been the Blood Cultists who were responsible for the cataclysm and the resulting chaos that ensued. Evidence exists that the Cultists finally succeeded in their ancient quest to awaken the dark god Amara who repaid his followers by unleashing his might upon the land.

Believed to be the strongest of the known Mage Knights, Arythea has emerged from the chaos more powerful than ever and has spread Amara’s bloody gospel as she crushes her foes under her spiked heel. Under her leadership, the Blood Cultists have slipped the bonds of their former masters in the Dark Crusade and have become a power unto themselves; feared by many and respected by all. No one knows where Arythea will strike next but one thing is certain, the bloody god Amara has directed her to participate in the Council of the Void’s plans and will be pleased with her conquests and the proliferation of his teachings.
