Cult of Boran the Bloodhound
"He's hard to track. We've had no luck and he's killed 44 people already. Worse this madman is calling upon Abyssal magic in these murders. Offerings to Khorne, offerings of blood and pain. Using Abyssal and Chaotic magics to hide from all who'd search for him. We've had dozens searching and they've turned up nothing. What makes you different?'
A grin, cold, the looks of a true hunter. "Simple. Unlike your others, the Bloodhound smiles upon me."

Structure
WORSHIPPERS
Boran the Bloodhound, is the Ascended Champion of the Hunt, and is one whom the stories of his death are well known legend. He is said to have died across the Nor'Westor Sea, during the assault upon the Void itself, to break the spells of the Avatars of Woe in their bid to tear further the Hole in the World to consume all of Tariek in the Void. He is said to have been the one whom broke the Vanguard of Nightmares left at Felbolg pass, the only way through the impassable Shards Range to the place where the Hole in the World is located, the center of the deep tundra wasteland that is Norvina. He clashed directly with Tentiligur, the Avatar of Lust, the first born Nightmare Lord of Libidine. Their fight was one that took hours, so the legends tell, as the cold steel of Boran's fang clashed with the burning fires of Lust and Desire. It is said that Boran suffered enough pain to kill a thousand men, and enough sensory overload to still and erupt the hearts of hundreds more, yet did not falter to this tainted magic of suffering or temptation. He struck naught with emotion or fury, but with cold, calculated, predatory instinct and precision, keeping an iron grip of control upon himself. His death was not the end, for some otherworldly force took him to join the others, to become an Ascended. As he struck down this abomination, returning it to the depths of the Void where it belonged, his wounds took his body. But his soul became something far more.
His worshipers are most often as he was, Hunters of all kind, of beast, man, witch, daemon. His faith, as they all do, has a variety of orders, though most are militant in nature, likely 2-1. The most famous and prominent of these serve the throne of Raechin along with their faith, though their church always comes first. They are of course, the Wolfsguard. These elite men and women are without peer in Raechin, absolutely fearless, cunning, quick, and strong. As to Monastic orders, the largest is the Order of the Pack. This order is of the cloth and prayer, their job twofold, to spread the good word, and to maintain and protect holy sites.
Holy Sites
Wolf-Hund Hengroet in Longreach, Raechin is their Grand Cathedral. Temples can be found all throughout Raechin in most towns and every city. Smaller chapels and shrines can be found in every village or hamlet, even if it be naught but a simple way-shrine. For the rest of the continent, his holy places, where people offer respect and prayer are most oft found in rural environments, where hunting, and fishing are manner of survival.
Penances
Penances from Boran the Bloodhound oft involve hunting Dark Fey, or vicious criminals wishing to escape justice, especially those who's crimes are those of dark lust and excess. Rape in particular elicits a vicious response, as does narcotic smuggling, forced addiction, typical filth such as this. Rape, especially violent or aggravated or of children results in a punishment of the most horrifying. Castration, then cooking and forcing you to devour your own genitalia. Afterwards, once that wound has healed, they will drag you into a dark corner of the woods, shatter both knees, and your dominant elbow. They will leave you there, covering you in deer blood, and carefully use a heated knife to slit your vocal cords, cauterizing the wound so you will not bleed to death. Then they will go splash bits of venison blood around the area, come back and hand you a small cudgel. By this point the ever circling howls of wolves will very much be present, if not more fearful noises of even more terrifying predators that can stalk the deepest and darkest corners of the forests across Valerick. The reason they dont give you a blade of course is so you cannot easily take your own life. As the howls and growls grow closer, they will inform you, "Die like a man, or be eaten alive. They wont kill you unless you struggle, but even then your pain will continue for many moments. Perhaps as you choke on that last breath, begging to die, naught but a broken shell of a person, perhaps then you may understand a tenth of what you put (victim/s) through. What you did was not strength. It was the weakness of damnation. You sowed this seed. Now time to reap the harvest." And then they will leave you. The next sight you'll see...canine eyes (or worse) from the darkness.

Mythology & Lore
The forging of the world, by the Elemental Children. And the Draconic Wars.
Divine Origins
This faith, as with all the worship of the Ascended, comes from the Draconic Wars, the nine heroes whom united and pulled the seven races together to stand against the Dragons, both sides. By sheer numbers, eventually the dragons fell. But the cost. We know not much of the time. But we do know that none of the nine legends survived the war. Nor did any of dragonkind. Our nine champions ascended into godhood. They were welcomed home by Mother and Father and the seven Children of Creation, the first of each race, the Elemental Children
After the Draconic wars came an age of happiness and enlightenment. Our heroes became gods. So we worshiped, we sang, we prayed. But though it was a boon of an era, a time of great discovery and invention and regrowth.....darkness was to return. Some discovered things that should have been left lost. The darkness and temptation of the Abyss. The Black Mists. Daemons, the worst embodiment of our own desires, talents, dreams, twisted into nightmares, dark twisting abilities and our desires turned to horrifying dark obsessions. The eldest of the beings of creation, the things the Mother of Creation and the Father of Time, blessed unto them, locked away when they birthed the first of each race, the elemental beings, our ancestors. But some discovered lost knowledge and magical rituals....and cults began to form until things reached a boiling point. That is when the Sundering occurred. That is when the Twisted Forms, the Ruinous Powers, The Daemon Lords, once again began storming the gap between our plane and the Abyss. And they've closed the distance. We are entering a new age, an age where faith and strength are our only hope. Chaos, the Abyss has returned to Valerick. We pushed back and recovered, indeed we continue to attempt to advance.....but they will not stop. The Black Mists will not stop. And we must stand fast.
Cosmological Views
As with all followers of the Ascended, they believe that Mother of Creation and Father of Time gave birth to seven children, the Elemental Creators, the first of what would eventually become Valerick's seven 'civilized' races, though none know what the Tieflings used to be before the Abyssal taint crippled and twisted the very fabric of their race. But it is believed the world was forged by these seven. They used their own energy and elemental power to forge a companion being. Their other half. And so our species began, each of our species.....However, the twisting began at that moment. long forgotten powers, ancient, thought dead beings of chaos and blood and slaughter, they followed the trail of energy, and at the moment of forging, insured they tainted the world, and these partners the Children of Creation built for themselves. These tainted mirrors slowly lost control to long forgotten beings, monsters, nightmares. And they twisted and twisted, and brought that infection with them. It manifested in goblins, kobolds, giantkin, mind flayers, all manner of other monster and beast.
But this is our world, and we are here. We cannot falter, for where can we turn. So we will stand strong against the madness. We will not falter. We will take our world back. We will stand against the darkness, the insanity, the madness, the sin, the excess. So stand strong!!! Take heart!!! Our ancestors care for us and shield us from on high!!!

Muttering prayers to the Master of the Hunt, you force a cursed reminder on a being that thought to forget the cycle of predator and prey, to break free of that cycle of nature. Everything dies. The target must make a Fortitude Save. Should they fail, if reduced to 0 Hit Points during the duration of the spell, they actually truly and honestly die. Even if they succeed, the curse pulls at their desire to break the cycle, and deals 1d10+1/level damage each round, and regardless if this damage is what brings them to 0 hit points, the target dies permanently.
I am a wolf. Come face my fangs, if you dare!
