Scarlet Inquisitor

Scarlet Inquisitors are fearsome warriors, drawing inspiration from the ominous Scarlet Rot that permeates the world. Infusing their martial prowess with the essence of this malevolent force, they mark their foes with the Scarlet Condemnation, unleashing lethal precision and venomous strikes. These warriors, often cloaked in dark and foreboding attire, wield the power of decay to incapacitate and neutralize enemies, embodying the eerie and relentless nature of the Scarlet Rot.

Those who embark on the path of the Scarlet Inquisitor are drawn to the enigmatic power of the Scarlet Rot. Some seek out ancient rituals or dark knowledge that allows them to harness the essence of decay or may envelope themselves within the rot with the attempt at a form of symbiosis. Others may might find themselves chosen by mysterious entities connected to the Scarlet Rot.
