Blood Claws are an older then magic power that the lycan alpha Zaide found before he founded the Lycan Empire. Zaide used this power to free his lycans from... no not vampires but from shape shifters. Anyway the power of the Blood claw is why the lycans in the Empire don't like Vampires all that much, for the power is in the blood. A lycan in the Empire would get a blood claw from birth or from the ritual or a right of path for young males. After the lycan Empire fell the ritual could no longer be performed for the Blood claws home called the Dark Orb was lost in the Forgotten Wars.
Rule:
1) A lycan can only have 4 or 5 Blood claws with out completing the ritual.
2) No one can complete the ritual in this guild.
3) Blood Claws have the power to reflect magic
4) Only a Lycan can have a Blood Claw.. unless I give your permission to have one.
5) Blood Claws can be enchanted into items but is weaker then the blood claw in the original host.
