Myths & Rumors
Scholars were uncertain as to the exact origin of blood amniotes, with debates split between spontaneous formation or artificial creation through necromantic rituals involving mass sacrifice.

One legend claimed that they inadvertently came about due to the actions of priests of Orcus. The legend stated that the priests unleashed a storm of burning blood against two opposing armies and that from this mass slaughter arose the first blood amniotes.
