The Forsaken are a people of the Children of Anubis, not a separate bloodline — an adolescent path of self-directed power, chosen freely, not a biological split from the marked line.
Those who turn away from Anubis's guidance become the Forsaken, choosing to wield the powers of their mark for their own purposes. Rather than leave the weighing of souls to Anubis, they deliver judgment themselves, acting as both judge and executioner. As Anubis does, they can feed souls to Ammit, devourer of souls. While Anubis only sends the most corrupted souls to be devoured, the Forsaken are bound by no such restrictions.
Feeding souls to Ammit is dangerous, for Ammit is eternally hungry and sometimes takes more than offered. The Forsaken walk a razor's edge between power and damnation, using their divine heritage as a weapon rather than a responsibility.
