Night Stalkers

Nightstalkers are a CE form based wildmagick where members partake in a dark route for power, giving up their humanity in exchange for power.

## Nightstalker Backstory

As these beings pop up more and more in every land, they are no longer able to be dismissed as creations of overactive imagination. They are real.

This group is always eager to consider those who are ready to latch onto opportunity when they see it. Prove yourself and surpass the Clans of the Nightstalkers.
