Blood Guard
The Blood Guards are a secretive and powerful order of Monk of the Light. It is said that the only way to become a Blood Guard is to be a Monk of the Light. A Blood Guard finds a Monk of the Light that is fit for the order and bestows him with certain Blood Guard abilities. The subject is then watched for half a year, then if the Monk has shown he is worthy, the Blood Guard offer the monk a choice. Stay a Monk of the Light or advance to a Blood Guard. If the monk accepts, he must spend one year without the use of magic items, or magical spells that benefit only the monk. If he can do this, he is then bestowed with the full powers of the Blood Guard. The hasn't been a known Blood Guard on Aredel in almost 2500 years.
