In the TTRPG Earthdawn there is a group called the Blood Elves, who earned their name from enacting a ritual during the Scourge to stop the Horrors from devouring their land and their people (whole lot of history in that game, if none of that makes sense I'm sorry LOL).

What kind of advice is that?Β  There next one will be "No woman would want to date a man who ... breathes.Β  You should try holding your breath."Β  The wonderful thing about attraction is that it is as wild and varied as people are.
