=== Principles & Philosophy ===
* For the advancement of Isparian power and control of Dereth.
* Wishes to harness the power of the [[Ley Lines]] to:
** Unspecified.
* Openly against the Empyrean Race and [[Asheron]] and views the possibility of the return of the [[Yalain]] as especially threatening to the safety of the Isparian.
* Openly against the monarch of [[New Aluvia]], [[Elysa Strathelar]].
* Not in support of [[New Viamont]] or [[Varicci di Corcosi II]].

=== Criticisms ===
* The Tenets of the Radiant Blood State, "One must be willing to sacrifice anything and everything, including one's own life or soul, in advancement of the greater good."
* The Blood's leader [[Nuhmudira]] is a divisive character.
** Openly practices [[Blood Magic]], and has sacrificed her own loyal followers in Blood Rites.
** Seen as self-centered and power hungry by some.
** Mental state is still unclear after her mind link with the [[Ancient Olthoi Queen]].
* Conspiracy theories involving Nuhmudira forming the Radiant Blood only for personal gain, or to gain willing sacrifices for her Blood Magic.
