Adoxos (clique)
The Sanguine Sisterhood, or 'Adoxos', encompass the harrowing warriors of Sarradon who fight under the banner of their order in the name of Saint Sansia. A faction of the order that originally arose shortly after the execution of their patron saint, the Sanguine were dedicated to expressing their grief following Sansia's death in the shedding of their own blood, which eventually took on more sinister undertones. Over time, the Sanguine came to believe that their intense grief could not be sated by their own blood alone, but that the blood of others must also be shed to express their anguish for Sansia. Renowned for their seeming death wish in battle, the Sanguine are completely without fear and retreat for the sole purpose of preserving their chance to cause more carnage in their next battle.
They are also known for their disreputable use of weapons specially designed to exsanguinate their victims. Rebellious villages punished for their defiant nature by the Sanguine often play host to gruesome scenes, entire families skinned and hung so as to extract as much blood as possible from their corpses, livestock and pets of the deceased being carved into pieces and the streets awash in blood from the slaughter. Saint Sansia is gone from this world, and only by spilling the blood of every single last one of the unrepentant masses on Aeras can she be avenged.
