From publisher blurb:
Azrulir’s Gift has spread through many Realms, though rarely does he revisit those he has adorned once he has unleashed this Gift. On the Earth Realm Azrulir walked among the mortals and earned many loyal followers. Those who did not receive his Gift but knew of it, yearned for it. His Cult among the Romans, the Azrulii, were overseen by the Gifted noblewoman Herida. Only a handful were made of Herida’s line, and it is said that Herida herself communed with Azrulir and consulted with him over who should receive his Gift. Only the most ruthless were chosen.
In modern nights Herida’s Cult exists still as a Sect of Azrulir. They are the Heridites, and are even more exclusionary than most of their sister Sects. Even more uniquely the Heridites have no fear of letting a select few outside Unbound Society know of their existence. They are even know to undertake contracts from the Herd, undertaking many different tasks should the price be deemed worthy.
