Adventures in Arcadayn
Bloodletter Cults
By Tim Emrick


Drumagira is the goddess of war and pain, existing only to promote and participate in bloody battle. Her religion is divided along national lines in Arcadayn--the following regions have separate cults which compete with the cults of other nations:

National CultSymbol
CorsairiaBlood-red pirate's banner
Desert Men (Horse Tribe)Bay horse
HaldinibarCrossed sword & cudgel
Krithian EmpireCrossed spear & sword
Hold of LisCrossed mace & whip
RiversmidstCrossed axe & hammer
VisalaTwo crossed swords

The Bloodletter's cultists are exclusively warriors who worship her in order to insure victory and to gain honor in battle. They may simply exist within a conventional military unit or may form their own separate armies of fanatics led by war-priests. The clerics learn many martial arts (both mundane combat skills and divine battle-magic), train warriors, teach tactics and record battles.

The holiest day of the year for this cult is the Festival of Berserkers, held on the night of the Blood Moon (18 Heatblight), a total lunar eclipse.
