Whitestone remains isolated from the rest of Tal’Dorei.

of friends, and the importance of legacy. As a member of
Vox Machina, Percival is rarely in Whitestone.

nonetheless taken to her title with great glee.

Grog is the noble, if simple, warrior of Vox Machina. No
one really knows if Grog’s noble title is a real title at all, or
if Percy was just joking when he gave it to him. Grog likes
it, and that’s good enough for most people.
The Claret Orders
Hundreds of years ago, a fell power exerted its dark will
over Wildemount, corrupting its outlying townships and
spreading chaos among its people. Undeath washed over
grave sites like a plague, shadowed beasts stalked the
midnight woods, and the influence of fiends befouled even
Wildemount’s purest souls.
In the eleventh hour, a priest of the Matron of Ravens
named Trence Orman prayed for a way to protect his
flock. The Matron’s inspiration came in the form of
long-hidden knowledge: the secrets to blood magic.
Taking his gifts, Trence trained his most trusted warriors
in these techniques, giving a portion of their humanity
in exchange for the power to defend their people. This
marked the origin of the Claret Orders, and the first
Blood Clerics and Blood Hunters.
The Claret Orders work in relative secrecy, as the
nature of their abilities are largely misunderstood
and often lead to persecution. Their numbers are
small, as the price is great and the Orders
only accept those strong of heart with
little to lose. Small sects of the Orders
have ventured West to wander the
lands of Tal’Dorei in recent years,
keeping out of the public eye and
remaining vigilant to the signs
of familiar darkness under-
mining the region.goals
The Creed of the Claret
Orders asks its followers
to commit their lives to the
hunt of entities and creatures
that threaten the sanctity of life
and joy. While the sacrifice is great,
the reward is the continued existence
of purity and good in the world. The
Orders strive to protect those who
cannot protect themselves from the
shadows, taking no credit for their deeds
or reward for their services, beyond the
means to live and travel. Some have strayed,
focusing on building a fortune for themselves, but should
word of such intent make it back to the heads of the Orders,
and their actions begin to threaten the innocents they’ve
sworn to protect, they may find themselves the hunted.relationships
The Claret Orders have no alliance or allegiance to any
standing government or group. Solitary in action and
discrete in display, they’ve not yet drawn the attention of
many factions in Tal’Dorei. However, it is only a matter
of time before curious eyes begin to seek answers to ques-
tions about these dark guardians and their true nature.figures of interest

Human Blood Hunter. Right hand to Teresa Dulamar
and capable member of the Order of the Profane Soul,
his hatred for fiends and their making of pawns of good
people is only matched by his skill with a blade.“As blood flows through and invigorates the body, so faith
flows through and invigorates the soul. Ever remember
this: Thy blood and thy faith are one in the same. Spill
not thy blood nor that of another heedlessly, but do not
hesitate to spill either when the cause is just.”

a holy text of the Claret Orders
