The Red Lodge
A long time ago, an underperforming monster hunter took on a job that should've been well beyond his limits. He was to slay a horrifying creature that was the daughter of a demon king and a fairy queen. After seeing the monstrosity they had created, they banished her from both realms because she was incredibly deformed and monstrous. This creature, now known as The Outcast Daughter, had killed all the other hunters that approached, but this last hunter hesitated. For the kindness he had shown her, she empowered him with her blood in exchange for protection from those that wish to do her harm and seeking to destroy those that cast her out. Her blood gave him virtual immortality and otherworldly strength, among other abilities. Later he would learn that there is a silver lining: extensive use of her blood gives you dhampiric hunger. With his new power, he rose in fame, fortune, and strength, eventually leaving behind the Red Lodge, a secretive blood hunter order that was founded to serve the aforementioned purposes: it protects The Outcast Daughter from those that wish to do her harm; it seeks to destroy fairies, demons, and other beings from other planes. In order to fund their escapades, they claim bounties by hunting dangerous monsters. As the years went on, The Outcast Daughter seemingly vanished along with the founding father of the Red Lodge. Thankfully for the order, she had left behind a massive reservoir with enough of her blood to keep it operating for centuries. This also meant that the order had only one purpose left to fulfill: seeking out and destroying otherworldly monsters.
The Red Lodge now meets in the Church of the Exalted Forest in Clonio, where the blood of the Outcast Daughter is stored.
