Blade Wanderer
The blade wanderers are the chosen warriors of Aheru the Star Wanderer, one of the only remaining Star Lords, the primal beings who rose to immortality in ages past and seeded many worlds with life, then disappeared from the cosmos. The Ancient Adversary, He of Unnumbered Names (called Shahar by the blade wanderers) was also one of the Star Lords--and it is his Taint that the followers of Aheru seek to destroy, in whatever form it may manifest; Aheru himself, the blade wanderers believe, remains in the cosmos until he has banished Shahar and his influence--some say that Aheru is responsible for Shahar's imprisonment.
The blade wanderers were a secret order of the ancient nation of Madranarath, which was destroyed by the Shaharim (worshippers of Shahar). The survivors of Madranarath are the Madrani--a gypsy-like folk who wander the wilderlands, never settling down (mirroring Aheru's wandering of the stars). The Madrani joined an alliance with the elves, druids and rangers of the wild lands--forming the Fellowship of the Wild. The blade wanderers currently exist within the Fellowship as an order whose esoteric focus is to find and destroy the undead Shaharim--whose purpose is first and foremost to seek a way to release their dread master, Shahar, but also to destroy the surviving Madrani and all who rever Aheru.

The Way
All blade wanderers must follow a code, which they call the Way. They must dedicate their every action to the Way, which includes seeking out and destroying any vestige of Shahar's Taint, which manifests in many forms. Other aspects of the Way include an ascetic and nomadic lifestyle: blade wanderers never keep more wealth than they can carry; furthermore, a blade wanderer dedicates their life towards serving the Way--self-interest is secondary and only applicable when it serves the Way.

Mystic Weaves - It is said that there were once many more known mystic weaves--but most have been forgotten. Where applicable, mystic weaves are as divine spells.
*Aheru's Silence - As the spell nondetection; lasts 1 hr/level; DC 12+class level.
*Blade Cocoon - the blade cocoon takes a full attack action to prepare, during which the blade wanderer whirls their weapon in a vortex around themself, creating a shimmering cocoon of protection. The blade cocoon provides a spell resistance of 10+class level; however, if it is sustained--if the blade wanderer continues to whirl his blade--the cocoon gives a spell resistance of 12 + class level + Wisdom modifier. It lasts for 1 minute per class level.
