Royal Corps of Monster Hunters RMCH
The Corps is known to the public as, more or less, just another branch of the Purple Dragons, much like the mysterious and powerful War Wizards. This awards them the general respect of the populace towards their lawkeeping and protecting soldiers and mages, though the Corps is also known to be less than a police force, and more of an elite unit that is usually on patrols to the most dangerous parts of the realm. With a unique application process, few tend to become these Monster Hunters, and it grants them some status among the regular armed forces and people of the realm who know the significance of the unit. They have recently taken to recruiting from the hordes of adventurers that pass through Cormyr, though the reason why can only be speculated upon. Recently most of the Corps' numbers seem to be on long-term assignments, and the recent recruits are some of the most visible members of the unit, led by their Swordmajor, Kyra Greytower.
Among adventurers, there are mixed opinions of the Corps. Some support their valiant efforts to protect the populace and battle the monsters of Cormyr, while others attempt to make trouble or belittle the new troops with petty crimes. Still others are ambivalent regarding the unit. It seems there is an opinion for almost each that knows of the group, but telling which is the most accurate is impossible for most. However, there is a common misconception that the RCMH is a law-enforcement group, which has fostered misheld beliefs about the role of the unit and the possible misuse of their arrest powers. While the Corps actively tries to dissuade this belief, it still has a standing today. This is possibly due to the more checkered past of the Corps, with the assumption that the new recruits have picked up the worst habits of their far-past predecessors.
This is a special kadrath-sized unit that is stationed more or less permanently in Thunderstone just across the Thunderflow from the Hullack Forest. This unit is outfitted as heavy infantry, although each member of the unit also knows how to ride, and is composed as the toughest, most hard-bitten veterans in the Purple Dragons. Their function is to fight not armies, bandits, or raiders, but monsters of all sorts. They specialize in the tactics of fighting the wide variety of fell beasts that might be found in Cormyr (and are found in the confines of the Hullack Forest and the nearby Vast Swamp).
This unit is considered so special and elite — composed of the toughest and most experienced veterans — that an oversword is given command of it. None of the men in this unit are of less than first sword rank, as it takes that much experience to prove oneself worthy of being assigned to the Monster Hunters. Also unlike regular units, the members of this corps come from all parts of Cormyr and even include some immigrants from outside the Forest Kingdom who have proven themselves. Although the regulation size of an infantry kadrath is 92 men, it is historically common for commanders of this elite unit to pad their numbers somewhat, so that a full force can be fielded even when some are on the sick or injured list. The actual number of men in the Monster Hunters thus fluctuates, and is currently about a hundred men.
Oversword Faril Laheralson is the current commander of the Royal Corps of Monster Hunters as of the Year of the Gauntlet (1369 DR). It is unfortunate to say that Oversword Laheralson has let the elite status of the unit go to the heads of both himself and his men. The Monster Hunters think very highly of themselves to the man, to the point of thinking of themselves as above normal military discipline. They are the self-appointed law in the town, and mostly do as they wish. They generally dominate the residents of Thunderstone, although they don't quite tyrannize them, and they tend to get a little wild and rowdy in their conduct. The townsfolk have complained, but the King turns a blind eye to the conduct of the men because they are very effective at battling the monsters that lair in the Hullack Forest and keep them contained. So long as the townsfolk are thus protected and the Monster Hunters do not sink to actual criminal acts, it is likely that the King will continue to tolerate the behavior of Oversword Laheralson and his men and the townsfolk will do little more than complain.

It is common knowledge that a citizen may apply to join the ranks of the army at the various barracks spread throughout the realm. The Royal Corps is known to have a slightly more vigorous selection process, but the initial step of submitting a basic application to the members is widely known to be the same.
