The Cutting Nurse
The Cutting Nurse is the title for a vital role amongst the Blood Iris Sisters, concerned with their reproduction. It is a role currently fulfilled by Sythania, shown in the illustration at the head of the article.
Duties
The birthing of new members of the Sisterhood of the Blood Iris is a carefully planned event to ensure that the population remains balanced with the ability of Lake Oxylium to support their numbers. It is the Council of the Irises which authorises the Cutting Nurse to perform her duties and the Cutting Nurse sits on the Council in her own right.
Subject to authorisation from the Council, the Cutting Nurse performs the vital medical and ceremonial functions associated with bringing forth a new Blood Iris Sister from the First Rhizome at the Temple of Aluph. The mysterious process has always been a secret hidden from other races. It requires fresh blood taken from living humans to infuse the First Rhizome and the administration of powerful ancient magics.
Responsibilities
The Cutting Nurse has additional responsibilities to supervise the Nursery at Aluph. This is the place where young Blood Iris Sisters reside until their basic education is complete.
