Mazanai (clique)
The Circle of Rosebloods, or 'Mazanai', contain the Living Magi of the order, formerly the Battle Magi of Sansia's Order Militant. Shortly after their patron saint's unjust death at the hands of Phancis, they were among the first to worship her as a reincarnation of the Purest. Despite their prior reputation as exemplars who were beholden to Sansia's principles of justice and compassion, they now glory in their wanton cruelty and sadism which goes unmatched throughout all of Sarradon.
Emerging as a coherent group only a few years after the initial landing of the Saintly Orders in Sarradon, the Rosebloods have long been one of the pillars of Sansianite rule in the region. The Rosebloods uphold the order's control over the natives by utilizing their mastery over blood magic to animate legions of blood thralls that compensate for their relative lack of knights. To add to the horror of this practice, carcasses employed in this are predominantly those fallen in past rebellions against Agionist rule in the region, signifying the eventual fate of all those who oppose the order's control. These blood thralls are also commonly used in macabre puppet shows put on by the Rosebloods following uprisings to intimidate the populace into further submission. A symbol of Sansianite repression, the Rosebloods encapsulate the sheer inhumanity present within the order.
