To become a Reaper's Hand is to receive death's kiss. These warriors are living weapons, forged in the fires of grief and vengeance. They channel divine power through their broken blades, becoming conduits of death itself. On the battlefield, they move with terrifying grace, each strike a precise and devastating execution. Their enemies know fear, for the Reaper's Hand delivers not just death, but the final judgment of a wrathful god.
