Weeping are blessed formed from Aelth who fell to the Blood. They are thin, with hard alabaster white skin which is covered in deep slashes and rents which constantly trickle blood. They are eyeless, and their empty eye sockets also constantly weep venomous blood.
Like the blood of the gods, a Weeping's blood can grant great magical power to those who taste it. Unlike the gods' blood, the Weepings' tears have seemingly been purified of the corruption, and will not destroy or transform those who partake of it. However, those who do taste a Weeping's blood are forever subject to the will of that Weeping. They partake in some of its power, but knowingly or unknowingly, they are subject to its mental influence.
The Weeping are very smart, and very powerful. They speak in riddles and have been known to deal and bargain with people for power. They can feed mortals some of their blood and grant them power, but they will always exert a subtle influence over that person from then on. Usually found alone in the wastelands, but they usually have vast webs of telepathic influence over people - especially mages hungry for power without the risk of corruption - all over the world. Their actual goals are usually long reaching and opaque.
Note that Aelth will stalk a Weeping endlessly. Aelth who learn of the whereabouts of a Weeping will do anything and everything in their power to destroy it. They will never admit why they are doing it, and will even claim not to see the creature they are fighting, to deny even that they are fighting anything, while they battle it to the death.
I haven't decided what happens to its slaves when a Weeping is destroyed. Either they are renderd suddenly powerless, or the blood that they tasted reverts to the blood of the gods, and renders them corrupt.
