👉 The forbidden fluid, often referred to as the "Netherblood" or "Dark Blood," is a mythical substance from medieval and Renaissance literature that represents the blood of the dead or the underworld. It is typically depicted as a dark, viscous liquid that possesses both life-giving and corrupting properties. This fluid is forbidden because it symbolizes the boundary between life and death, purity and corruption, and is often associated with evil, the devil, or the supernatural. In stories, characters who consume this fluid are often doomed to a fate worse than death, embodying the idea that some bloods are too tainted to be part of the living world.
