description: Scourges of swamps and damp, abandoned places, bloodseekers are ravenous
|
||
|
blood drinkers. Farmers curse the creatures for sucking their livestock dry. It
|
||
|
is from such beleaguered people that the bloodseeker's regional name "stirge," possibly
|
||
|
a corruption of the word "scourge," comes. Folk wisdom holds that the appearance
|
||
|
of bloodseekers in a region signals a healthy herd of livestock, but more often
|
||
|
it means bogs or old buildings that haven't been properly tended to. Certainly,
|
||
|
no amount of folksy parable can assuage a farmer driven to destitution by a bloodseeker
|
||
|
infestation. But despite their role as parasites, bloodseekers aren't hated by all
|
||
|
villages. In some cases, the inhabitants of remote backwoods thorps even keep the
|
||
|
things as pets or use them as doubtful medicinal "tools" to drain away unwanted
|
||
|
humors or test for evil spirits possessing the blood. Worshippers of gods of pestilence
|
||
|
and parasites often view bloodseekers as sacred to their faith and allow the creatures
|
||
|
to feed freely from their bodies. In such societies, those who accidentally give
|
||
|
too much are considered to have been "blessed" by the village's hungry god.
