*The Feral King controls the northern corner of the darkened earth, the Blood Empress controls the south, and the east is under the Sway of Erus. Once a social worker named Eric Lee, Erus was a religious man who avoided most of the 9th plague, and the Devoted that came from that plague, by escaping into the wilderness and using that time to grow stronger in his faith. But even isolation and nature are no safety from the arrival of the Old One and the darkness that that ancient evil brings. Eric is attacked yet survives only to find himself a vampire with an unquenchable need to drink. This breaks him since Eric was unwavering in his peaceful approach to life, living without the desire to fight as he thought his faith had instructed. But now he kills, an awful nightmare he cannot escape until he realizes that in draining life from others he is, in a way, taking desire and will from a body to leave it the nirvana of nothing he has so longed to reach himself. In his insanity, he thinks himself a new god, some being instantly giving enlightenment and peace to all he kills. He is Erus, and death by his hand is the only blessing he believes is left in the darkened earth [AI Art]*
