Hunters are a secretive order forged in the crucible of desperation, sworn to combat the unknown and the monstrous. Those that wish to become a Hunter must undergo a harrowing initiation: consuming the blood of a [[Scourged]], a ritual that binds them to the essence of their prey. This blood grants them a heightened awareness of and strength against the unnatural and protects them from its influence, but comes with a price—a perpetual struggle to maintain their humanity. The ranks of the Hunters are as varied as they are fearsome, caring little for a recruit’s origins, so long as they have the resolve to face what lurks beyond the light.
