Based of the Whalers and void powers from the dishonored series, this class is a supernatural rogue and assassin. They get their powers from the magical blood of the creatures found in the deep sea, powering the entire economy of the northern coast this glowing blood holds a massive amount of power for those who can retrieve it.
The Void Sea to the north of Neria is considered a place that can never be passed, a seemingly endless ocean where vast creatures destroy anything that sails the seas. That is except for the Levithan Hunters, sometimes called Whalers. These brave individuals sail in vast boats forged from steel and hunt the vast creatures, dragging their corpses back to the shore. The Hunters themselves are feared and respected by many, both because off their skill and the odd powers their exposure to the creatures gives them.
A hunter can be recognized by the tattoo's covering their arms, each glowing with the blood of a leviathan. This blood gives them strange powers, ones often inexplicable to the mages who attempt to study them. Some hunters go further still, ridges on their tattoo's showing where they've placed the bone of a Levithan they've slain. Though seen rarely outside of Grine, where the factories harvest the bodies of these beasts, some hunters travel in land, seeking other signs of the void and other hidden creatures to slay.
