The Radiant Blood was founded by Nuhmudira, a powerful mage and long-time defender of the rights and welfare of the Isparian peoples of Dereth. With her foresight and magical acumen, Nuhmudira soon realized that the greatest threat to the Isparian colony on this benighted island was not from Bael'Zharon or the Virindi or any of a host of alien menaces, but the machinations of the Empyreans themselves. She realized that even the putatively benign Yalain, including the foolish mage Asheron, have a history of treating less powerful peoples as pawns in their cosmic games, and that the only way to truly secure the future of the Isparian settlements of Dereth would be to destroy the last lingering Empyrean presence on this world.
Nuhmudira believes that the Empyrean races of Dereth enjoy too many magical advantages over our own recently arrived peoples, and that to defeat them, we must master their own tools. To that end, Nuhmudira conducted her own experiments, pursuing knowledge that Asheron would forbid us. She learned that the lifestones of Dereth, while seeming to be a boon granting eternal life to Isparians, were in reality a vile Empyrean plot to selfishly sustain their own obsolete existences at our expense. Nuhmudira learned how to sever the connection between an Isparian soul and the Empyrean lifestones, and even learned to create her own lifestones, for the benefit of allied Isparians only.
Some would think that Nuhmudira's vast knowledge and her stalwart defense of the Isparian people would win her the support and approbation of the mortal authorities that have set themselves over the Isparian realm: the monarchs Elysa and Varicci. Unfortunately, these self-appointed rulers, tainted by their own bargains for power and unsavory associations, view Nuhmudira with distrust and thwart her will at every turn. Nuhmudira's public break with the royal council of Elysa Strathelar is evidence that the Queen is too far under the influence of the selfish meddler Asheron, whose own poor judgment has had disastrous consequences for many different races and realms.
To join the Radiant Blood, one must prove oneself as not only a capable warrior, archer or mage, but also as a true defender of one's own fellow Isparians. One must be willing to sacrifice anything and everything, including one's own life or soul, in advancement of the greater good. No sacrifice can be too great in pursuit of our ultimate goal: a Dereth free of outsider manipulation, with the land and its endless bounty given over solely to the benefit of Isparians. As the world's own rich blood seeps from wounds created by more Empyrean mistakes, will you choose to side with your own people, or with the unknowable outsiders who seek to use us for their own selfish ends?

Walkthrough
To begin your journey on becoming a Radiant Blood member you
must have first completed the Introduction to the Three factions
quest before. See here for that writeup.
Introductions To The Societies
You must also be level 180+ in order to join a society. The NPC's in all of the societies will not give you the task if you are under that level.
In order to join The Radiant Blood, head over to the Radiant Blood NPC Ayesha. She is located in Zaikhal at 12.8N 0.7.
She will ask you to head to the Corrupted Catacombs and retrieve a Corrupted Mana shard for her in order to become a member of the society.
*Note all society tasks for initiation and tasks inside are the same for each one.*
Head to the Corrupted Catacombs at 23.9S, 54.1E, very close to Sawato.
This is able to be done completely solo, so you do not need to bring a group with you in order to do this task.
The place is a maze so go slowly. Proceed through the dungeon looking for down ramps until you find a Slimy Key.
Or you can skip this step if you have lock pick.
Once you have the slimy key you need to go back to a large open room and on the far side is another ramp down.
You'll know your going the right way as you'll start seeing armored scalavus. Once you start encountering the armored scalavus stick right and keep heading down. You will pass a surface portal. On the right hand side will be a door, use the Slimy Key on the door to unlock it.
Once past the door dispatch the Armored Scalavus inside and double click the mana shard pedestal to receive it into your inventory.
*Note*
This corrupted mana shard will only last one hour, so do not log out thinking it will still be in your inventory when you play again.
You have one hour to get back to the NPC, before it disappears from your inventory. So remember to turn it in ASAP before the hour is up.
Return the shard to Ayesha of the Radiant Blood in Zaikhal to be initiated into the Radiant Blood faction.
You can now access the portal behind her and gain access into the society stronghold.
Upon entering head North from the drop and down the ramp. And then south. You'll see a surface portal on your right hand side, which if used will take you back to the surface.
The East section of the stronghold contains NPC's that assign you tasks to complete for the society. You can tell which one's you can do by ID'ing them, as you can only do the one's your rank is at. There are also vendors here, as well as NPC's that will test you as you gain rank.
To the west are the NPC's that give out Society Armor per Armor Writ. You gain these by doing tasks for the NPC's in the East room and then buy them via the merchants there. You also receive an armor writ each time you advance in rank.
The tasks given to you by the NPC's in the East part of the complex are on 6day timers.
The north section contains the Society Master, the promotions officer to which to turn in your promotion ribbons, and society vault keeper. You can use the Initiates Treasure Key you got from joining the society here. Make sure and read the chest descriptions carefully.
Congratulations you've now become a member of the Radiant Blood Society.
