The Great Hunt

Revision as of 03:21, 14 June 2011

The Great Hunt is a religious group and sporting club for monsters to revere the Black Beast (see Dread Gods) and engage in competition with one another to prove the greatest hunters and fighters. Each septek (or Church, decided by region) has a Huntsmaster who organizes the local cultists.

The Great Hunt is a private monster (and select pinkie) hunting club based on awards and merits. These awards are listed below. At the beginning of any given day of fighting, the hunter chooses what award and class of that award they are going for. A Hunter can achieve a maximum of 3 awards per day, the Fiend and Berserker awards do not have to be declared before hand. The Voucher (whoever says that the Hunter did or did not achieve the award) will back the Hunter up on their claim. Cheating is grounds for automatic dismissal from the Hunt. Awards cannot be granted if the Lord of the Hunt is not at the given practice to witness and take note. Along with the pronunciation of victory, the Hunter and the voucher must provide the names of those the Hunter killed/wounded.

"This is the Legacy of the Black Beast, the ancient creature that taught the monsters how to hunt, how to be cruel, how to survive. We are his Legacy, and we revel in the sport he gave to us."

1. note: Class 5 can be awarded multiple times
   1. note: Fiend and Berserker do not have to be declared
