Clarifications on the Bloodborn & Underworld Ties
- Origin: Spawned from a proto-underworld god named Kaala-Ratna, once a fallen deity cast out by the Trideva for seeking immortality through blood and death.
- Bloodborn vs. Asura Rituals: The Bloodborn’s blood-soaked rites are similar to ancient Asura traditions, but are corrupted. This mimicry creates fear and confusion.
- Vishaara’s Role: Her ambition blinds her to the god’s deception—Kaala-Ratna uses her as a vessel to become manifest.
- Divine Weakness:
- Vishnu's Sharvamantra: A chant that weakens the curse.
- Shiva's Storm Dance: Invokes destructive purification.
- Brahma’s Sigil Shrines: Seal regions from Bloodborn intrusion.
Would you like me to draft Chapter 1: The Rakta Purnima Festival in a novel-style format next? Or would you prefer a visual world map, kingdom sigils, or character portraits for Vajradanta, Vishaara, etc.?
