Order of the Arcane Arsenal

Of the many terrible blood rituals that curse the realm, few are as ancient or as feared as that of the Lysian. Channeled through the death of many, these creatures live inside a humanoid, feeding on its blood and on its fears, slowly taking over the body. Many of these Humanoids lose control of the Lysian after a few years and die, but some have learned to channel its energy. Through technology and arcane weaponry, they can manipulate its power and supress its will. Constantly switching between a number of weapons, they change the battle to their liking.

Using arcane and demonic magic, these blood hunters can deal incredible amounts of damage and hunt their enemies down with the right weapon at all times.
