Venacri

Life on Crescier changes drastically based on where you call home, but one of the few constants that every settlement has to worry about are the Beasts. While sometimes benign, many Beasts are predators through and through. If given enough time to grow in strength, they can become incredibly dangerous thanks to their ever evolving bodies and minds. To these creatures, the Cres are simply another meal.

To combat this threat, the Cres have learned it is necessary to train some of their people to take these creatures down, preferably while they are still young. Called Venacri by the Cres, they all train to recognize the signs of a Beast and to hunt them down quickly. The Venacri work slightly differently between different subspecies, but some things are the same despite the cultural and environmental differences. No matter where they are, Venacri rarely work alone, as even young Beasts can still be a deadly foe. Small settlements will usually only have one Venacri stationed there to act as a scouts, calling in reinforcements from nearby towns or cities if a threat has been identified. In the case of an older, more dangerous Beast, the Venacri may decide it is not within their abilities to safely eliminate. In this situation, they would then petition for aid from Oathsworn and assist them in taking the Beast out.

Composition

Structure

Venacri operate in a loose hierarchy of experience and seniority, with older, more experienced hunters taking the lead over newer recruits. They very rarely work in teams larger than 5, and communication and interaction with other Venacri is limited to those stationed in the same place or in nearby settlements. In the case an Oathsworn is called in for assistance, the Venacri will defer to their leadership.
