Sister of the Golden Erinys

Uncommon

The Sisterhood of the Golden Erinys is a women's monastic order named after a mercenary company of fiendish erinyes who often work under Eiseth, a Queen of the Night who fosters wrath and vengeance. Although best known for raising a generation of Isgeri youth in the ways of Asmodeus, the sisterhood is still fundamentally a martial order, training in a vicious blend of unarmed combat and esoteric weaponry.

The order has embraced many weapons in the time since its founding, but the current iteration under Mother Valka prefers the asp coil, a flexible sword of many segments. Most of the order's martial techniques focus on using the flexible weapons to capture the targets of their vengeance, while their fingers dig into those targets like the fangs of a viper, causing intense pain. The pain is often a punishment in itself but can also render the targets unconscious for capture. Older iterations of the order focused on death as a punishment, using swords and bladed scarves to swiftly dispatch prey, although such techniques are rare among the sisterhood in Isger. Although the organization has a long history in the shadows of Cheliax as the Sisterhood of Eiseth, the rise of House Thrune allowed a branch of that order to change their focus from worshipping Eiseth to serving the Church of Asmodeus. Following the Goblinblood Wars in Isger, the Chelaxian government desired to strengthen its vassal's military without giving it any ideas about freedom.
