Hunter

Respect the forest and her children, and she will bestow upon you many gifts. Long before the first stones of the grand kingdoms had been laid, there was The Wild. Hunters called groves and fields home, just as the elk and boar still do.

Hunters are Relentless Trackers, Masters of the Wild, and Deadly from Afar or Up Close. As an expert survivalist, you mark your prey, becoming a shadow in pursuit, relentless and precise.
