Description:
⚔️ Path of Blood : Battle-Forged Immortality

“Fight battle after battle, and find your character living longer and longer.”


Overview

Path of Blood : Battle-Forged Immortality introduces twenty legendary traits that evolve with each victory — transforming ordinary soldiers into immortal conquerors.
From the faint Echo of renown to the transcendent Progenitor, every triumph strengthens your body, spirit, and bloodline.

This mod is designed as a grounded, low-fantasy system of growth and endurance — no divine shortcuts, no overpowered god traits — just grit, war, and legacy.
