These Blood Hunters are humanity's protectors, defending them from the dangerous creatures that roam the land. However, the process is fraught with danger, as only a rare few possess the compatibility to withstand Monari blood without losing control to its savage instincts. **Arcane**, on the other hand, embodies the mystical gifts granted by the goddesses, such as elemental control, telekinesis, healing, and gravity manipulation. Those blessed with Arcane powers are marked by the Goddess Althara and must learn to wield their gifts with discipline and precision. Together, Blood and Arcane form the backbone of New Altera, where warriors, known as Blood Hunters, and gifted individuals face the challenges of a world teeming with legendary beasts, deadly magic, and ever-present danger.
