Nightward Society Organization in The Sea of Starlight | World Anvil

Nightward Society

The Nightward Society is a mysterious group, dedicated to protecting people from the threat of vampires and other creatures of the night. The society is made up of skilled and determined individuals, who have made it their life's work to learn about and fight these threats. It is whispered that the Nightward Society uses Blood magic to attain their goals, but not much is known about this.

Shadowed Society

The society is shrouded in secrecy, with its members sworn to secrecy about their activities and their identities. They often operate alone, or in very small groups. Experienced members are highly trained and skilled in the art of combat. These vampire hunters are often misunderstood and feared by the general population as many people believe that they attract more attention from these creatures and in themselves are dangerous or even uncontrollable. Some even believe that the Nightward Society is controlled by an ancient old vampire, to cull and control potential threats to their rule and power. Still, the society is respected and admired by those who know of their true purpose and do not believe in these superstitions.

Code of the Nightward

The code of the nightward Society is a set of rules and principles that guide the actions and behavior of the society's members. The code is the foundation of the society, and all members are expected to adhere to its principles and honor its traditions.
  • Think before you act.
  • Do not share the identity of other members of the society.
  • End any and all vampiric activity you encounter.
  • Save the innocent before you fight evil.
  • Uphold the code, no matter the personal consequence.
  • Ranks and Jobs
