The Order Of Maledecca Ente Ungubius Venato

Origin
The Order Of Maledecca Ente Ungubius Venato is an ancient order spanning to the first arrival of Humans in the known world. It began as a guild hall located in a old giant temple's ruined catacombs.

The founding members were one of each of the noble races as follows minus giant.

Faustine The Healer of Temphitet - Was said to be the most beautiful female Lazulian who ever existed, she stood 7 foot tall, slender built with skin that was a powdered blue, platinum blonde hair and eyes that had iris colors that changed based on her mood on a black as coal background. She is often credited as the founder of healing magic. The ancient city of Temphitet is where she started the first science and magic fusion hospital that ever existed.

Gunholm The Chainbreaker - Gunholm was a Dwarf born in the mountains of Icos, he has skin as black as coal and a beard to match with fiery amber eyes. He was said to be so strong that he could rip apart a 5 inch iron chains as easily as a kid can rip up grass. He displayed this feat when he freed his best friend the Frost Giant Nazmodi who was captured by human hunters to have his heart extracted. Gunholm single handedly slew 150 men. Breaking the chains that imprisoned his friend, but it was all too late. The toxins the hunter used to sedate the giant slowed his heart and they weren't halfway down the mountain when he clasped and died. This is when Gunholm declared to eradicate all evil.

Kimble The Master Of All - Kimble was a average sized human man with pale white skin and a fiery red beard and head of hair. He had emerald eyes that always looked lost in thought. He was hired by kings across the world to cook, engineer, and invent some of the most important inventions that ever existed. No matter what the skill was Kimble had the ability to master it in record time. This also made him one of the most powerful wizards that ever existed. He invented many of the enchantments still used today as well as rune crafting in its entirety.

Auriel Luthis The Immortal- Auriel was one of the first elves to transfer dimensions and settle Loria, it is said even at this time he was 5,000 years old. All elves have long lifespans but Auriel was even more extensive. By the time he died he was nearly 20,000 years old, it is said that he carried a curse from the elder plane with him to Loria. A curse he couldn't stop from spreading and caused good men to turn evil and attack their loved ones. Auriel knowing what evil he caused in the world was the catalyst for starting Maledecca Ente Ungubius Venato which is the elder language for Curses, Fangs, and Talons Hunters.

Auriel sought out each of the other initial members of the MEUV. He saw each of them as paragons of their race, who each truly wanted to remove evil from Loria. Auriel's curse gave him sharp canine fangs and a unsatisfiable thirst. This hunger is what lead him to first propagate the curse upon his arrival to Loria. So he dipped these cursed fangs into electrum, a gold silver alloy. To not only block his ability to spread his curse, but also to be dangerous to other evils. His three disciples followed suit, and to this day every initiation ends with the new member getting their canine teeth removed and replaced with varying metals depending on their specialty.

These old giant catacombs served as the headquarters for the MEUV for thousands of years. Auriel gave each of the founding members the gift of extended life, through the first 1000 years the MEUV was out in the open, well known, cherished even, and proud members of their community, they grew from a meek 4 to a powerful 10,000 in the millennium. Infact Kimble's son started the Magi, that is a different story however he believed the MEUV was unsustainable due to how they specifically hunted monsters for coin and many of the higher members exchanged political favors. The Magi was created as a spiritual successor to the MEUV as a version 2.0 that was so efficient it is still just as powerful today. The MEUV on the other hand had a bumpy second millennium and onward. The people of Loria turned on them and held a public execution of 4,000 members on what is now known as blood fang day. When this occurred the noticeable spike in demons and monsters was used by the various clergy's to convince the common folk that the MEUV summoned these creatures as revenge for the execution. At one point the guild was down to only 100 members and only Faustine and Auriel were alive. Infact it is rumored they had a love affair that created an offspring. Auriel moved the guild into hiding and gave each of those members 1 territory to manage. Each individual is responsible for creating 2 new master monster hunters, initiating them upon the death of their first kill of Auriel's children, and then assigning one as a replacement for their current territory and the other to gain a new territory. The one who stays was forbidden from recruiting anyone under him until his master died. The additional hunter restarted the cycle. Through this strategy and about 400 years every major town and city had their own monster hunter. These individuals were still demonized due to the past, most people hated them and forgot even why. Auriel's plan was successful and without having hubs of power political corruption stopped being an issue. However due to any one hunter not having comrades for support they often fell in battle, victims of murder, and generally had to join the scum of society because no one else would accept them. The individuals hunters were no longer called members of the Maladecca Ente Ungubius Venato, but instead went by Venatians (ven-nay-shins). Faustine passed away around EIII 500 nearly 16,000 years from the creation of the MEUV, she passed away of old age in the castle that was constructed on top of the Old Giants Catacombs, this castle still stands today and is named Faustine. Auriel waited 20,000 years to experience the deepest of any heart ache, upon Faustine's death he removed his fang coating trying to save her life, when that failed he went into a deep insanity and terrorized the villages of Faustine, eventually a Venatian by the name of Harold Godkiller caught up with Auriel and managed to slay him. Harold didn't want Auriel's legacy to be tainted so he decided to make Faustine castle the center of what he just called The Meladecca Venato, or curse hunters. Harold blended the new with the old, he recreated the guild halls with the rule that there was no permanent bases, instead regions had biannual meetings where all the new initiations take place as well as nomination for new recruits. The most elite hunters would be invited to the once every 5 year meeting held at Faustine Castle where major decisions for The Meladecca Venato was decided. Individuals were here on out allowed to have as many recruits under them as they wanted however no training was allowed until a gathering. Killing an Auerielsohn which they became called, was still the requirement for initiation. Last major change was to discourage political issues The Meladecca Venato became their own entity, with their own businesses, and their network. This allowed them to have their own goals as a whole, but more importantly their own wealth which would aid in eliminating greed in their members. Venatians could no longer accept payment for hunting evil, and instead the Meladecca Venato provided for all their needs.

As you would imagine this wasn't the most thought out plan by Harold. He didn't take into account humanoid nature and a couple thousand years of Venatians holding on to the MV's wealth which caused other to accept payments snow balled into what we know as the Venatian's Meladecca today. What was once a honorable guild turned into estranged travelers which then once again became a entity known Loria wide, is now a collection Clans or more of secret societies each often with their own agenda's and morals. The head of these societies still meet every 5 years at Castle Faustine where they preform an ancient ritual trying to reawaken Auriel, and every half decade they fail. The Meladecca has become much more secretive and occult and the common folk of the world have long forgotten about them.
