A New Era Belonging to the Children of the Moon (8,000-word update, please vote!)

As Prince Siya Erduo himself had said.

When the prophecy had drawn this close, advance warning had already lost its meaning. Honey Badger and Fenrir, one frowning deeply and the other drenched in sweat, had discussed the matter for a long time, yet still failed to find a way to break the deadlock.

Because the situation before them looked, on the surface, like the Sima family murdering the emperor in the street.

But in reality, it could also be said to be the will of Heaven.

The current ruler of the Narcissus Principality, like the Red Fort Faction in Astyn, was a Child of the Moon from the Banquet Master Faction.

The so-called Banquet Master Faction was also the Hedonist Faction. After all, the Banquet Master was the God of Banquets and Pleasure, while also holding sway over alcohol and frenzy.

They advocated remaining aloof and independent. As long as they could indulge themselves, they would not interfere in anything. They would not deliberately persecute anyone, start wars, or enact laws... As long as there were enough Blood Slaves and enough wealth to squander, that was enough. They were a purely selfish faction.

The Child of the Moon in Iris, on the other hand, belonged to the Blood Angel Faction—the most powerful faction of all, because they could indeed easily pray to the Blood Angel for divine spells. In other words, every Child of the Moon in Iris possessed considerable spellcasting ability.

But the Blood Angel craved flesh-and-blood sacrifices.

He was the God of Sadism, as well as the God of Thirst and Suffering.

Children of the Moon who worshiped the Blood Angel grew thirsty more easily than those who followed other faiths. When their craving for blood was not satisfied, they also became more violent and suffered more intensely.
