Order of the Darkness

The Order of the  Darkness is a very strange one, it lives in the very darkness it fights, learning to use it to their advantage. in a ritual called the De Noctum, they spend months of their time in the inky blackness of a room filled with sentient magical darkness, being constantly bombarded with attacks by horrifying monsters and terrifying illusions. If the hunter does it without becoming insane or dying, they become infused with magic darkness and learn to use strange and powerful abilities, This also often manifests as physical features such as black eyes or tattoos. People who do this ritual end up being part of the Order of Darkness. The Order of darkness often  horrify with their abilities as the sight of darkness shaping into a monstrous creature or someone disappearing into the shadows  is often very surprising and frightening
