Dear Diary,
There are approximately 472 ways to decapitate a human.
Only 398 work on an Elf
Interestingly, the messier ones you get better distance with elf gore than you do with human gore.
Don’t bother practicing decapitations on mongrels. It’s just not that interesting. It’s ok to decapitate them, encouraged even, they’re just on the boring side.
If you decapitate a shamani clean your sword right away. Sticky matted fur on your blade is Not Fun(tm).
Followers of The Twins have, on average, 1.025 times more blood in their neck than followers of Garguth of similar weight
An elven body can be drained of blood in 7.9 seconds given adequate ritual preparation. That’s .7 seconds faster than the equivalent human.
It is a well known fact that human blood has a slightly metallic taste. What is not commonly known is that elven blood has a slightly grape flavor, leading it to be good for producing wines. Mongrel blood, on the other hand, has a more.. earthy… aftertaste. Shamani blood, as expected, tastes like chicken.
The average undead can continue to unlive even after it’s been drained of 3 pints of blood. At 3.1 pints, however, the undead falls over and mumbles about brains.
Shard blood smells very much like the stuff that’s inside a heart.
In a pinch, when dying due to blood loss, the missing fluid can be replaced with camel urine. It doesn’t happen to save the victim, but it does happen to be hilarious.
It is not recommended to substitute blood for urine when dealing with snacking undead. While hilarious, once they’re done spitting they usually try to eat your brains.
Many cultures practice various rituals using blood as either a component, catalyst or because they feel like it. Only three tribes in the southeastern end of seragul practice rituals involving urine, and of those only one believes that feces carry any amount of mystical power.
There are several shamani tribes that practice cacafu, the ancient art of throwing feces. Of these, the kewrrahpahphleenggah tribe is the most deadly. They can, however, easily be avoided as they can be detected at great range.
While many different rituals utilize various body parts, only one known ritual involves the use of the gall bladder. It’s function is primarily to make a tart, lemon flavored boot wax that gives the wearer the ability to detect the presence of shouting tree snails within fifteen feet. This ability can, of course, only be used once per day.
Love,
Bard
