Order of the Martyr

Through the use of a grim ritual involving the consumption of celestial blood, some blood hunters have obtained abilities allowing them to heal and prevent injury. Due to the dark nature of obtaining this blood and the ritual it is used for, such hunters have condemned their souls and are particularly shunned by the divine. These healing powers are not perfect as they involve sacrificing one's own vitality to use them, however the blood magics used by this order have also allowed the strongest of them to find ways to empower themselves when injured.
