I felt strangely compelled to send an ask for some reason. Anyway...
So, the invader in the roundtable, Alberich, do you think he would fit in with the Mohgwyn Empire? I mean, he isnt a bloody finger but he uses bleed. Or do you think he's just doing his own thing?
Good question! If I remember correctly, he uses thorn based sorcery, his glintstones are red; made from blood sacrifices. This links him to the Blood Star which isn't exactly an "outer god" but I well believe is connected to if not directly related to the Formless Mother. Ones who plunges themselves into eternal darkness by gouging their eyes with thorns were able to see The Red Star. Blood sorcery also scales with faith rather than intelligence which also kinda has the Blood Star also still very much an entity rather than the more abstract concept.
Full head canon mode; I think the Blood Star is a fraction of the Formless Mother, you basically have to suffer in darkness to see her, and even then the only form you are able to make out is a "red star" almost like when you look through a pin hole to a bright light and it burns your retina but more gruesome.
While not "serving" or "joining" directly with the Dynasty, Alberich before going mad was described as Aloof and Disturbed. I feel given the chance to pursue the study of blood sorcery through the Formless Mother I think he would join, not in a faith based way but a more so academic research way. I don't believe he would worship it but there would still be high interest in what all can be gained from exploring this path
Thank you so much for asking by the way! I wonder what could have compelled you so suddenly how strange ❤️
