Order of the Rising Sun

In order to become a member of this order of blood hunters, an individual must pass "Final Selection", a test used as an entrance exam for trainees to become full fledged members. During this selection, examinees must survive for a tenday in a location the order chooses; typically a perilous domain infested with demons, devils, and other such monters. The examinees must rely solely on the skills they have developed in training, and hope it is enough. The majority of candidates participating in the Final Selection do not survive, succumbing to injury, illness, or the elements. Only those candidates who have reached a satisfactory level of skill and competence, are entrusted with the hemocraft of this strenuous order of hunters.

Candidates who complete the Final Selection are issued the standard uniform, as well as their Bonded Sword, which is designed to eliminate fiends, undead, and monstrosities efficiently.

• Your weapon sheds bright light out to a range of 20 feet.
