Dhari Hunter

The jungles and plains of Thule are home to plentiful game animals, but few of these creatures are easy kills. Creatures such as the giant elk, the Thulean sloth, or the woolly mammoth sell their lives dearly. Worse yet, hunters who venture into the wilds risk becoming the prey of the even more dangerous predators that hunt the same game the hunters seek. Only the bravest men and women dare to hunt in the wilderness of Thule—and you are one of them. Leading a life close to nature, you are quick, keeneyed, inured to hardship, and intimately familiar with the plants and animals of your favored hunting grounds. Your spear or bow is your companion; you are fearless in the face of any wilderness hazard or natural danger. Few indeed can match your woodcraft or your endurance. Most of the Dhari tribes are humans of Dhari descent. However, there are a few halling tribes who roam the deep forests of Dhar Mesh, and  share a similar lifestyle, so you could easily be either human or halling. Humans of other nationalities are generally too civilized to master the hunter’s skills to the same extent as a native of the forests, but some do. Kalay or Lomari hunters are likely to be individuals who pursue dangerous game to harvest valuable pelts or ivory, as opposed to hunting for basic subsistence. It is a dangerous way to earn a living, and by necessity they must learn the same skills that savage hunters do. Dwarves and elves rarely become hunters, since they
aren’t tribal societies and don’t often practice the trades of trapping or ivory-hunting. Key Identity: Human (Dhari or Kalay), halling,barbarian, ranger, rogue, druid.

Suggested Characteristics

  Naturally, you are held in high honor by your own tribe, and by all who are friendly to your tribe. In addition, you may enjoy a reputation as a guide or tracker of great skill. Anyone contemplating an expedition into the jungles of Dhar Mesh or the plains of Nar would be wise to retain the services of a Dhari hunter. Thule’s savage beastmen are mortal enemies of the
Dhari peoples, and they especially hate you. Most beastmen attack you on sight, and everyone with you. It is a rare day when you meet a beastman and no blood is spilled.
