'Pure white oath-cloth given by Varré. The final trial to be anointed a Knight of Mohg, Lord of Blood. Soak the cloth with a maiden's blood... The blood of anyone's maiden will do. You are maidenless, are you not? But it is no matter, the blood of a stranger will do just as well.' The Bloody Fingers are the canon's most explicit hostile-Tarnished covenant : an order of invading assassins given over to Mohg, Lord of Blood, recruited at the Rose Church and the Site of Lost Grace. Varré, the unsubtle priest of Rose Church, runs the recruitment ; the Festering Bloody Finger is the consumable that lets a Bloody Finger invade other players' worlds in real-time multiplayer. Lore and mechanic align : the Bloody Fingers are PvP given a religion.

'In defiance of the fate he was born to.' Eleonora the Violet, Yura the Bloody Finger Hunter, Nerijus, the Ravenmount Assassin, these are the canon-named Bloody Fingers, each met as a hostile invader by the Tarnished's own agency. Their souls are gifts to the Formless Mother. Mohg's intention with the order was to build a private army of grief-poisoned lord-candidates ; the order grew faster than he could control because the Lands Between has more grief-poisoned Tarnished than any one demigod can use. Many a Bloody Finger keeps invading, after Mohg is dead, with no remaining patron and no idea their religion has run out of god.
