You are a Hellwalker, an Orc bestowed with Demonic Blood.
Hellwalking is a rite afforded to orcs who have reached a certain level of attunement. As such, all Hellwalkers are attuned. For more information on attunement in general, type 'help attuned'.

Hellwalking is the process of taking advantage of latent demonic blood in one's veins in a vampiric manner: one augments one's own demonic blood with power stolen from demons and other eldritch beings. For reasons poorly understood, the only known species that can safely perform this process is the orcish one. Speculative theories purported to explain this include orcs being some sort of distant and diminished demonspawn, orcs bearing some special divine favour or duty, or orcish blood bearing some sort of intrinsic natural property that makes it suitable to mix with demonic one merely through some strange accident of nature.
As a Hellwalker you are afforded the same innate blood-magicks as any demon, though at a diminished rate. The rest of your powers depend upon stealing supernal energies from beings who have it, and upon making your body and spirit into an appropriate conduit for this theft. One does the latter by altering one's spirit to be like that of demons -- chaotic and unholy -- while at the same time keeping a large enough ordered and holy aspect of your spirit to keep one's demonic aspect in check and under control. One does the former by fighting and killing demons and other supernal beings with one's bare hands; the transfer of supernal energy occurs automatically under such conditions.
There are more people in the world who know how to recognize demonic blood that who know about the existence of the Hellwalkers. Even those who do know of the Hellwalkers are often ignorant or fearful of its nature, and treat any Hellwalker as a demon. Even worse, many, especially other orcs, consider the entire rite a defilement of the highest order. Those who do tend to consider Hellwalkers are worse than demons.
There is, strictly speaking, no ethic to the Hellwalkers beyond that of Attunement. But due to the extreme and potentially damning nature of Hellwalking, all Hellwalkers bring their own ethic; whatever it is that led them to becoming half-Hellspawn and to commit to an endless confrontation of beings with supernal power is typically a more exacting obession than most deities demand.
Once one has become a Hellwalker, there is no known way of going back: one is forever committed to coping with demonic blood.
How to Join
here are several prerequisites to joining the Hellwalkers
- Be an Orc
- Be a member of the Attuned
- Obtain a minimum level of attunement (Visualize Hanoma)
- Know enough Daemonology
- Be courageous
Resist Chaos, Order, Unholy and Holy damage types-- Removed in Change 4360- Bring the heart of a demon to Nagima
NB: The process of joining deals severe damage - when I joined, I lost all of my limbs and died soon after from bleeding out. Having a friend with several scrolls of limb regeneration and a decent first aid skill is recommended if you'd like to avoid the death.
Location
The Temple within Hanoma (-1, 0, 0) [ni]
You will know what to do when you find the place.
Specialty Requirements
I tried to exclude Attuned skills that may already be included. Order affinity is left on the list since it is an important affiliation skill.
