The Beastmaster's Circle

The Beastmaster's Circle is an elite group of monster hunters and tamers based in Ravenfjall. Unlike typical monster hunters, their goal is not just to slay beasts, but to capture and tame them for use in defending the city and aiding in further hunts. Their expertise ranges from massive trolls to fierce dragons, and even includes magical beasts like chimeras and griffins. The Beastmaster's Circle is a source of pride for Ravenfjall, seen as a symbol of humanity's ability to coexist with and control the wild. Their methods have influenced animal husbandry practices throughout Järvimaa.  

The Hunt

• Beastmasters use a combination of tracking skills, magic, and specialized gear to locate their targets.
• They often study their prey for days or weeks, learning behavior patterns and weaknesses.
• Hunts are carefully planned operations, sometimes involving entire teams for larger creatures.

Taming

• Beasts are brought to secure facilities in Ravenfjall for the taming process.
• Beastmasters use a combination of magical binding, behavior modification, and establishing dominance.
• The process can take months or even years for the most formidable creatures.

Notable Tamed Creatures

• Sköll, a frost dragon used for aerial reconnaissance and defense
• Grímr, a stone troll that aids in construction and city defense
