[[Image:D1-book-of-blood.gif|left|frame]]The Warlord of Blood is always found guarding the stairs down to level 14. He and a number of other Steel Lords are in a box around the exit, along with four weapon and two armor stands. To gain access to the box you must find and read from the Steel Tome, which tells the lore of the Warlord, and causes the front wall of the box around his item depot to disappear.
:''The armories of Hell are home to the Warlord of Blood. In his wake lay the mutilated bodies of thousands. Angels and man alike have been cut down to fulfill his endless sacrifices to the dark ones who scream for one thing... blood.
When the player walks into site of the Warlord, the game pauses for a moment while it loads his dialogue, so be ready to run, or click so you walk well past the box, so as not to be caught by computer lag. The Warlord's taunt goes as follows:
===Strategy Tips===
There will always be Steel Lords on level 13, along with the other one or two random monsters, when the Warlord quest is active.
It's not necessary to read the tome; a player with teleport can just pop over the wall, though this can be dangerous with all of the Steel Lord inside.
Easier is to use telekinesis to just grab the items over the walwall.
The Warlord is one of the very few SuperUniques who are immune to fire, lightning, and cold, on hell difficulty. Mages get to practice their "stone curse and whack" technique, and often summon a golem to speed things along. Or simply chain lightning his followers and then teleport past the Warlord , if they're not concerned with a full clear or with obtaining his weapon.
