Muckhunter Society

Description

The Muckhunter Society is an initiative started by a group of hunters in the Duchy of Redden to avoid competition and to turn monster hunting and scouting into a viable profession. It has also spread a little to some of the directly neighboring Duchies, but only to regions where monsters are still a significant problem.

Services

The Society takes contracts for scouting out potential threats and hunting down monsters. Hunters can join the Society to socialize, as well as network for hunting parties to go on these contracts. Any hunter or hunting party that signs up for a contract is given an enchanted, wooden coin that is attuned to their heartbeat. If the wearer dies their coin goes inactive, if all members of a hunting party die or if they return their coins without completing the contract, the contract is reactivated.
The Society has also used their funds for an extensive campaign to improve their image and market themselves as an entity that is indispensable in a world with these savage creatures. The annual Griffin hunting competition has been an important part of this campaign. As the name suggests, hunters from all over are sent to an area known to have Griffins and there is a competition to see who can track down and slay the Griffin(s) first. In case of multiple Griffins being present, the party that slays the most wins.

The claw may be stronger, but the arrow is more precise.
