Moonblade

Above all else, Moonblades hold cycles sacrosanct. Their order believes that all things that begin must end, and that each end holds the seeds of a new beginning. Using a personalized talisman, they collect and harness the ephemeral lunar energy. Trained as infiltrators and spies, they seek to bring down those who would abuse the cycle. Tyrants and monsters who seek to rule forever are common enemies of the moonblades, but undead are their greatest enemies. They view even lesser undead as abominations to stamped out. As a moonblade rises higher in skill and rank, they gain the ability to temporarily disrupt their own cycle in order to bring down those who would seek to break it. They do not do so without consequences however, after all, everything dies eventually.
