Cult of the Crimson Maiden
The Cult of the Crimson Maiden is a religious institution charged with the worship of as the name suggests the Crimson Maiden, or Carmela, the Goddess of Slaughter. Although I would suggest not to refer to the Crimson Maiden as the Goddess of Slaughter when in their presence I assure you it wont end well for you. Carmela's followers will nominate you to be cleansed and purified which will not be a pleasant experience for you.

Members of the vein of the merciless could be of any race but tend to live in cities.
