[quote=@Flagg] Yes, though religious persecution/a holy war in the (recent?) Past against you by more pious clans or even by a previous high king might be cool. Your clan holding the high kings throne at some point in history might also be interesting. The Reign of Gore/the Heresy of Blood or whatever sounds like it might be a cool historical memory. Also of note, the Gore Lord, whatever it is, is like definitely real and interacts with the world, mostly through Oracle's at the Blood Spring. [/quote] Just out of curiosity, what sort of boons would he grant? Being raided is no problem. Let them come, we enjoy blood. No matter where it comes from. Furthermore, the Reign of Gore/Heresy of Blood (depending on the viewpoint I assume) sounds absolutely awesome. Would give my clan a good reason to start fighting for the throne. Would also fit with my current king. Who had to fight a bloody civil war first, after which he made his own brother be dragged behind his chariot. Only to end him at Blood Spring as a sacrifice for the Gore Lord. Things I was currently thinking off was the idea of tattoos to showcase each warrior's skill, while scars on his arms would indicate how many men he killed. So basically, a heavily tattooed guy with lots of scars = big, big trouble.
