Chikage
Foreign-made weapon wielded by the royal guards who protect
Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods at Cainhurst Castle.
When the intricate, rippled engraving that spans
the Chikage's blade is imbrued with blood, the sword sings in scarlet hues.
However, the rite eats away at wielder's very essence.
Cainhurst Helmet
Silver helmet worn by the royal guards who protect
Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods at Cainhurst Castle
This paper-thin silver armour is said to deflect blood of ill-
intent, and is what allows the royal guards to capture prey
for their beloved Queen, so that one day, she may near a
Child of Blood.
Crowfeather Garb
Attire worn by Eileen the Crow, hunter of hunters,
known in particular for her crowfeather cape.
Hunters of hunters dress as crows to suggest sky burial.
The first hunter of hunters came from a foreign land, and
gave the dead a virtuous native funeral ritual, rather than
impose a blasphemous Yharnam burial service upon them,
with the hope that former compatriots might be returned to
the skies, and find rest in a hunter's dream.
Cainhurst Badge
Badge of the royal guards of Cainhurst, loyal guardians of
the Vileblood Queen Annalise.
The Vilebloods are hunters of blood, and hunt prey as they
search for blood dregs. The hunter who joins them is faced
with a decision: to merely borrow their strength, or to
become one of them, heart and soul.
Blood Dreg
The Vilebloods of Cainhurst, blood-lusting hunters, see these
frightful things in coldblood.
They often appear in the blood of echo fiends, that is to say,
the blood of hunters. Queen Annalise partakes in these blood
dreg offerings, so that she may one day bear the Child of
Blood, the next Vileblood heir.
Crow Hunter Badge
Badge of a hunter of hunters, who hunts those who have
become addled with blood.
The badge of the hunter of hunters is quietly passed down
from generation to generation, usually to an outsider from
the hinterlands.
To be entrusted with this cursed badge, one must be strong,
resilient to the seduction of blood, and gracious when taking
a comrade's life.
Corruption Rune
"A secret symbol left by Caryll, runesmith of Byrgenwerth.
Several runes contain a nuance of "Blood," including the rune of "Corruption,"
associated with the oath of the corrupt.
Pledgers to this oath are Cainhurst Vilebloods.
hunters of blood who find dregs for their Queen in coldblood, particularly in that of hunters.
Yet the corrupt are heretics in the eyes of the Church,
and thus subject to the wrath of the Executioners"
Hunter Rune
A Caryll Rune that transcribes inhuman sounds.
This red-smudged rune means "Hunter,"
and has been adopted by those who have taken the Hunter of Hunters oath.
These watchmen admonish those who have become addled with blood.
Be they men or beasts, anyone who has threatened
the pledgers of the "Hunter" oath surely has an issue with blood."
Eileen, the Crow Dialogue
At the top of Grand Cathedral steps when friendly
"Oh, is that you again?
I'm afraid I've made a bit of a blunder. I'm just going to have a short rest.
Oh, don't worry, I've taken blood. Enough to save an old woman.
No more dreams for me. This is my last chance.
What a fool I am. I'll have to tread carefully.
But that thing still lies in wait. Turn back. This is my score to settle. (Gives Wait gesture)
My prey lies in wait this way. Turn back. This is my score to settle."
Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods Dialogue
Swear Vileblood Oath
"Very well. Drink deep of Our blood.
Feel the spreading corruption burn.
Now, thou’rt too a Vileblood.
We two, the very last on this earth.
We await thy return. For the honor of Cainhurst."
