[00:03] Let me explain. Our first piece of evidence is that the blood fiends are able to drop string, which in its description mentions it is often carried [music] by demihumans. Indeed, demihumans are the only other enemy that
[00:17] drops it. Then there's another item that mentions demihumans. It's the alluring pot. It conjures a pale shadow that will lure [music] and distract humans outside of combat. and it specifies that demihumans will be lured in even during
[00:33] combat. Of course, this works exactly as [music] is claimed against demihumans, but it works against blood fiends as well. Therefore, the two species are clearly related. So, when the realm of shadow diverged from the lands [music]
[00:50] between, I speculate that their clan was cut off from the wider demihuman population. Then the formless mother hid in the shadow of their ancestor and drew them into her embrace. Credit to user Rajko on Reddit who came up with this
