The Red Harvest

Motto: Blood and Gold.
The Red Harvest are a group of swords-for-hire who have committed their lives and livelihood to hunting monsters for profit. Members of the Harvest are most often driven by a desire for wealth, glory, or vengeance and are usually trained in some combination of martial combat, magic and alchemy. Guild member teach and hone a respect for their enemies; the likes of dragons, fiends and ghosts are naturally deadlier than mortal swords and arrows. Consequently, the Harvest rarely engages their foe on even footing--traps, poisons, and ambushes are regular weapons in their arsenal.
The Red Harvest are exceptionally skilled in "field dressing". These mercenaries deconstruct their prey, taking every valuable piece they can carry and turning it for profit to line their pockets or concoctions to coat their weapons and armor on their next hunt.
Unlike militant orders of paladins or wizards, members of the Red Harvest are varied in goal, background and alignment. Nevertheless, they generally hold to three key tenets:
1. Respect thy Enemy. Your foe is stronger and faster than you are. Never fight unprepared. Never underestimate the prey.
2. Humility. Know when you are outclassed. Ask aid of your allies when needed, and share the just rewards. The prideful, greedy and arrogant sleep in shallow graves.
3. Waste not, Want not. A monster's corpse is clad in gold from snout to tail, if you know how to mint the coins.
