Blade Witches

Blade Witches of the Prachian Blood Shrines are unmatched by most nations of the world. Found in almost every country(willing to accept a Blood Shrine) they act as bounty hunters, Sellswords and bodyguards to any willing to pay there fees to the Blood shrines. During times like these it's seen as a chance to learn and promote better relations between the Blood Shrines and employers/other nations. Though this is not their original purpose since they were first produced though blood magic by Prachia as a means to create Artificial Tervola, this failed yet at the same time succeed. They commonly work with the Prachian Foreign Legions in other countries to make Prachia influence grow stronger.

## History

Ezira and Ethome Daughter and Son of The Architect of Blood . Ezira is the original Blade Witch in which all the Symbiotic Parasites are born from. Hand crafted by her mother to be a perfect weapon her sibling Ethome is far Different meant to be a plague upon all his parasites consume and control the host. Ethome is The Lord of the Lae'Knaeghts an army of over zealous weapons.

The Architect of Blood a master Taekin did research on the Tervola during the blood wars in a hope of producing a stronger version. With help from the Trifect he began work on creating perfect living weapons that were connected to there weapons and armor. Near the end of the Blood war The Architect of Blood caste a powerful Blood Spell later known as Blood Shrine to Begin producing Ezira and her parasite Children, later producing Ethome though other means and purposes. After casting the Spell The Architect of Blood went to Khavara and began work on fully completing his new creations. Once it was all finished she handed over her research to the first Tervola in hopes of making use of her children knowing just how hard it would be creating something as powerful as the Tervola themselves.

With the Knowledge in hand Prachia began to use the Blood Shrines in conjuncture with the Prachian Foreign legion in hopes of spreading there influence across the land and make a more powerful army.

## Creation

Licia Egg, symbiotic parasites born of the Ezira the first of there kind who was put into a eternal sleep and is slowly broken apart to build more of her kind. these are her children all females they are implanted in mortals Magic organs from there they slowly grow and spread into a network of Crystalline(that interacts with magic) structure throughout the host's body, along with this they enhance the user's bodies in many ways they also gage the users Will(there dreams and capabilities) from there they build the witch Blades Bloodline. Though sometimes Licia Eggs host die and force the Licia to mutate into a monstrosity form to live. From there they are collected by the Blood Shrines and stored for Combat uses or to be implanted in new hosts. Blade Witches born though these means are Generation Blade witches well some view this as a huge advantage given the Licia is fully formed and has all prior knowledge of its old host which it can pass on to its new host it's always harder for the Licia to form a solid bond with the host quickly and takes more time.
