Blood is the elixir a life, a connection between living creatures. It is the intrinsic bond of families and peoples, a messenger of what traits and history binds them. Viratas governs over the sanctity of such connections with an emphasis on loyalty to those within one's community of blood.
Some of his principles are set out in the Viratassa.
Appearance
Viratas often appears as a man of late middle years with burgundy eyes and crimson hair. His body is broad shouldered and scarred like a warrior's. There is a depth to his expression that softens its stony lines, as if he was familiar with the grief of all who have been betrayed.
