Order of the Starved

All blood hunters are born from a process known in academic circles as the Hunter's Bane, a terrifying process by which their blood is infused with ancient and forbidden magic that grants them the unnatural power they use to fight the creatures that crawl in the dark. But there are those who believe that the process doesn't go far enough and that even more extreme power is needed to face the new unknowable horrors that are crawling out from beyond the planes.

Those who believe this travel to the edges of the elemental planes where there sits a secret shrine. And within this shrine, they are infused with the essence of Chaos itself, the blackened magic and horrible energies that split the material planes from the spititual. No mortal can push through, and no spirit can return. But these precious lucky few that survive the process emerge with new untold power and a body consumed by elemental hunger. There is no longer a soul, merely a starved hunter, craving to devour all.
