The Sisters Carnifexa and The Skarabasca

Two more factions and organizations you can drop into a Krevborna game. Look, if you think I wasn't going to add battle nuns you don't get the setting at all. And of course you need a clandestine criminal organization.

The Sisters Carnifexa

The members of the Sisters Carnifexa are professional monster hunters who have been trained for combat at Kairn Volkov, an ancient mountain fortress in the Karthax Mountains. 

    • Originally a branch of the Church specialized in slaying unclean monstrosities, the Sisters still wear clerical vestments common to militant nuns.

    • The Sisters Carnifexa recruit new members exclusively from Krevborna’s population of orphaned and unwanted female children. 

    • The training regimen the Sisters Carnifexa subjects their young charges to is referred to as the Trials; the Trials are grueling and sometimes fatal.

    • According to hearsay, some of the children collected by the Sisters Carnifexa are experimented upon in the vlaak laboratories they discovered in the depths of their fortress. 

    • The purpose of the Sisters Carnifexa’s experiments is to mold them into “perfect warriors” to be used as weapons against supernatural threats; those who survive these experiments are rendered stronger and more resilient, and they often possess strange powers.

The Skarabasca

The Skarabasca is a powerful, shadowy criminal syndicate operating throughout Krevborna. 

    • The Skarabasca commits mundane crimes, such as heists, robberies, and assassinations, but the organization’s true specialty is dealing in alchemically enhanced intoxicants.

    • The goal of the Skarabasca is to either destroy or assimilate all rival gangs and criminal organizations in Krevborna. 

    • Upon joining the Skarabasca, a new member chooses a grandiose or fanciful name for themselves, such as Broken Sword, Eldest Daughter of Pain and Fortune, Steel Serpent, or Omen of the Seven Sorrows. 

    • The members of the Skarabasca revere Morokain, the immortal first murderer described in the Holy Blood Bible, in hopes that, like him, they will remain uncaught and unpunished for their crimes.
