The Sanguine Society is a loose collection of priests, fanatics, monster hunters, assassins, doctors, and philosophers. They follow Alos and seek to understand the truth of pain and death, learning from it however they can. Many consider them profane, devil-worshipping, bloodthirsty killers. These perspectives are not entirely unfounded, but many of the society seek to use their knowledge and study for the betterment of others, preventing death when possible and dealing death to those who deserve it.
