Lycian Blood Hunter Orders

The Lycian Blood Hunter Orders, abbreviated to the LBHO, is a secret order of blood hunters in Lycia, formed from several blood hunter orders combined. They are currently headed by X the Third.

## Overview

The LBHO operates mostly in secret throughout Lycia. They are responsible for dealing with most of the extraplanar problems in Lycia, or problems the most non-magic population of Lycia would be unprepared to deal with.

Though many LBHO members were blood hunters, the orders included a great many fighters, paladins, rangers, and even wizards. The LBHO also included a few religious orders for gods dedicated to protection and hunting.

The LBHO sometimes works with House Saxonbury, as they are one of the few Lycian hunters who are adequately prepared for magical and extraplanar threats.

## Leadership

The individual orders in the LBHO each have their own leader that forms a central council of blood hunters. The leader of the entire order is voted in by this council.

The leader of the LBHO never goes by their real name, instead they are known by a letter of the alphabet. When they reach the end of the alphabet, they circle back to the beginning. The current leader is known as X the third, meaning that they are in their third alphabet cycle. This tradition was continued from the Chromaggia Order.

### Current Council

* X The Third
* Leona Belmont, head of the Belmont Conclave
* Lucien Haze, head of the Chromaggia Order

## History

The LBHO formed when the dwindling Chromaggia Order, School of Exorcists, Kaelderwin, Lycan-Hexers, and several other blood hunter organizations formed into one organization. The first leader of the LBHO was L the Second, the current leader of the Chromaggia Order.

In the late 1500s, W the Third was murdered by Yulbryn Zargax. His successor, X the Third, acquitted Yulbryn of the crime.

In the 1600s, during the Arcadian-Lycian War, Yulbryn Zargax was sent as the LBHO's ambassador to the Lycian Councils.
