The Hunter's Guild
The Hunter's Guild is an adventurer's guild based out of Enekraad but which has other holdings in Immrion, Arluck, Thogboldan and smaller holdings in many other cities.
While travelling to Melnyk to inspect the newly completed prison, Grand Duke Ifan Valrak II encountered Brosov. As with so many other travellers, Brosov demanded the Grand Duke pay the toll which was refused outright as an insult of the highest order. The impressive retinue the Grand Duke had brought would prove incapable of stopping the beast. The two survivors reported little of the Grand Duke's ignominious last moments. His heir Georgi Valrak II would open the contract not long after his ascendency to the throne.

Stalking the many befouled glens of the Poxweald, Glottus is an abhorrent result of the maddening corruption that has scarred the lands. Wielding an awful tolling bell in one hand and a massive flail in his other, the very ground quakes in his steps.The Dread Falcon of Horakh-Dhrum
Contract opened by the Emperor Thonmon Forgeborne of Orimid after it had killed his Son & heir, Arbead ForgeborneThe Flame Salamanders of Last Clearings

Known simply as The Horror, it is an enormous Sand Dragon, larger than any in reported history.

Bloodsilt, Terror of Kirshall
The first notable beast slain by the guild's founder [FOUNDER], Bloodsilt was a black wyvern with ruby scales that had harassed the smallfolk for decades, at best devestating live stock populations and culiminating in the desolation of several smaller settlments in the Calpurnian KingdomBrosov, Tollmaster

Upon spotting passing caravans, it was known to march down from the mountains and demand tolls of food and gold from the travellers. On occasion where the unfortunate souls were unable to pay the troll's toll, Brosov was known to fly into an impressive fury, destroying the caravan and killing any he could get his hands on.While travelling to Melnyk to inspect the newly completed prison, Grand Duke Ifan Valrak II encountered Brosov.

Structure
At the top of the Guild is the Lord-Master of The Hunt, who is the member of the Hunter's Guild who has proven their abilities not just in hunting, but as a leader and administrator as well. They are chosen from among the Knight-Lieutants who lead the Hunter's Cadres.
Beneath the Lord-Master is the Master of Arms, responsible for maintenance and procurement of arms and armor, and the First Blade who is the second finest hunter behind the Lord-Master, is responsible for the initial research into open contracts and is who offers the contract to each Cadre Leader they see fit for the position.
Each Hunter's Cadre is led by a Knight-Lieutenant and Seargant-at-Arms, the Knight-Lieutenant being the acting commander, and the Seargant-at-Arms being their assistant and second in command.
According to one's abilities, each aspirant begins as a Novitiate and is assigned to a Hunter's Cadre, of which there can be as many or as few as is necessary at the time. Once they have proven themselves to their respective Knight-Lieutenant, they are promoted to the rank of Hunter.
