Rynoch

By the Blood of the Guardians
The Rynoch are an Ekyan tribe of Blood Mages. Because of their connection to the Guardians, Ekyans, especially the Rynoch, produce the best Blood Mages in the world. They use the blood of the Guardians to work their magic. Guardian blood is very toxic to humans and most other animals, so they are incredibly careful in its use. In order to extract it, they use a large obsidian needle, which has to be at least 2 feet long. Obsidian is, oddly enough, one of the rarest materials on the continent.

They use their magic to hunt: hunters will harden a layer of blood around their weapons to poison their prey. They have also created a series of spells that allow them to form blood into a form similar to power tools. Because of this, they are the premier architects under the island, making elaborate underground palaces that rival even the Sul castle. They live primarily on the northern section of the island. There are a few outlying towns along the western coast that live isolated from the main group.
