Hunting Lodge

Structure

This is where you go to start a proper hunt. Most people are welcome as apprentice hunters. They are considered apprentices until they've gifted about 100 silver worth of natural products to the lodge, then they are journeymen.

To graduate from a journeyman hunter to master hunter, a hunter has to build his or her own lodge. To be seen as a high master hunter, the hunter has to train hunters who mentor reputable journeymen.
