Hunter Corps
The Hunter Corps of Sceya is a specialized formation of sharpshooters, guerilla warriors and ruthless killers who serve duke Theodor Ari, known as the "Hunter Prince". Born from their commander's experiments with standard imperial military doctrine and experiences from the Wildwalker Uprising, the Hunter Corps has served well in the jungles of Oilean and redefined how the Gold Empire can wage war.
