Here is an idea, although it is farfetched. It is based on what is
said in Havens of the Great Bay. In this expansions it said that some
sahaguin became blooded after slaying a scion. Normally this isn't possible,
as only scions can commit bloodtheft, so I thought up of the following blood
ability (more like a curse though) to explain this phenomena. It also
explains why when some awnsheghlien are slain their slayers suddenly become
awnsheghlien themselves (like the Minotaur).
Migrant Blood Minor
Derivations: all
This regent can suffer bloodtheft from any individual blooded or
not.If the slayer is unblooded then he gains one bloodline point, this
ability as a minor ability, and a tainted bloodline of this derivation. If
the slayer is a blooded scion then he gains this ability and the victims
derivation (any blood abilityies now uncompatible with the scion's
derivation are re rolled).
This bloodability may seem more like a curse, but that is only one
way to look at it. In fact it makes sure the bloodline to which it belongs
will never die out. It benefits the line as opposed to the individual
belonging to it.
Any way, this means that when scions with this ability are slain by
sahaguin then the bloodlines move into the ocean, where it will
naturalyspread through the maritime races as they war with each other. With
time the line will cross the ocean and, when a blooded sahaguin raids a
coastal town, back on to land, preferably on another continent. Again, the
blooded regents would gain power and be able to establish domains and
holdings (although magic would work differently). These regents would be
able to use their RP to expand their bloodlines and voila! bloodlines in
other realms.
This of course leads to another idea. Under sea domains should also
develope. I wonder what these would be like... and how much source would
they have?
