The Crimson Hands are the militant enforcers of the Red Priesthood, warriors who embody its creed of sacrifice through combat. They wield fire and destructive magic not as carefully honed tools, but as blazing acts of faith — spells that scar the body as much as the battlefield.
Crimson Hands thrive where danger is greatest. They channel magic through bloodletting, ritual scars, or reckless overcasting, often sustaining injuries in the process. To them, this risk is sacred: every wound is an offering, every victory a sign that endurance proves devotion.
They are executioners, frontline shock troops, and symbols of the Priesthood’s burning will. To allies, their presence inspires awe and dread; to enemies, they are harbingers of fire, whose very survival seems like proof of divine favor.
