Name of the Story: The mark of the huntsman

Place of Origin: Unknown

Summary: Warriors have existed for as long as Remnant itself, combating the grimm in one form or another, and protecting humanity from darkness. One such group, long lost to time, are the marked. The marked carry a sigil known as the mark of the huntsman, or the heroes brand. Once there were hundreds of them, spread across remnant and tied by a mental bond which allowed them to share their legacy. When one died, he would pass his mark on to another warrior, transferring its bond to the collective to a new host. However, as time passed their numbers dwindled, the marked died without being able to pass it on and now few remain, barely aware of the connection they share.

Variation(s) in different cultures: none

Impact on Remnant: Those who carry the heroes brand are able to share their thoughts with others carrying it, advising eachother and fighting as brothers from across the world. As of now, only one remains and carries the brand, and as such the mental link is gone, and all that remains is a faint spark that guides the one who inherits it to seek out and destroy the creatures of grimm wherever they lurk.

Notes: none
