Meeting The Vice-Sect Leader

John followed Elder Thame to the infirmary hall, which was quite large. The hall spread hundreds of yards wide and long, and contained thousands of infirmary stations, which treated the most gravely injured sect members.

Several hundred of the beds were occupied, each victim showing gruesome wounds, causing John to raise his eyebrows slightly.

"What happened here?" John asked curiously.

Elder Thame looked around the room for a moment before responding. 

"Many of them were injured by trivial things, like fighting against strong beasts they couldn't handle. However, about half of them were injured by the taboo sects, namely the Bloodfiend Sect and its allies," Elder Thame explained.

"Bloodfiend Sect? Are we at war with them?" John asked. He had not heard of such a thing.
