The Sisters Carnifexa
The members of the Sisters Carnifexa are battle-ready nuns professional monster hunters who have been trained for combat at Kairn Volkov, an ancient mountain fortress in the Karthax Mountains.
• The Sisters Carnifexa recruit new members exclusively from Krevborna’s population of orphaned and unwanted female children.
• Originally a branch of the Church who specialized in slaying unclean monstrosities, the Sisters still wear clerical vestments common to militant nuns.
• 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 executes 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, Mirthless Daughter, Steel Serpent, or Omen of the Seven Sorrows.
• The members of the Skarabasca revere Cain, the immortal first murderer, as their spiritual patron.
• Each murder committed by the Skarabasca is dedicated to Cain in hopes that, like him, they will remain uncaught and unpunished for their crimes.
