Moshran is the Blood God of several blood-thirsty orcish war-tribes and he takes living sacrifices. His altars are often drenched in blood. His followers are few but evil beings. Their rituals are always bloody. Sometimes, an evil orc shaman or warlord prays to Moshran, telling the other orcs of the tribe to sacrifice to the god under another name. Moshran priests often hide their identities, because they are sure to be attacked by more righteous men. Evil necromancers call Moshran the Bone Lord, because he grants them knowledge and power – for a horrible price. Unlike the followers of Cherga, they are not satisfied with immortality – they want power in eternity. Moshran teaches only the most worthy and powerful evil ones his dark, ruthless and unholy rituals.
When a follower of Moshran dies, Moshran will count the numbers of that ones victims and his effectivity. If the person was worthy enough, he will perhaps be sent back as a powerful undead (most are slain by some powerful heroes), but if not, he enslaves the soul to do minor services. Some of these servants have become powerful demon-like creatures over time, and proved worthy to roam the world again, or have become Moshran's helpers. Amongst his helpers are always intrigues and plans to overthrow the ones in a higher position.
The souls of those who fail Moshran are forfeit. It is said that he will brand them with his claws of death marking them as his alone. They may try to hide or seek protection, but to no avail. He doesn't search for them as time plays in his hands. Eventually they will stand in front of him and their soul will be tortured in eternity to give pleasure to the Blood God.
