We dwarves are naturally isolationist folk but for too long have our lands gone unexplored and wild; teeming with beasts of all sizes and ruins lost to nature. For this reason, the The Grand Hunters Guild was formed, a guild whose goal is to encourage and organize dwarves in exploring the great unknown and hunt the beasts within it.

 

The Grand Hunter's Guild's crest has four symbols on it that are the ideas that the Guild seek to follow. The top representing Respect for nature, the left representing Life as a community, the bottom representing Crafting from nature, while the right represents Prosperity from nature.


 

Operations

 

 

Mapping and Exploration

 

The Grand Hunters Guild of Urguan is responsible for the exploration and charting of Urguan’s underdeveloped territories, acquiring knowledge of not only the geography but the flora and fauna that inhabit it. Hidden throughout said territories, ruins, artifacts and beasts alike remain undiscovered, unobtained, and unexamined by the Dwarven populace. Through their discovery, these riches, ruins and knowledge shall give Urguan a better understanding of these lands, how their inhabitants survived and why they vacated them centuries ago. 

 

 

Maintaining the Balance of Hefruth

 

During their exploration of Dwarven lands, The Grand Hunters Guild is expected to run into and deal with threats of all forms - ranging from local fauna to monstrous beasts. The Guild is responsible for the regulation of all these hunting activities within the Kingdom’s borders and to manage the active monster population in the surrounding areas. This is so they can prevent species from going extinct, as the Guild does not exist to annihilate all monsters but to harmonize dwed with nature in the Teaching of Hefruth. Depending on the threat, the Guild may also wish to further examine slain or captured beasts, as the secrets of this new realm and it’s fauna have yet to be fully uncovered. In extreme situations, the Grand Hunters Guild may call upon the Legion of Urguan to assist in dealing with any and all threats.
