Askurgan Trueblades
Released: February 2023, Bloodhunt boxed set.
Hailing from Ghur, the Askurgan Trueblades are monastic vampires who seek to master their bloodthirsty impulse, though note even they can fully suppress the monster that lurks within.
Most Soulblight Vampires put on an air of nobility, ruling as the aristocracy of the night and indulging their ravenous appetite for mortal blood. The Askurgan Trueblades reject this. They are ascetics, an austere order of warrior monks who practise self-denial and live in seclusion in the mountains of Ghur.
The Trueblades follow the teachings of a mysterious and long-dead order known as the Renkai, pushing themselves to new heights of martial prowess, and hunting and devouring the blood of the mightiest beasts they can find.
They have entered the Gnarlwood both to tackle the inhuman beasts within, and to seek out an elder of the Renkai last seen on pilgrimage in the Ravening Ruin.
