Kharash the Hunter
"Kharash stalked the dragon for thirty two days. Thirty two days the monster was in his sight, and for thirty two days he inched closer, moving no more than two feet between sunup and sundown. Finally, when the beast laid down to sleep for the thirty second day, Kharash had only to reach out his spear and stab the beast through the eye, its last roar shrieking from its throat even as its brain oozed down the shaft."

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Adventurers will sometimes put a stylized Face of Terror onto a monster den that they were forced to flee from, indicating that the beast inside is formidable. Some intelligent monsters will put this on their lairs in order to avoid the hassle of novice would-be hunters.
Some Reverents see such a mark as a personal or even divine challenge.
Tenets of Faith
The Code of Kharash emphasizes that evil needs to be met head-on, but also that any fight worth getting into is worth winning. As such, patience, careful planning, and outright cheating (from the perspective of more stodgy strategists) are encouraged.
Holidays
The Hunt of the Hound is held every year on the Tenth of Newfall. It is celebrated by a large scale hunt, particularly of monsters or predators, and finished off with feasting and dancing.
