The Spirit Blade
is an ancient order committed to defending the realm from the threat of the undead and of crazed spirits and ghosts. To commit to this order is a lifetime contract - once bound to this life, it follows them forever. The order tends to attract ex-convicts, the dishonored, and youngest sons with no prospects, as it provides a means to atone for past wrongs, regain lost honor, and gives a new purpose for life. Given their rougher pasts, Spirit Blades tend to be solitary, spread out across the land, taking on threats as they find them. Mental, emotional, and spiritual balance is key to their survival, keeping them centered as the supernatural forces they battle tear at their very soul.
Each Blade had a weapon forged out of a piece of his own soul. Through this weapon, spirits recognize Blades as a guardian of the living, a guide to the dead, and a supernatural enforcer of the veil that separates the two. Spirits of all kinds are drawn to them - the good want their help, the twisted want them gone.
