Order of the Phylactery

Hunters of this order have discovered the power blood has over someone's soul. With this knowledge they have been able to split their soul using hemocraft and place that soul into an object. This soul is created with a purpose, however, it will pursue this purpose over other concerns. 

Phylactery’s Purpose
