The Bloodborn are the first Consanguine guild of Sapience, taking a step away from the status of undead Houses to that of an official guild. Otherwise known as the Blood Magi, the Bloodborn draw upon hidden powers of the Blood through arcane rituals only known to them. They delve dangerously into taboo arts of blood experimentation, through which are uncovered many latent sources of magic within the blood.

The Bloodborn have also been dubbed the "Reborn", for it is believed that these undead sages are an entirely different breed of Consanguine. They are feared for their uses of Hematurgy, in contrast to the mastery over the Blood bond, Sanguis, which conventional Consanguine learn.

Sorcerers in their own regard, power comes from their knowledge of the blood and how this power may be unlocked through the use of hemic rituals. Failure is not an option, for the price to pay is great. Mastery over these often complicated rituals is just as rewarding, however, for they are rumoured not only to slough off disadvantages inherited from undeath, but enhance the perfection over body and mind.

Corpus and Mentis are the two skills that the Blood Magi retain from their roots, and it is through these skills that they hone not only the body to a state of grace and immortality, but their ability to drive deadly maladies deep into the minds of their prey.

The Bloodborn are rumoured to be a group of elitists, even among the ranks of the Consanguine, and high standards of conduct await those who seek entrance to the guild.
