Mar 25, 2016 at 18:00 comment added Vulcronos @cobaltduck Very true. I am asking this question mostly to determine what would happen without further magical intervention. As I learn what would happen to this blood river I am planning to add magical effects as needed.
Mar 25, 2016 at 18:00 comment added Vulcronos @PatJ Consider it either way. Would they naturally die off? If so, how quickly and what affect would that have. If they stay alive, what impact would that have?

Mar 25, 2016 at 17:53 comment added Frostfyre Umm.... Trillions of people die? To maintain a small river with an outflow of 2k cubic meters per second, you would need to drain all the blood from more than 352k people every second.
Mar 25, 2016 at 17:49 comment added cobaltduck You state "the blood flow is roughly equal to the previous water flow." How are you keeping the blood from clotting? How are you accounting for the different viscosity of blood and water? I know this isn't the point of your question, but it will be important to your overall narrative.
Mar 25, 2016 at 17:49 comment added PatJ Would the blood cells be maintained alive through magic? Most likely they would die (and the immune system too).
