Blade Caller

The Blade Caller conclave is a newer conclave of rangers. Formerly a sect of the Fey Wanderer conclave, This group of rangers split from the group due to their innate potential towards Trace and Attraction Magic differing from the Fey's way of life. After leaving the conclave, they found a new home. In this new home grew a flower called "Whispering Wisteria". This flower comes in two different variants. The white flowers are known as Death Grasps have a ghostly, ethereal aura to them. Blade Callers who drink their nectar are called Rippers, masters of trace magic. The black flowers are called Shadows of light,  so devoid of light they look empty. Blade Callers who eat these flowers are known as Trappers, masters of attraction magic. This Conclave focuses on using their agile movements and magic skills to position themselves in combat. This conclave also values the use of ranged weapons over melee, since their magic allows for more options with ranged attacks. The Blade Caller conclave is also very secretive and selective of its members, making it one of the smallest conclaves, but in turn one of the most skilled in their areas of expertise. Creatures that have meet rangers of this conclave describe them as mysterious loners, very skilled at tracking, and extremely deadly in combat.
