+{{Cradle NavBox}}{{Cradle Character|Name=Sage of Red Faith|image=|Path=Path of Red Faith ?|Type Parents Unkown=|Rank=Sage|First Appearance=[[Skysworn]]|Faction=[[Redmoon Hall]]|Home=Unknown}}'''The Sage of Red Faith''', also known as the '''Blood Sage''', is the founder and one of the Diarchs of [[Redmoon Hall]], cult of [[The Bleeding Phoenix]], profiting off the misery and carnage it causes. This ancient skeleton doesn’t use his birth name, probably doesn’t even remember it. Red Faith is best known for developing techniques for gathering power from Blood Shadows, and for turning his own [[Blood Shadow]] into a clone of himself, which ended up separating from him and becoming a Herald, naming himself [[Redmoon]]. Before founding the Redmoon Hall cult, Red Faith researched [[Dreadbeasts]] and spirits.
-==Brief==
+Red Faith is Psychotic. Obsessive. Intense. Bizarre. Freaky. Frightening. Egregiously unconscionable. Stalker tendencies towards [[Yerin]] and her [[Blood Shadow]]. The [[Sage of Red Faith]] or the Blood Sage is a skinny white scarecrow, because he feeds himself to his clone, his Blood Shadow. He is one of the oldest Sages on Cradle. He’s crafty and sly and obsessively driven. He is not needlessly cruel, but is without ethics or conscience, willing to sacrifice the entire world for his research into Blood Shadows. His speech patterns are guttural although he can express coherent thoughts if he desires (Wintersteel, ch 6)
 <blockquote><b>Red Faith, as seen by  Min Shuei, the Winter Sage:</b> <br> The Blood Sage, founder of the Bleeding Phoenix’s cult, looked as though he had no blood in him at all. His skin was as pure white as his hair, which was so long that it reached down to his bare feet. His black-and-red clothes were tight enough to reveal his skeletal frame, and lines of red paint ran down his cheeks from both eyes like tears. He perched on the windowsill, hunched like a monkey, chewing on his thumbnail and staring at her with unnerving intensity. She felt nothing but disgust for this creature. At some point in the past, he was supposed to have been an accomplished researcher, pioneering investigation into dreadbeasts and the nature of spirits.<br> (—Wintersteel, ch 6)</blockquote>

 Red Faith carefully fed and nurtured his Blood Shadow. He used this sustenance as a carrot, to control it. When it was strong enough, it escaped and advanced to Herald. It appropriated the name Redmoon. Then it returned to the Sage. So now Red Faith’s clone is an arrogant sot at Herald rank, and not loyal to the Sage.<br>

 The Sage's Blood Shadow is said to be an exact copy of himself, in reverse. The Herald is red where the Sage is white.  He’s worth an extra ally in battle. He created this by feeding blood to his Shadow, as well as his own life madra. It has all the same skills as himself, recreated with blood madra. This is said to be the most powerful and most dangerous use of the Blood Shadow, as it is not fully under one's control, but cooperating because of the provided food.

When I became a Sage, as I knew I would, I could then ascend to Monarch as easily as slipping on a new robe.” His face contorted like it was being pulled in three different directions. “But the treachery and selfishness of my Shadow knew no bounds. It fled from me until it had become a Herald in its own right, so we could no longer become one. “Hear me, girl: feed your Shadow, but do not trust it. Use this aura for its nourishment that it may become a potent weapon, but your will must remain dominant. And do not fuse with it until you become a Sage. Your will is not developed enough, so the blending will result in an imperfect fusion when your Shadow fights you.” (Wintersteel, ch 18)</blockquote >

 The Sage is obsessed with Yerin and her Blood Shadow.
