[NightShade]

---

Nightshade opened the book and she was estatic here under the ancient tomes of this dark and aged library she had finally found the information she sought.

Opening the book up she read what may be the answer to years of work,

The Blood Lich, or Sangrolu is truly an abomination; a merging of the lich and the vampire. Legends of the sangrolu's' creation abound in the tomes of long-dead sages, but most of them agree that the first sangrolu was a vampire who wanted to escape the bounds of the night and forever leave the dominion of Kanchelsis, the God of vampires.
Sangrolu are created when a vampire creates a variant of the black potion used to turn a mortal wizard into a lich, and drinks it. (See Ecology, below) Vampires that imbibe this dark potion must still succeed a System Shock check, as must
a mortal. However, failure does not indicate death, but rather an eternal curse of decay that can only be slowed by the ingestion of blood.
Thus, there are two types of sangrolu, Broken and Whole. Whole sangrolu are possibly the most powerful and sophisticated undead. They retain their previous vampiric appearance, and do not have the appearance of walking corpses. Broken sangrolu are horrid creatures of tight, rotted flesh shot through with fat, black veins and exposed yellowing bones. They are even more horrible than the typical lich, for the broken sangrolu are forever cursed to decay, with only the blood of mortals to hold back the inevitable.
Broken sangrolu decompose rapidly,The only way to hold back the rot is to drink blood...However, even when fed, a broken sangrolu is a monster with tight, wrinkled flesh and burning yellow eyes.
All sangrolu in their natural forms continuously emit a thick mist from their bodies that trails behind them when they move. The mist is heavier than air, and slowly falls from their bodies and washes across the ground like a ghostly waterfall. The mist eventually dissipates, but it adds a distinct, haunting aura to the creature. The mist is supernatural in origin, and is not affected by wind, or even submersion.
Like vampires, sangrolu make absolutely no noise when they move, even if they tread on dry leaves or broken glass.

She shoved the book in her pack to quickly bring it to barl...Someday she would be ready...
