The Elders of Arcana

The Elders of Arcana consist of specific bloodlines tracing back nearly a thousand years where each first born son is sworn into service of upholding traditions and duties as a Warden.

Culture

The Elders follow a strict warrior culture brought about the violent nature of their demonic enemies.

Assets

The Elders have designed and crafted special techniques for bolstering their bodies to hone them into perfect soldiers. They also utilize strange magic items or processes that helps them hunt their prey.

Arcane Tattoos

Made from ink distilled from the blood of a Windego, these tattoos can channel the owner's own vitality into a tool used for either offense or defensive purposes.

Ritual of Reckoning

A powerful tool in the Warden's arsenal; the ritual of reckoning allows a group to train against a specific foe to better prepare them for a battle. The participants of the ritual must imbibe a strange concoction to put them into a dream state where they appear in an open featureless plane with their foe. The participants must have some familiarity with this foe, information, stories, a name, but having been in the creature's presence before is the best.
The foe is merely a copy of their target and does not share memories with the real one. However, it has been recorded that on occasion certain foes may receive premonitions of the events from this ritual and be tipped off to the party's intent.

Ritual of Prime Banishment

Due to the nature of Demons, many are too dangerous to be allowed to return back to the Abyss if they are killed. For such creatures the Ritual of Prime Banishment exists to banish the creature to the prison plane of Carceri. This ritual is what sealed away Kalcor the Relentless by members of The Trace .

Disbandment

Anton and Captain @3b1514db-11df-40dd-a7a0-1c5960737622 later returned to Black Spike Island to find the demonic infestation of the island had ended.
When the Warden leader had expired of old age his followers were clearing his chamber, and found completed plans for closing off the demonic rift permanently. Many members were outraged that their leader would allow so many warriors to fight and die rather than ending the threat when he could. The ones that hadn't deserted followed out the plans closing the rift and thus ending their watch.
With no threat to defend against many members turned back to the life they left behind, but some find it harder to adjust and search for a new purpose. Many Wardens can be found as mercenaries throughout the Scatterback Sea.
