The Bloodspike Brothers

This clan of dark men was built after the Bloodspike was successfully stabilized.
The Bloodspike was a common source of power for evil Heroes or Slayers, so in consequence it was a common target for sabotage. Because of these attacks, the Bloodspike Brothers were built for protection of it. In time though, the Bloodspike grew more powerful from such increased worship and protection. Because of the increased power, it gave the Brothers more power, many people saw this as an increased threat, attacked, and formed what is close to a civil war now in the kingdom. The Brothers treat their men how the Slayers used to, harshly and without remorse.
