Abysia: Trueblood
runnerups: "Lavaborn" "Fireborn"

Trueblood is a cool name, but since BoH is more "bloody" than basic Abysia, I feel that Trueblood is a bit of a misnomer.

Blood of Fire actually sound pretty cool. A spin on that could be Blood of Demons, hinting that demon blood is a rarer "commodity" than human blood (basic theme is less "bloody"), but on the other hand demon blood is more pure in an Abyssian sense of pure. That would fit nicely with the flavour text of BoH, that state that the theme is a "diluted" Version of the more demonesque standard Abysian theme.

I know that the word True in Trueblood refers to the very pureness I'm talking about, but it does suggest (to me at least) that basic Abysia is the blood heavy of the two themes, and it isn't.

The rest are pretty nice, although the word Kingdom is used both in Arcoscephale and Ulm. Perhaps Ulm could be changed to Realms of Steel or something similar.
