Order of the Fallen

Every Order has it's beginning, some believe that the Hunter's bane was originally developed by a small group of individuals who fought off their own darkness or were consumed by it. Others believe the Order of the fallen is a perversion of the ideals the blood hunters stand for, taking hemeocraft too far. Through over experimentation, a cruel twist of fate, or interference of a dark force these warriors are imbued with unbridled abilities and are able to absorb the abilities of enemies further, at a price. As they grow in power they battle for their sanity and risk becoming the things they once hunted. Like their blood hunter kin they focus the magic of hemocraft to deal damage, frighten their prey, and alter their capabilities. Unlike their kin they are driven by an insatiable hunger. This hunger could be filled through consuming the flesh, blood, or very essence of your enemy. This act drives common folk from you in fear and marking you as a target for many, if not concealed.
